    Yes, worth it in the end - just wish I'd started the process earlier.

    Does everyone who collects tosco points know about the code that gives 1500 points on a £60 grocery spend? I've just been to collect mine and the points are on!!
    It was on head for points recently and I think it runs out on the 20th. For new customers, but I used an old account and it was fine.

    I've stocked up on tins and storecupboard stuff.

    Google head for points and search tesco for the code, which I can't post here.

    edit-code is in the discount code section on mse!! no. 586

    Hi everyone, after some advice really before I go shopping.

    Tomorrow I am catering for a party and have agreed to make a chilli and spuds for 60 people. Sainsburys basics mince is half price at 75p for 400g. I wouldn't normally get this and was planning on Ms 2 for 3.50 stuff. However, my friend who is paying is really hard up and I want to save her some money.

    If I use the basics mince do you think it will taste good? Or shouldn't I risk it? I've got some soured cream rtc 20p a while back and will get the baking spuds on apg comp shop so 1.80 a bag. Got the maxi toms and sp kidney beans and always get an onion as a filler so loads in!

    Advice welcome. Thanks

    Sparkly...ive used S basics mince in the past,and its not that bad...just make sure you drain the fat off of it before you add anything to it.


    Recently ive also been using the T 500g for £2 again not bad once its drained.


    As you say you can pack the chilli out with some other bits so I would go for it.

    You can also add grated carrot to mince to pad it out and also oatmeal - I don't know what the proportions would be though.
    A MSE Elite catering expert will be along shortly :D

    Also I am thinking about dips and sides - home made coleslaw maybe which is just cabbage and carrot and onion etc

    I think its one of those foods you grow out of...then every now and again you'll return to it...


    Bit like a kebab...you live off them when you're young
    then wont go near them...until it suddenly seems a good idea after a night out...and actually you find it wasnt as bad as you thought......but only very occaisionally!


    Its probably over a year ago that we last had those sausages(if you can call them that)...after a family night out...they went down ok then ...but that might have been more to do with right time right place rather than a desire to have them again.
