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.
We knew a guy that worked for plumrose but I don't think the quality is there anymore. Just opinion./
PS never had a kebab ever !!0 -

Here is a very odd one.
Just checked to see what I need to buy for Quidco clicksnap - just the little dog food for the doggy food bank
I noticed I had a declined cashback for Travelodge for £9 - that was puzzling in itself as I have one Travelodge booking done very recently but previously I think it was about this time last year and I don't think Travelodge do Quidco cashback and anyway its mostly Topcashback I use these days.
Then I had another look and the booking was for September 2010 :eek:
So the £9 wasn't the cashback but the actual amount I paid :T
No idea what it is but I know that when eldest child was at uni we used to stay in a Travelodge close by and when I first got to find out about Travelodge sale days I would get up at 6 to make bookings and one time we managed to get bookings for January, feb and March and they would have been £9 and £19 rooms
(Needless to say the same rooms at the same time of year are now £29 or £32 cheapest midweek and not a cat in hells chance of getting a Saturday night for under £120)

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.
Ok, I think I'll do it. I've got some morries mince in the freezer from the meat voucher. Maybe I'll do a half and half that and the basics. And like mhoc suggested, I'll do a coleslaw.
I've got plenty soured cream, might do a salsa (cheapo recipes welcome), and going to do 3 bags of jacket spuds. Also, got some tortilla chips from a while back that will go with it.0 -

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
Hi, real flying visit as off to work.
If you have a Home Bargains near you get your spuds there, 2 kilos of nice potatoes for 55p. HTH.Hope is not a strategy.0 -
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
So, what's worth getting in tesco at the moment? I presume with the £60 min spend and £10 maximum price promise voucher it's not worth trying to wangle a pp and better just to get as much as possible for the spend?
P.s. I have 2 clubcards that don't get used for shopping online - reckon it'll let me claim the 1500 points on both of them?Oct Challenges: Make £5 a day - £5.18/£155 Grocery Challenge - £0/£2000
