Another good haul in Morrie's for me, more cheap meat to line my freezer and some easy ready meals to grab and go to work from the freezer. £20.56 worth for the pricey sum of £4.12 Plus fed other half and myself out of the haul for tonight's tea for the grand sum of £0.50.
Plus banked a cheque received in the post from family today...
