What to do

If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:

"Poultry Prices"

To do this you need to join the Forum (if you haven't already, when you click reply you'll be taken through the process. It's free, of course).

APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check your private messages on Tuesday 18 April.

Bear in mind 75 names are being picked and there are only 50 books (because sadly not everyone gets in touch, so doing it this way helps to speed up the administration process), so you'll have to get in quick.

Also, please DON'T email in, as your name won't be counted. Nor include your contact details in this thread as, for your own safety, we don't allow personal details on the public forum so your post may be deleted.

This giveaway appears in the weekly email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips) and will close at 10am on Tuesday 11 April, so please get your posts in before then.

The giveaway has a strict one entry per household policy and entries can be deemed ineligible without any explanation or notification.

The book's blurb:

"So much more than cheap dinner ideas - here are recipes for meals that cost under a pound but look and taste a million dollars! So why not feed yourself for £1 or your family for less than a fiver?

Instagram chef sensation Miguel Barclay is taking the world by storm with his delicious meals that cost less than £1 per person.

'I've always loved cooking but I'm not a fan of needlessly over-complicated recipes that waste time and money.

So I've created my own style of cooking: simple ingredients, straightforward recipes and mouthwatering meals, all on a budget.

Now you can eat the food you love - from meatball marinara to chicken katsu curry, lamb moussaka to aubergine dal - all for under £1 per person.'

Miguel's easy-to-follow, ready-in-minutes recipes are for a single serving, and can all be cooked for under £1 per person - just multiply them up for more servings.

How will the people be chosen?

75 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and a private message will be sent to each of their winning usernames requesting their USERNAME, FULL NAME and ADDRESS details (there'll be an email address to send this information to, we don't want it done via private messages).

The FIRST 50 people to get back to us will win a signed copy of the book.

When will I get the book?

The publisher providing these books will send them out directly though, to aid administration, this won't happen until all 50 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. We'll update this thread to let winners know when they've been sent out.
