Hi everyone,
Sometimes certain cheats can be worth spending money on to save time
For example:
1) I have discovered frozen diced onions - I HATE chopping onions, and it used to make cooking such a drag. Just made HM chicken korma from scratch and without having to chop those pesky onions, I actually enjoyed making it and eating it.
2) I buy frozen ice cubes - for 99p for a huge bag, and for the amount I tend to use when it is hot, it def is a preference.
3) Frozen mash - Ocado do frozen mash - not one for every day but if we are in a jam for time, it is so quick and easy, for a fallback!
What are your cheats that might not strictly speaking be MSE?!
