    Loo rolls - I'm going to bury a stash in the garden so I can dig them up when needed!

    I've got Tesco cumberland sausages for our toad in the hole this evening. I buy the finest ones if I do buy supermarket sausages as they come in 10s and we use 5 a time so I'll freeze the others. We have a couple of good butchers not too far from us, I used to drive to a neighbouring village and buy them 5 weeks worth at a time, but increased petrol costs have put paid to that. The local butcher I can walk to is an acceptable alternative, and has the advantage of being bigger sausages.

    Whenever I pop into Aldi I always make a point of buying a shedload of tinned stuff. Chopped toms in particular as they're very versatile for batch home cooking on the slow cooker for CCCs, curries and spag bols. 

    I also like tinned soups as they're rather filling, relatively healthy and well priced at around 50p per tin. So I buy around 16 tins of different flavours which will last me a good couple of months.

    The beauty of tinned food is that they have a relatively long shelf-life. So buying in bulk now could save me a few quid further down the road

    I've just been to Tesco to get some crisps  to add to DD's packed lunch. Gosh they were dear if you bought the smaller  size packets.
