    Try Aldi and Lidl, I have been very impressed with their food ranges, especially Aldi. also Netto's fresh and cooked meat range is very good. Forget the snobbery and take a look.
    You can buy reduced short dated goods in advance and freeze them until needed. That's what I have done in the past. We have had many BBQ parties where costs have been very reasonable, and very MSE.


    LOL - im no snob, cheap 'n' cheerful is my way.......... if its cheap and nice i will have it, no matter where it is from!!!
    I will take a look in Lidl, one just up the road an see what they got, Thanks!

    Your local pub may have a Bookers card, maybe you could do a deal with them whereas they take you with them on their next trip.

    Might be worth asking as I know most of my local pubs have cash and carry cards although I would steer clear of buying booze because I have often found that by the time you add the vat on cash and carry prices they work out sometimes more expensive than Tesco/Sainsburys.
