I have loads of wonderful things from the REAL PRICE SECTION, I do every week but can't bring myself to post on this thread with details ever again because I truly hate the title of the thread. You know us sensitive types! 
Tesco about half an hour before closing today, got a couple of pots of tomato couscous down from £1.30 to 10p and some beetroot, bean and mint houmous for the same. There was loads of other stuff at 10p too but I'm going away Tuesday and I need to watch my weight between now and then so had to leave it. Got more free range chicken breasts for the freezer too, all £5.30ish down to £1.50ish.

The Tramp's in Bishopsgate Tesco is a veritable treasure trove.
Beware Orang Utan. I've had a couple of those Gressingham ducks that were about a third bigger than yours and found there was hardly enough meat for two people.

Enough for me then! It's massive, mine, though
Yes, there should be enough for one.
I didn't notice the weight of mine but at full price they were more like £17 each. Big birds with fuck all meat on them.

There's loads of meat and fat on a duck.Yes, there should be enough for one.

I thought so too. After the two big ones I bought I swore I'd never buy another but a few months later I was forced to buy another as it had an 80% discount yellow sticker on it and I couldn't bring myself to leave it there.There's loads of meat and fat on a duck.
Same again, nothing on it. I honestly would not buy another now, no matter how cheap it was.Funny thing though. You can also buy Gressingham duck legs for about a fiver for two. There's loads of meat on those, but not on the full ducks.
See how you go mate, but that's my experience.

I must have been lucky - I got a huge amount of meat. Much bigger than a chicken innit.I thought so too. After the two big ones I bought I swore I'd never buy another but a few months later I was forced to buy another as it had an 80% discount yellow sticker on it and I couldn't bring myself to leave it there.

Great bargains! Surprised you did't take your own bag - reduce, reuse, recycle!It's amazing how frustrating it is to have to pay 5p for a plastic bag for this lot
Having reorganised my freezer, it will be interesting to see if the salmon fillets from last September that I'm defrosting will be ok tomorrow night...
Indeed, I only popped in to the shop randomly and so just picked up all that I could carry, I have a kitchen cupboard with thousands of plastic bags inside, like every Welsh person these days

Tramps buffet iis dangerous when you're sick & miserable. Stopped off at Tesco last night & they had a luxury hot chocolate fudge cake pudding reduced from £4 to 32p!!!! I almost fought someone to get to it first.
Great haul yesterday. Rump steak (2), pork meatballs, a chicken, chicken breast, bag of salmon fillets and veal burgers. We had to defrost a whole duck and a gammon joint for today and tomorrow to make room in the freezer.
At the till the woman serving me said 'That's the last of those [salmon fillets]. There were four bags and a woman took three but said she felt guilty taking them all.'
Anonymous salmon-buying woman, I salute you.
