Best time to hit the 'Reduced To Clear' section?

[nogojones]

Oh and a pack of 5p peaches, a pack of 5p satsumas and a 20p bunch of tarragon - which made me buy cream and white wine to make a sort of tarragon and tofu stroganof type thing

Won't the alcohol evaopurate when cooked?

Not always, somebody looked at that a while back and to ensure its definitely all gone it needs a pretty long time of cooking. I'm allergic to alcohol.

It looked like Asda were clearing out their "Middle eastern" shelves today..

3 big jars of pickled lemons 34p each
1kg of girkins 80p
500g dried grreen lentils 30p
big bag of sumac and thyme 25p each

[killer b]

Oh yea, they're shit. and I don't lke cerial - They're for visiting kiddies

Variety cereal packs are for going on holiday and nothing else.

 

[DotCommunist]

you need two to a bowl and someone else always gets the coco pops or the ricicles then you're down to b list cereals, might as well cook something instead by that point

3 large perfectly ripe avocados for 8p each in Tesco.

The sticky label wouldn't scan though so i robbed them

Specifically camping. When the kids just open the weeny plastic bag, pour the milk in, and use a teaspoon that’s got dried baked beans on from the night before to eat it from the pack.

Bought at the “cook in the house” rather than the “Bbq” price.

Made me piss myself sitting on my own in a pub of strangers in Kerry. Now flagged as a loon.

Top work!

Definite contender for "haul of the year".

Inside gossip has the extra reduced at 7pm at my local. Got a ten minute early discount on 2 kilos of strawberries and grapes though for 1.75

Strawberries were pretty fucked despite being off today, can't believe they wanted 2.50 for the original reduction. Bunging a few in freezer to make juice at weekend.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Still miss this thread being called the tramps buffet...

Anyway got a pack of stolen cookies tonight. I'm going to have to show some self disapline soon by throwing them away or else I'll eat the whole pack.

Mrs B & myself have been doing v.well recently on the old reductions (esp. 'seasonal' stuff at the posh shops [M&S/Waitrose] ...and yesterday we were able to put some of the stuff towards the Purley Food Hub & the Croydon Refugee Day Centre via the David Lean cinema's free charity screening of Babette's feast . Such a good idea; book for the free screening, but rock up with whatever food & £ you can donate to the charities

Anyway...back OT, on the way home after the film we did give Morrisons a go for 'TB' and did very well...



A good day all round

 

[Poot]

I went to M&S yesterday expecting a bonanza of reduced goodies. There was nothing at all. Which makes me wonder where the heckers they put all of the xmas stuff (because I don't believe for a minute that it all got bought)

Probably fareshare or somewhere, they always seem to have loads of M&S stuff

That's a relief and they've redeemed themselves. My naturally cynical nature made me fear that it was in a skip somewhere so that the branding wasn't spoiled.

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

Im furious that i have found sweet F.A.

For me, the entire point of Christmas is to get as much reduced shit post Christmas day as possible. Never mind the presents, family & friends, boozing etc- if i dont get a trolley load of stuff (whether i like the stuff im buying or not) for mere pennies, Christmas is essentially ruined for me. Ill be scouring every shop for bargains today and tomorrow until i find something worthwhile.

£4 Asda smoked Salmon reduced to £1 yesterday as BBE that day. Bought 6 for the freezer along with some half price butchers counter duck breast and chicken breasts. Then the missus presented me with some half price wagyu ribeye steak when I was roused from my hangover today. Winning on the stickers right now.

2 x 50p packs of Richmond's sausages. One will go to sausage sandwiches and one to a sausage and vegetable bake or maybe sausage pasta bake. In the freezer now.

 

[May Kasahara]

A veritable bonanza of yellow stickers in Sainsbury's this morning, although I find they rarely reduce things by a staggering amount. Got an organic free range chicken for a tenner (was £15), some organic beef mince for 2 quid instead of 3, and a massive ox cheek for 1.79 (was 2.65).
