send me some tuna GWYN, you cant eat all of that.x :-)

Oh dear... People in this house have obviously been taking advantage of special offers and not telling me.
Quiet day with everyone out for a few hours, so I thought I'd sort and clean the store cupboard in the kitchen.

I found 26 tins of tuna.....mostly in special offer 4 in-a-pack.
Another surprise find was a jar of dolmades.. I wonder who bought them?

oh a bit far for me to go,even for hubby.x :-D

i bought them at the local tuesday market

its called doggie market because they used to sell dogs years ago

stick them in the freezer.
tell us where you got them from please :-D :-D

i will be buying another 15 next week to

what a bargain joy......my hubby loves cream eggs. :-D

i bought 15 cream eggs for £3 today
and they are in date till may 2012

as a checkout operator, you get to know the customers whose shopping is all marked down items (for what ever reason). same as you see the ones who NEVER buy anything that has been reduced! myself, if there is anything left in the reduced section, when i have finished my shift, i will always have a look, buy and unsually freeze the stuff to have in for a later day. best way to shop!

I donot buy reduced fresh food but l do search the shops when l want to buy household items, eg......just brought a new three piece suite and carpets and saved quite a bit, also l dont' shop in the charity shops but do go to car boot sales to buy my books ( do read between 2 /3 books a week ) :-D

Shameless as ever.I take my Aldi and Lidl bags anywhere. After all, they are my bags I can use them where I like.

The only thing to be careful of with dented tins is to make sure the end is not blown.

They can be a bugger to open too if the rim is a bit misshapen.

I have heard about people using Waixxxse bags to shop in Lxdl and Axxi - but I saw it first hand last Friday in Axxi's - elderly couple with three large fabric bags with Waixxxse blazoned across the front!

I won't buy dented tins - anything else up for grabs.

i wouldnt buy dented tins,

but meat with a best before the same day, or somtimes the next day, if im going to eat it or freeze it,the same day lol,

Maybe if I buy something really expensive and ease myself in. Aldi and Ldl may take a bit longer.

:-D At Vera. Go for it and wear a disguise. I can always lend you my mackintosh and ginger moustache...your neighbours would never recognise you! BC XX

God I'm such a snob and a poor one at that. I never buy reduced food in case anyone thinks I am poor! I will now take a look albeit m&s and wrose.

ive never bought reduced food thats been off ever,i always use it up and put it in the freezer,never leave it in the fridge.x

Few weeks ago was in a country grocery stroe and spotted Luxxak butter - sell by date previous day for 99p. I took 6 packets and sorry I did not take more - one went in fridge and 5 in freezer. Perfectly fine.

I buy over-ripe bananas then spend the morning baking banana bread and muffins for the freezer. I will sometimes buy reduced food if I know I will use it quickly otherwise it's not a bargain.

oh hayley your the odd one out,
but will put it down to your bad experience with the melon. :-D
