Well chuffed this evening to bag 4 packs of meat balls, reduced from 2.00 GBP each to 45p, 12 in a pack sufficient for 2 meals.
So I fried them up, and made a thick tomato sauce to go with them.
All eight portions costing less than a fiver to make, now that's what I call a bargain!
Still not the best I had from my local supermarket. That was 9p for a roast chicken! 
Anyone else likes food bargains? |

Yesterday - not QUITE such a good bargain as yours - but got a free range chicken for £5 and 8 pork chops for £5 - so cooked up the chicken, which so far has fed me 3 times (and whole tupperware tub full of breast left yet - curry etc ,e thinks!!! LOL)
And i cooked up 6 of the pork chops on a casserole - so have 6 portions of that now in the freezer.

Were the meatballs from Tesco as my local store was flogging them off as well tonight but they looked kinda off. I guess you have to be quick to get the bargains.
Think it was 18 or maybe more in the packet??? |

I am one of those bargain hunters who go to the supermarket late at night for goodies, and have been doing it ever since I was a poor student! |

We are on a limited wage at the moment, so whenever we go to the supermarket we always check out the reduced section [ in particular the meat ]
Sunday roast pork
Monday roast chicken salad
Tuesday pancakes!!!!
Wednesday pork chops
Today fish
Tomorrow spaghetti bolognaise
This sunday roast duck
All from reduced section and frozen until needed, otherwise we couldn't afford to eat as well as we do!
We also have steak at least once a month. |

"Was given a fresh chicken for nowt in Lidl!"
I was in Edinburgh with my daughter shopping after she had finished work and she surprised me by getting lots of meat and veg and bread rolls in Lidl's for absolutely nothing! She informed me they give it away just before closing time, after the tills where you pay for what you have purchased it's placed where you pack your bags |

Batch cooking is very cost effective indeed!
Can't understand why peeps would pay 4.00 GBP for a single portion of ready meal in M&S, sorry! 
I hardly buy any ready meals, as I like to cook, and I know what goes into my food, and it works out cheaper! |

Asda are doing thier own Curry Sauce for 5p (large bottle) it's great value for knocking up curries to use up that cheap chicken you all buying and sticking in the freezer.
Recently they had low voltage light bulbs at 5p on the shelf, I bought 20 but at the checkout they went through at £2 each, when I questioned it a supervisor checked the shelf and said they were wrongly priced but adjusted my purchase to give me them at the advertised price (something they do not have to do) then quickly had the price ticket removed from the shelf so they could be re-marked at £2 each - result for me  |

Long live reduced section in the supermarket I'd say!
Got loads of cooked meat tonight as well. They are usually the pre-cut ones that have gone slightly dried. So the pets are in for a treat! For example, 20p for 3 big slices of top side roast beef!!! |

If its priced up wrongly and you get charged more its false advertising and could have got them some grief. (Well its technically theft if they take more than advertised at) You were very kind to them not to peruse things. |

Some of the staff miss me when I don't go in on a Thursday, and they would ask if I am ok the following week, bless them!
That's why I like late night shopping on Thursdays, as it is quieter, and the food I get will last until the weekend! |
