50% off is not to be sniffed at.
I usually work to either a) the "single pack of crisps" standard or b) the "chicken sandwich" standard, the former being about 85p and the latter being about £2.40 to see whether something is worthwhile taking or not.
Had some good reductions over the hols, like a kilo of beef mince for £1.76, a large lamb breast joint for a fiver and two 6kg free range bronze turkeys at £25 each down from £62. The latter were deboned, portioned up and frozen, and the carcasses boiled for stock.
Yesterday's star buy was 20kg of Maris Piper potatoes for £1.80.
Also picked up four cranberry & orange panettone for £1.37 each, down from £5.50. Not bad, when you consider that a bog-standard fruit loaf sets you back £1.65...
