Today's Yellow Sticker Bargains

[Reynard]

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...

Oh dear, I had a snaccident...

Went for petrol, popped into Tesco for some more cranberries to stash in the freezer (cranberry & orange marmalade is bloody lovely, btw), and picked up a large pack of smoked mackerel that was 40% off and half a kilo of "finest" stilton for the grand sum of £1.58.

There where half a dozen packs, and it went in my heart to leave the others behind at that price, but realistically, I have no use for three kilos of stilton...

Had it been something like cheddar or red leicester etc, I'd have cleaned them out.

I like red Leicester.

And today on a meander into town
3 packs of Asda Speciality Chipolatas, usually £3 ea reduced to 90p. Perfect for a quick cheap meal sometime.
These are nice sausages, you hardly get any fat out of them when air fried. I cooked some cheap ones the other week...crikey, that fat in them!!!!

My wife picked up a Christmas cake from M&S yesterday for 80p. Best before the end on March but, obviously, no longer topical. Enjoying another piece with a coffee as I type this.

Cheap sausages are great if you want really well-seasoned dripping...

Top tip: chipolatas make really great mini meatballs if you snip them into four, and then poach them in a pasta sauce.

Lol, last week I brought a fresh pizza in Asda, £5 yellow stickered down to £3, that'll do for a quick dinner sometime.
The following day, I walked past the freezer and looked at the forlorn and now ruined pizza sat ON TOP of the freezer, NOT in it.
Ah well, in the bin..
Since retirement I now shop in the morning and found the reduced section well stocked...obviously they clear the shelves in the morning

Ducked into Waitrose on an unrelated matter this afternoon. Picked up four standard avocadoes, a pack of red pears, a Pont Leveque cheese, a large tub of marinated anchovy fillets and some corned beef off the counter, all on YS / clearance. Didn't think I did too badly for a tenner.
