Good deal, the 4kg packs from Stafford Meats (formerly Whitehouses) were £23 last time I looked.Forgot to say it was £20!!
We got a load of meat from there a few weeks ago when they had some special offers on, nearly filling our freezer. The chicken breasts are huge as well. Considerably bigger than what you usually get in supermarkets. The sirloin steaks were probably the best bargain, 10 steaks for £20Picked up 5KG of Chicken breasts from the Butcher at Amerton Farm today...
Big woman was she?Was just in asda at the right time, the raiders were at the veg section and I got the meat section to myself at first! Then they realised and one woman took 10 large turkeys...
I did think this too, probably say it's chicken? Must have been a good 50kg of turkey!Big woman was she?
Or from a local restaurant. Serving up out of date Turkey tomorrow. Beware...
I remember watching watching one of the Lynton Tavern (old Crossbow) manager/landlord in KwikSave buying a shed load of reduced out of date crisps & snacks for the pub.Or from a local restaurant. Serving up out of date Turkey tomorrow. Beware...

No it was after him. I used to work in the Crossbow in the Frank Carey days (or colonel Carey / Major Carey whatever it was he called himself ).Frank Carey ?
Dave and Julie Alcock are the only ones I knew after Carey.No it was after him. I used to work in the Crossbow in the Frank Carey days (or colonel Carey / Major Carey whatever it was he called himself ).
Although he was such a skinflint "Ma'aaaam that's half a new pence you have just cost me " if the slightest bit got spilt overe whist pouring. I wouldn't be suprised if his "time ladies and gentlemen please , except for your pasties and pies should you require them" were reduced ones at the end of their shelf life. (My brother was their milk man and it was hard work for him getting the money for the milk & eggs each week as he wouldn't cough up!)
Jealous 🫣Just walked into Cash Converters and spotted a Bissel Spot Clean Pet Pro (RRP £170-odd)
£9.99, asked what the catch was and apparently it was just dirty really.
Just cleaning it up but all seems to be in working order, I just need to source the other head for it now
Don't you drink an awful lot of coffee??!!This will have very little real cost - the dishes are the lids of many coffee jars, the plywood is an offcut from the recent shelves. There will be a base, to stop the dishes falling through, but that will be a piece of the old hardboard ceiling, from before I put the current 'proper' one up.

I've developed a habit of using the lids to contain odd bits during a job, but I only need a couple of empty ones for that function at any one time, so I decided to make two trays like this. They will, eventually, slide on rails below the bottom shelf, taking up very little space and being useful to store odd bits and so that I know where an empty dish will be at any time.
The glass jars get recycled, but the lids seemed a 'handy size' and I've retained a good few of them now.
They have a waxed cardboard insert, but I remove them and they get used to start the fire.
