The supermarket savings thread

Have you been using these?

Handy for when they've got some Quorn product really cheap and going for a big stock up.

 

They have bog-standard at £1.79,
French, American or Italian at £1.89
and Java or Colombian at £1.99.

All perfectly drinkable, even for sad people who can quote all Aldi's prices.

 

Yes indeed as has been said previously, many of the supermarkets wiil be overstocked this year, as supermarkets will often overestimate demand when doing a prior order. Therefore Christmas eve (after 12pm) there will be some seriously amazing bargains to be had.. mostly on Christmas meats, like turkeys, chickens and party food. I know it goes against every instinct that tells you not to do Christmas shopping last minute, but these are when the bargains will really shine through.

 

(Rubs hands together gleefully) I will be on the look out for interesting cheeses and nibbles to consume on the sofa in front of Strictly and Downton.

 

I love my coffee in the morning ,get it all ready before I go to bed, I know I shouldn`t, then in the morning I just wander through ,flick coffee on open curtains in lounge ,etc , by then It`s ready ,sit and savour , The rest of the day it`s N@#$%#e Gold Blend,

 

Tried the Asda smart price chips tonight and they were really good! Shall be using those from now on!

 

Thanks Scrungee, but we only really pick up odd things in Farmfoods on a regular basis, rarely enough to use a voucher, unfortunately. Perhaps we should do one big shop every other week in there and then use a voucher and save in the long run...hhmmmm

 

Normally OK for those who like straight ones, but I like mine 'crinkly'.

 

Willow confessed recently that she thought I used to cut the crinkles by hand.

 

I cook fresh every night, anything from risotto and paella to curries to stews. I shop mainly in Morrisons now, their meat and chicken are first class,as is the veg and fruit. Although I bake my own bread, I do buy fresh in Morrisons too. For the toiletries I use home bargains and most weeks for us our shopping bill is around 50 quid. We do Meal planners and we very rarely throw stuff away. When stuff like meat is on offer I buy a load and freeze, so that saves a hell of a lot

 

Bought another bottle of Aldi's version of Bailey's today for Christmas. Called 'Ballycastle' and is £5.99 a bottle - if you enjoy Bailey's give this a try, I honestly struggle to tell the difference and it's less than half the price! Some of the wine is great as well!

 

I'd like to see that Zigs, bet it would take forever.
