Supermarket reductions bargains

[itsybitsy]

So, this evening I purchased £78 of meat and fish from Waitrose for £30. I was pleased as punch with that. Always worth a speculative trip of an evening to your major supermarket of choice.

Nice one.

Oh yes

Nevermind discount food I got 3 sledges for 6p (2p each) in Asda ready for next winter

Probably the most visited area in the supermarkets for me.

Keep the dehydrator ticking over.

Yeah, don't fancy dehydrating smoked haddock though. Bleurgh.

I know a large supermarket is now having items with no best before date that did have before.

I once bought ten kilos of the really high quality basmati rice for a fiver, no idea why it was reduced, didn't appear to have a date on it and the bag wasn't damaged, guessing it was the last one and the packaging design had changed.

I'm always rummaging in the reduced section, I buy most of my meat from a local wholesaler (for about half what it costs in the supermarket) in bulk and freeze it, but that's everyday stuff, I keep a look out for things that are cheap that I can cook for a change, stuff like lamb shanks and interesting things that are more expensive or that I didn't think of buying.
