Lord Geordie Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Took a walk to meet my GF from the supermarket, had a mooch waiting for her to finish. I found 2 500g packs of beef mince down to £1.05 each. A few mince and dumpling meals there! I also found a pack of pork sausages down to 50p so bangers, mash and gravy for another day! Gets to the checkout, and another 48p came off the mince as apparently there is a buy 2 get % off. So I got a kilo of beef mince for £1.62. Result. Only way I can shop at the mo, but I am doing alright at it. Got a few hours overtime this week, so should be able to get a bit more than usual next fortnight. Mince n dumplings for tea tonight! Costing under 80p per head for 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) go to the well known supermarket about 8.30pm you can fill your trolley with cheap as chips bargains every little helps tried on a few occasions. Once I was waiting patiently for the chap to finish reducing a tray with about 30 packs of king prawns. Just as he finished a Chinese woman barged past, lifted the tray and POURED the whole lot in her trolly. I was gob smacked. The chap offered to get some back off her for me! I wasn't going to start WW3 over some prawns. I have also seen people physically PUSHING people out of the way. They are like animals. Hard to believe they were human at times! Once the jostling starts I just walk away. I used to do OK at the ASDA just near the blyth turn off. They did a really good reduction down to 10p. Gosforth one doesn't do that. Nor have I seen it at the metro centre. Morrison seems to do OK after a certain time. I just stock up and freeze a lot down. Liver, Fish, Pies, and when the veg is OK I blanch it and freeze that too.

Muddy Funker Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Another probably well known secret is the M&S shops attatched to BP garages.Drive around a few of these at the right time and look for the yellow dots, you can get some amazing deals on food.

Ricko Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Always check the reduced cabinet. Put it in the freezer or cook it straight away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheasant Feeder Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 The secret to shopping in the "cod head aisle" as me and the Mrs call it, is to go just after mucking the horses out, wellies the works. Nobody fancies getting too close and pushing you out the way then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 And drink! The low sulphur energy drinks are punchy and they are on draught! I find their normal prices are a billy bargain. As it is new year, I'll push the boat out and go 97 octane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
station Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Asda's always our favourite for 'billy bargain' time and I know what you mean about others being pushy. I too have been subject to two chinese ladies steam roller tactics ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
button Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 You cant beat reduced shopping! I got £70 worth of chicken breasts last weekend for £15. People that say they can not afford to eat well are talking pig swill just shop wise and cook yourself rather than reaching for menus and mobile £20 for a meal for two. No thanks! Good on you Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STOTTO Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I'm not above grabbing a bargain myself, however the reduced section in the supermarket I affectionately refer to as the ‘Carrion Counter’ not because of what is on offer but due to the hordes of human vultures hovering over it ready to fight to the death to save a penny!
