TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 I think many of the supermarkets are clearing out their overburden. It can be a good time to buy if you have the time to do all the work and somewhere to store all that you make. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I do anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Crockpot do a multicooker for around £80, it frys, stews. slow cooks, pressure cooks, steams etc etc. Veg times are mental ie mashed potatoes 9 minutes, brussels 3 mins.

Bigbob Posted December 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 I went to 2 Morrisons today and there veg was a good bit dearer than Tesco , I used to get salmon heads 20pence each for some reason the lurchers love one each there was none but they had jumped up to 75 pence each , then the fishmonger came down the aisle and said its your lucky day we have two and there reduced to 30pence each , Then i usually buy all the pork crackling and give the dogs a bit each day i think it helps them maintain condition and there where only two packs i think the supermarkets are still trying to clear out the xmas surplus and maybe the 3rd or 4th will will see some better bargains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
