Here's how I picked my tea for tonight.
We walked around Tesco and went to their Reduced Section. Here's what I found and I made my meal choice by looking at the price label:
Stuck for a food idea for tea? Have a trip to your supermarket and look in the Reduced section.
Do you go looking for food bargains?
I always look for bargains. Not often found here. There's only 1 supermarket and a few grocery shops.
ReplyDeleteBut Lidls!! I wonder when I'll go there again. Love their bargains
Hi Linda. Living in Ireland which is such an expensive country. It's good to seek out bargains. I am glad we live near Lidl.
DeleteThat was a bargain!
ReplyDeleteWe always visit the reduced section to look for the yellow stickers and buy bargains when we can get them. These days, though, I also have to check the ingredients to make sure there is nothing to unsettle my poor stomach so no more ready meals for me. I like it when they have salmon or chicken fillets reduced to half price. They are so expensive at full price.
Yes it was a bargain JayCee. What it tastes like might be another matter.😃
ReplyDeleteThat won't work for me, I have a few allergies and then things I don't like, chillies are top of the list. Marlene, Poppypatchwork
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene. We grew chillies this year in the polytunnel. They are very easy to grow and require little water. I wild probably complain the shop bought chill is too mild.
ReplyDeleteI always head for the reduced...and at the right time if I travel by car..by bus in the evening is a problem
ReplyDeleteThere is always a bargain to be found GZ if you are prepared to look down every aisle.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to find a bargain. I hope yours was tasty.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was fine but not very hot and spicy.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to buy certain reduced price items but there are some I would steer away from - including fish, fresh chicken and stir fry vegetables. If you are cooking the reduced item on its "use by" date then you'll surely be perfectly fine. Also - it is good to have some space in your freezer to save certain reduced price items.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree YP. Even sliced loaves of bread can be frozen. Perhaps we should all go shopping when they reduce the price?
ReplyDeleteHave you tried shoplifting? That is even cheaper and you get what you want. Herr Lidl doesn't seem to mind. It helps to save money for your household bills.
DeleteOr you could play at taking food out of othe4 peoples shopping trolleys and tell them they haven't paid for it yet? It's a great way of starting a chat.
ReplyDeleteIt is also a good way of starting a fist fight.
DeleteIt would make good Saturday night television: "Lets Start A Fist Fight In Asda.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were out of venison, and needed to buy meat, we would go to the store and buy our meat from the 5 for $19.99 cooler (do they have those there?). I was quite good at getting there at the end of the weekend when they marked some of those meats for $1 off to move them out of the store. So I usually ended up paying $14.99 for the lot. I bring them home, put them in the freezer. It's a good cost saver.
ReplyDeleteI love slow cooker chili. Beans, minced meat, tomatoes, pepper and onions, let them simmer away for an afternoon. Makes the house smell great too.
They do a 3 for 9 Euros meat offer in Lidl Debby. I love a good chilli. The hotter the better.
ReplyDeleteI always like a bargain. I'm sure the food tastes better for having a reduced price :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Jules.
