I had a good YS bargain yesterday, Lamb 'leg steaks' normally a fiver > £1.26 there were 4 packs but I only snaffled 3 of them (no more room in the freezer)

Got 1 pack cut into inch cubes and marinating for a Tagine for dinner.

Ooooo, that's a good one. The tagine sounds lush.

Know exactly what you mean about lack of freezer space. Though I did manage to shoehorn all that gammon in mine somehow.

Had some good pickings today. Amongst other items were three trays of organic pork chops at 55p a tray (my neighbour had those), several packs of ripen in the fruit bowl avocadoes for 19p a pack, a turkey breast fillet for 36p (the girls will have that), a large wedge of parmesan for £1.65 and a kilo of sicilian olives for £2.20. Umm, and 8 of each bakewell and custard tarts.

Those are lovely @hopless500

You don't make christmas crib ones by any chance?

My mum collects them - she must have around 350 different ones by now - and it's always a challenge to find ones she hasn't got...

I bought some reduced ripen at home avocadoes 2 weeks ago. They're still rock hard

Yikes!!!

Fridge or fruit bowl? I know they'll keep up to a month in the veg compartment in the fridge without getting overripe...

They started off in the fridge thinking they were about to go over. They've been out for a week and a half now with no change!

Oh, neat. How much would you charge for such?

That is a very very good idea. They'd flatten anything they were launched at
