Sometimes, I go to look for reductions, and come back with a pot of hummous and colslaw and having spent £5 on petrol. But every so often, it pays off:

I got lots of veg and froze on monday. But it has been weeks since I got meat. And ive never got it this cheap before! so very, very, very happy right now! :) I had to do a major re-shuffle of my freezer, but i'm so happy with my £10 spend.
I had a budget of £20 for this week, I have £5 left for the rest of the week, as I have been trying to make an effort to shop for reductions.
The only thing is, it is SO stressful! Seriously, there were people swearing, shoving and grabbing, one guy literally snatched a pack of mince out of my hands after the guy reduced it for me. You have to have nerves of steel and accept the fact that most people are going to be very aggresive :(
But, today at least, it was worth it! :) Came away with lots of bargains to feed my family for the week and beyond.
I made a treacle tart for the first time! :)
Whizzed up all the hot dog buns that were going off into bredcrumbs:
Line a pie dish with shortcrush pastry:
Blind bake for 10 mins
Heat up 300g golden syrup, 50g black treacle in a saucepan
Add 150g breadcrumbs, juice and zest of 1 lemon, and about 2 tsp grated ginger, a shake of salt.
Mix in breadcrumbs once melted and add to your pastry case. Bake for half an hour.
Also, parnip, thyme and parmasen loaf turned out HUGE:
Smells kinda fruity and herby. Cant wait to try it! :)
