Sausage and egg McMuffins from McDonald's sell for around £4.50 or so. We don't get them often but when we do we REALLY enjoy them! ;) Unfortunatly current budget means they are well out of bounds. But, guess what lidls half price offer was this weekend:
SAUSAGES!!! Decent 75-80% meat sausages for 79p per pack of 8!
We filled the freezer with 12 packs ;)
This morning I woke up with a lot of pain and slobbed out on the sofa feeling sorry for myself. Hubby asked if I fancied a home-made McMuffin. They were awesome! He even cut open the sausages to make little patties out of them! And we ate them so fast I didnt have chance to take a picture, lol.
We priced it up and came up at 38p per McMuffin. Which is a ridiculous saving on the McDonalds version.
Sausage - 10p each (we used 4, 1 each, half a pack)
Egg - 10p (value ones are around 10p an egg, mine were some free range ones my mum picked up for me reduced)
Muffins - 10p (40p pack of 4 from aldi)
Cheese slice 8p? (yes the gross plastic cheese that tastes amazing! 80p pack of 10 lidl)
So around 38p each for a special breakfast! :) Still have half a pack in the fridge which I may make into a sausage and bean casserole to serve with pasta, or I might be really lavish and chop them into stuffing mix for an extra special roast dinner! This is how I afford to feed us varied food on a budget. When something is on special offer or reduced, buy as much as you can afford/store! Lidl tend to have sausages half price around every 3 month of so. 12 packs is enough for at least 1 sausage based meal per week for the next 3 months until the offer comes around again (hopefully!) Great timing too because we were down to our last pack from the last half price sausage offer, lol. Bring on the sausage recipes ;) Xx
