Poundland in High Wycombe do Plumrose Luncheon Meat/Bacon Grill (obviously) at a £1 per 250g tin. I can't find cheaper anywhere although Tesco did the larger Princes brand, but not always available and more expensive per 100g....
Only the basic stuff, but easy to flavour at home.

I did ask at Waitrose if they sold these products and although the chap just said "No, we don't I'm afraid" I could almost hear him dying to say "CERTAINLY NOT, we are Waitrose, after all"

Ha ha ha....hurpldy is not on Google either but I know precisely what that means .

Isn't Tosl that German bloke The Gooners signed ?

Waitrose do tinned sardines with whole chillies in and also some with sliced lemon in. No bones and virtually no skin. Lovely, and very good for you too. :thumbs:

Well, I am back to work tomorrow so it will be Sainsburys now as there are no Waitrose shops in Aberdeen, or at least none that I have seen.

There is a large Sainsburys at Garthdee which is on my way back to my place up there and they do seem to have a good selection of fresh vegetables.

Nobody else eats them in Scotland, Peter - but I bet you won't find a Mars Bar....

Vegetables? In Scotland? Whatever next - devolution? mg:

British politician says that Waitrose shoppers (in the Witney branch, at least) are more "talkative and engaged", that quick shopping trips to the store can become quite lengthy and almost a social occasion.

‘Stuck-up’ David Cameron heaps praise on Waitrose's ‘better class of shopper’ - UK Politics - UK - The Independent

Lidl and Aldi, I have heard recently, continue their relentless discount olive oil and parmesan European invasion.

Rod Stewart has been seen in Costcutter, I see - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...r-botched-gunpoint-robbery-at-Costcutter.html

I dunno....

I just got back from Waitrose after an early morning shopping trip.

At 09:00 you could park anywhere you liked and not too long at the check out either.

Got a very nice looking piece of aged Beef Rib for Sunday and a couple of Goose Eggs as well . . . . .
