We picked up a pile ofwhole Italian tomatoes, 7 cans for $5.00. We go through a lot of tomatoes, I froze some but really for that price, I won't freeze any next year. I will go spend another $20.00 just on tomatoes.

Yup I got a lot of tomatoes as well. like you I have heaps of frozen tomatoes and I pick the best unblemished ones to freeze.Prob is we grow so many they come on so fast, freezing is the only thing you can do after all the mega loads of various sauces etc are made.

tinned tomatoes are awesome for all sorts of things.
I also won't buy the Ingams or tegal etc I prefer to pay a bit more for the Turksbecause of the huge flavour difference.
Our local PnS has good meat specials for sure rarely many other specials though well priced generally anyway.

Watch the Bay Harvest juice!!!In very small letters on the back it says it must be consumed in 4 days. Not easy for a small family to get through 3 L of orange juice in 4 days especially in todays economic climate where you hope it will last the week.

Now please do not misunderstand me. I am pleased that you are all able to buy whole chickens at $5 a piece. When I was growing up you either grew, killed and plucked your own or went without. Chicken was a rare treat indeed.
For my part I still quite like my chicken to sort of taste like chicken.

hmmm I don't know Fisher.Grills tend to be quite hot so could potentially dry the chicken out? unless we slather it in gorgeous herbed butter and oil~!

and having been to New World today and bought quite a bit of rump steak as it was on special at $10.99 compared to Countdown where it was $13.99kg, I just saw an ad on tv for a weekend special at Countdown - rump steak $9.99kg.Honestly, you just can't win.I wouldn't mind but the New World is 33km away, so have to take the diesel and road user charges into consideration, but I guess I would have been more annoyed if I'd stocked up at $13.99kg today when I could have waited till the weekend.

hmm I did a PnS shop today, hate going there but when money's tight. Got 6 meat meals for under $5 each which is great. Still spent way too much but besides the chicken which I'll strtch to 2 meals (small though it is), I picked up some beef I can stew enough for 2 meals for about $7 and sausages and 8 pack for about $5 as well. With just 2 of us it was well worth the trip this time. Also got the Bay Harvest Juice. Did my usual list and wrote down the Countdown and New World equavilants and shopped to that so was a good saving all round.
