Gotta love them for their $5.00 deals that are on at the moment....Lots of good buys for 5.00 but best of all are the no9 Inghams frozen chickens...I got 10 of them...Thaw in fridge, chop down the middle and spatch cook with butter herbs etc for a magic meal for two and maybe one small child....few roasty spuds, kumura and pumpkin and some peas and gravy on the side...Easy, simple, economic delicious roast meal...

Yep, spot on fisher. I prefer the no9 Inghams as the larger ones tend to be injected with that white slim they call tender basting.

chickens were cheaper last week at Palmy P"N"Save Only $4!. Bought a heap on Saturday. Brilliant! Stocked up on other specials today tho, as budget allowed. $5 week is good....

Sorry to say that I do not buy Inghams since they said very openly that they cannot give a sh*t about peoples worries about them feeding the cheap GE'd corn to their chickens (as no-one in Europe buys the cr@p it is very very cheap) - so it has been my own of course and if I eat in town I ask ...
Inghams are having specials all the time now because the other chicken growers have their chickens bought up in no time flat ... because they said they will not feed GE corn ...
So yeah - you will not grow two heads I am sure - but how this will affect children who knows? We are all in for a huge experiment ...

I brought boneless & skinless chicken breasts yesterday form Pak n Save $12.49 per kg. 3 x packs of cruskits for $5. I hadn't thought about spatching the whole chickens but figured i could roast 2 side by side and have a meal and some sandwiches for the troops.
sometime our local countdown has boneless chicken breast on sale in the deli for $6 a kilo. i buy up heaps when i can get it for that price!!

Spatching - do you cut down the middle of the breast bone and fold out? Sort of road kill style?

Yes, they can be dry. Much better to roast them whole, they take up less room in the pan as well.

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.

Darn~! I never thought of spatching fisher ~ I bought only the one $5 chook and put it in the crockpot and roasted it, meanwhile I roasted a whole cauliflower and then turned them into a delicious soup for the family (with garlic pita bread mmm!)

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.
