My daughter says that when she's reducing the bread it gets quite threatening, she feels like she's being mobbed!

ive given up to shopping instore, i now do it online on a sunday night, with a brew and cake and a lovely man delivers it all into my kitchen on monday morning, much easier than dragging the kids round the shops

what do you think of the chances of said asians having a corner shop? They snap them up at bargain prices then resell them in their corner shops at twice the price?

Why don't the supermarkets simply donate these "near date" foods to women's refuges, homeless shelters and suchlike, to feed those who genuinely cannot afford it? I have lived in a refuge and we used to get daily deliveries from M&S of perishables that were on or near their sell by date. We used to share them out as fairly as we could, with the larger families getting the lions share. If someone did without one day (or got very little), they were first up the next day, to try to make things fair. There was no arguing, because everything was done fair and square.

my sister used to work at a place that made food, one of her jobs was to throw away the left over food at the end of the day, sandwiches, big fancy cakes etc. The rule was, eat what you want, throw the rest, they werent allowed to take any home. I believe oddies does the same, i think giving it to a refuge is a brilliant idea but for some reason they dont?

I have always told Anne when she goes shopping at Tesco to look out for reduced price on meat or fish and usually she comes back with some nice Bass fillets or something like this.
Now she went shopping on Saturday and what did she bring back...........a ruddy octopus no not a small calamari this is a full octopus with 10 inch tentacles how the hell do i cook that ?
