Please to say I checked and we do at least recycle all food waste, turning it either into fuel or animal feed.
Fresh bread is the biggest problem. It only lasts two days, and there is pressure on the bakers to make sure we have some from each variety...and we do a lot of different bread, into the evening, when we have very few customers, but could have a check from the region to see we have them on sale. Most of the other reduced stuff gets snaffled by our regular bargain hunters. |

In the 1986/87, a Spar shop in Downham, Kent, used to put out of date food on the shelf at huge discounts. I would assume that's against the law now. One day out of date cakes, for 10p.
I only went in on Sunday mornings as they never opened early enough during the week for me. I used to get a bag full for a pound.  |

I think it's still legal but needs to be best before rather than 'use by' date. B&M sell 'dated' stock quite a lot.

Yes, I was in a shop in Stoke town last week where they were selling Knorr Stock Pots at about half their normal retail price - but they did say on the shelf sticker "Best before date November 2014"
Massive saving for something which did not matter at all. |

Can't remember what the name of the shop is, Sparky, but it's well worth exploring. All sorts of stuff at 'Stoke prices'!

If it's the one in the former Woolworths it's a PoundShop. Of course you won't know it as the former Woolworth's, you will know it as Barnaby's Emporium Of Delights or something.

hahahaha! Probably!
It's not called a 'Poundshop' though - it's called something like 'Stoke Bargains'. They don't have any baskets, and there's about two trolleys knocking about - at various, abandoned, spots - so you have to just hold everything in your hands and chuck it on the counter - but they are cheap! |

Is eating porridge every day really cheaper than a box coco pops from the pound shop?
Is arsing about making an unsatisfying soup cheaper than a £1 frozen pizza from Iceland? Soup and porridge? Isn't that the rations they were on in I'm a celeb? I think most benefit recipients know the most cost efficient way to eat is to buy a big freezer! |

By:
Yes, vastly. Porridge costs about 10p.
No, making a nice soup for less money than some aweful **** from Iceland. No idea, but I am pretty sure there were some kangaroo bollocks in there. Still taste better than a one pound pizza. No it isn't, unless you just can't be arsed. |

Should they bake their own bread or buy a 50p loaf?
Cooking from fresh isn't all its cracked up to be, financially anyway. |
|
By:
True.

Recently saw this picture online. Looks like she's left an 'A' out by mistake

I had to switch to the Beta forum to see that.
It was worth it. |
