Any alternatives? clearance sales after Christmas. If you have kids, an alternative can be to buy a big roll of butcher -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.

By far one of the most useful and money saving devices I've got is my
crockpot. I now eat several meals a week that start as either dry beans, or dry wheat. Both are cheap. Since I'm single, I brew up a pot full of this and that, throw it in the fridge. When I start to get tired of that flavour, the rest goes into old marg. tubs then to the freezer to take to work for lunch. Usually the freezer has 4-5 flavours in it, and lunch is a surprise. -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
