how is this credit crunch affecting others? it has serioulsy changed my shopping habits and i am now trying not to waste so much food. I have really cut down to the basic brands and i find these just as good as any of the higher price brands. Hubby cant give up smoking so he is rollling his own ( i wish he could but thats another story). We just have to scrimp and save every penny now.

Thu 25 Sep 2008 15:52It is the same here. I am discovering one million and one ways to use a bag of mince and one of them is to use half a bag per meal not a whole bag of mince. If things continue the way they do and I can see they will I am going to be replacing mince dishes with grated carrots and potatoes with onions.
Am sure if they are well seasoned no one will notice or will they?

Thu 25 Sep 2008 15:53Ha Ha, i think i have spoke to soon. I have just finished cooking a salmom bake and it has completely curdeled!!! its revolting !! i didnt let the parsely sauce thicken up enough before pouring it all over the salmom (tinned salmon. would of been mighty p***ed off if it was fresh) and cooking it. It would make them all ill if they eat it!! So now i have got to throw it away
and cook something else !!!

Thu 25 Sep 2008 17:05I was reading one of those articles the other day about beating the credit crunch where the advice was to drop down a brand in supermarket range & you would be amazed at how much you can save? Well all I can say is if you're already on value stuff where do you go..... rooting round the bins outside perhaps ??!!
