You making a ragu mate?
That was all you needed to type.
My lad loves them. He eats them as a side of any meal if he can haha. Costs me a fortune to supply his addiction. Guessing it’s better than sweets or crack.
That's dedication, what do you have in mind at this time of night... ?
Also, put my house in the market and it sold on the same day. Only 5k below valuation from 2 years ago. Genuinely shocked by how busy the housing market still is. The demand for houses still outweighing the amount of houses on the market am guessing.
Just a shame they're not as readily available. Next time give him a gherkin and tell him times are hard.
People really want themselves a murder shed jako.
Was it for a similar use to putting slices on your eyes? By that I mean the god awful botox job she's had done on her mouth, I'm not sure 100 is going to deal with the swelling...
The murder shed is a property am renting. Was renting out my property in the north west but decided to sell it as the landlord regs coming in this year are ridiculous. Also I’d have to put my rent up to 1250 for a 3 bed semi to cover the costs.
Was in the murder shed today after a long winter not going in. Needs a good clean out that place. Nasty.
The blood spatters and entrails on hooks provide something I hear in the industry is called "character"...
sadly that character is michael myers...
We moved into a turnkey new build March 2020 just as the covid situation was kicking off and then decided to sell as a house we both wanted came on the market unexpectedly.
That house was up for sale when we bought the new build but was bad timing and it was probably out of our reach. The sale fell through twice on that house so when it came up the 3rd time it was the same price as it was in 2020 while our house sold for £36k more than we bought it a year and a half before.
Crazy market.
I don't complain about the price of expensive convenience food either. Because I don't buy it, because there are cheaper alternatives.
One could turn to own brand sauces, for instance, instead of paying over £4 a jar for a pasta sauce bearing a snooty food critic's name.
Absolutely astonishing to see some of the attitudes being displayed here. I thought the point of this thread was to share ideas for saving money?
ah-uh
You've proven not to be so bad, so I'll reply, when someone gets a bit 'judgey' its not unknown for others to do the same. The two 'alright jacks' deserve every penny of the disdain they dish out and more.
Do you not see the questionable value of mocking suggestions of "try cooking it from scratch" and "buy a cheaper own brand version" when they are offered as alternatives to expensive branded convenience foods?
There seems to be a prevailing theme on this specific topic that somehow it is rude to offer ideas for cutting costs relating to food spend, or that cooking from scratch is somehow demeaning.
Framing these suggestions as "judgey" seems downright bizarre to me. Batch cooking a couple of litres of red sauce for pasta takes very little skill and provides a decent saving against all but the cheapest own-brand sauces. You might not want to do it - that's fine, entirely your choice. But the fact remains it's a sensible option - as is the purchase of own brand sauces. Feel free to convince me otherwise.
