Xmas food stash thread

Ok that was a successful evening

If I learnt anything back in my M&S days, it was that shops throw out a colossal amount of food on Christmas Eve. All food with Best Before/Useby dates of the 24th, 25th and 26th Dec HAVE to be thrown out. Some shops around here slash prices instead to get rid of it.

Today was a good haul. We went there specifically for this (and so did other people). With 30 minutes until shop closing, fresh turkeys priced at �49 were sold for �10. Lots of meat was slashed in price, the entire of the deli section was sold off cheap.

Overall we worked out we got �350 worth of food for �75. That includes 4 turkeys (we'll eat one, give one or two away to neighbours and freeze the rest), lots of meat including round roast, rib roast, lamb racks and spiced beef (�1). There were rashers, sausages, mince, a whole crate full of organic veg (�3.99), bread rolls and loads of other stuff.

Heres pics of the stash. �75 for ALL THIS.

A bit of a disclaimer Noone moan about '3rd world kiddies would love this you greedy overweight fucks go die '. 95% of what we bought is freezable, so it will be put in the freezer for a few months. This food would have been thrown out at the shop anyway. I guarantee that almost none of this food will be wasted.

Kind of a nice Christmas present Will mean no shopping for a few months

One should always be suspect of discount meat.

Posted by THE_Chris on Dec-24-2007 22:48:

Nah its perfectly good, only reason its discounted is because of bestbefore/useby dates, which are absolute rubbish. It'll be fine for days, and since most of it will be frozen it'll be fine in a few months time.

Famous last words imo.

holy shit, I hadn't thought of that. I love m&s food. Their platters of ham & beef are to die for, their chicken is good and I love their pork medalions with braeburn apple & sage stuffing!

M&S dont really sell cheap food unfortunatly, they prefer to throw it all out instead This was done at Dunnes Stores, a stereotypically Oirish store.

M&S food for the fucking win though their Chinese takeaways are insane.

ohhh lol i read it as m&s and yeah, i love their food. Stupid to throw it out though
