Ok that was a successful evening :D
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 :D Noone moan about '3rd world kiddies would love this you greedy overweight s go die :mad: '. 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 :D Will mean no shopping for a few months :) |

| One should always be suspect of discount meat. |

| 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. |
