As much as it grieves me to post this:
Tesc* (ours at least) - McLelland seriously strong cheddar. (It's good stuff). Buy one get TWO free - so it's £4.29 for three packs.
Offer is only on today and tomorrow, limit of 6 per customer.
May go for a second trip!
-
mmmm cheese - cheers for that DD, may have to make a few trips :D
-
Ta muchly.
I'm going there after lunch so will be buying ---- cheese!!! :D
-
mm..mm :) my fav cheese...guess where I'm off to later ;)
-
It was going quick, I expect it's limited stock and I can't promise that it's a nationwide offer.
-
There are a couple of stalls at Devizes (no I haven't seen her yet) Market on a Thursday that have "Three cheeses for a quid" offers. The cheeses are just the right size for a couple and none left to grow 'stuff' in the fridge. Cheers, Tony.
-
I'll just pop on down there, then!
-
The offer is online so should be nationwide :)
It'll sellout like hot cakes though ;)
-
Much as it grieves me to shop at trashco I'm going to get some at that price. Keeps well in the freezer, just a bit more crumbly when it's defrosted.
-
Me, I'm off to Devizes.
It's only a 250 mile round trip!
-
Ooo, I love cheese.....she says while polishing off the rest of last nights home made cheese and onion pie with a dollop of Guinness HP sauce ;)
-
with a dollop of Guinness HP sauce ;)
Ooh now! Isn't that just brilliant stuff? :D On the cheese front, I won't make it to Tesco in time but have a fridge full already... :wub: :nowink:
-
Got some last week - just finishing off what's in the fridge so we can get to grips with it!
-
with a dollop of Guinness HP sauce ;)

I have it with EVERYTHING! .... I use it on sandwiches instead of branston and it's great squirted in gravy
-
I ordered some yesterday.
Not to promote te*cos but the pork shoulder at 2.50/Kg has to be worth a gamble !
-
If you see her D.D. tell me if it's true ! ! ! :ohmy: Cheers, Tony.
-
Tescos is the only majour supermarket we dont have here in wakefield ::) :(
-
Tis flying out! I didn't need any as I went to Nantwich show on Wednesday and bought a bit of this and a bit of that....my cheese box is full to bursting! :lol: Sods law!

It says it makes a good marinade for beef and pork too. I can vouch for the pork and its great on chicken! And in bacon sandwiches, of course. :)

Drat, bought some last week to send up to Scotland with husband for youngest daughter to enjoy and it was only BOGOF. I feel cheated. >:(
Will have to buy some for myself this time.
Before anyone asks, no he didn't just go to Scotland to take the cheese. :tongue2: :lol:
-
I had a cheese issue the other day when I had cheese on toast with extra mature cheddar. It slid right off the toast and into the grill pan. I was gutted :mad: I blame the EU
-
:mad: I blame the EU
They deserve to be blamed for most things ::)

Quite right. :) We can buy it here as implied by my earlier post. :D

I've never frozen cheese before, do you only freeze if its grated?
-
My Mum used to freeze it in blocks. As Ice says, the consistency/texture changes a bit.
-
12 just gone in the freezer, just simply had to pop in on the way to and back from the plot.

I've frozen blocks of cheese in the past, when they've been defrosted the texture hasn't been right making it difficult to slice, I would grate it before freezing.
-
I was watching our local 'celebrity' chef on tv the other night. He made pea soup and popped in an odd bit of dried up cheese. I must try that, yet another idea for the odd leftovers.
-
parmesan rinds are very good used in this way in soups and casseroles, just freeze them when you get to the end of the wedge. Then they are handy when you need them :)
-
thanks DD just popped into the local shop and got 6 - may nip out later and see if there are any left :)

You don't expect my other half to do shopping do you?!! He had about half a van load to take up with him. :lol: Not all cheese though. ::)
:D
-
Thanks DD; was already going to Tessgo but wouldn't have looked out for it as I bought 2 last week on the BOGOF deal ( :mad:) so it's 3 for the freezer (never tried that before!)
An additional bonus was seeing Sheffield athlete Jessica Ennis poddling around with her trolley. I'd like to say she was as grumpy as hell and was bulk-buying cheap spirits and burgers but the contents of her trolley all looked very healthy and she also posed charmingly for a mum and her two kids who had spotted the poor girl.) :)
-
Well worth the visit, cheese and and Jessica Ennis, a good trip in my books :D Does she live near you then?

I suppose she must do Jamie (I don't want you to get too excited but I forgot to mention that her jeans seemed to have been sprayed on!) :lol:
-
Excited? :lol: :lol: :lol:
It must have been wiered though, seeing a gold medal winner in the supermarket :)
-

Not as weird as if Usain Bolt had been in there (but she's definitely better looking!) :)
-
Thats true, but i think its rather unlikely that ussain bolt shops in sheffield, but then again, stranger things have happend :lol:
And your not wrong there, she is better looking :D :D

When I went to my local Tesco on Friday, I looked out for this but all I saw was that there seemed to be an unusually large amount of that particular cheese on the shelves at normal price. Perhaps its not so popular here. :unsure: Or perhaps the seemingly permanent "offer" of buy 2 x 500 gm own brand mature cheddar for £5 is more appealing. ::)
-
the offer was only open for the 1st & 2nd Argyllie :(
-
I appreciate that, but I was surprised that there seemed to be an unusually large amount of that cheese on the shelves, as though they had brought a load in for the offer which then didn't take off here. ::)
-
I also had it in the back of my mind that they might be running the offer on a different timescale here. ::)
-
They'll just re-run the offer if the cheese hangs about too long ::) Gotta sell it somehow :lol:
-
True! :D
