Looking At Food Near It's Sell By Date In The Supermarket...
I have just spent almost £5 that I had not planned to 
but for that I got £12 of diced pork(each tray was 380g)and ham on the bone worth £7.12. So I am determined to squeeze that pork into the freezer and I should get a few meals out of that...
and if I get the pork into the freezer I can ignore the date...the ham is officially ok until the 27th but if there is any remaining I will use it the 28th perhaps make some salad sandwiches...get a portion of chips from the fish shop I now know of in Durham City...I know where there is a sheltered seat...I will eat my little meal and then make my way to the theatre for my concert with the 60's pop group The Searchers...
Originally there was nothing worth buying but whilst I was there the ham was put out and then by chance I saw them checking the meat area and by waiting I timed it as they put the reduced priced pork out!
So for £4.78 I have almost £20's worth of meat!
Needs must!

nice written
Thank you :o)
I tried to get it into my freezer and convinced myself it wouldn't work...I asked neighbours if they would help me out(as I would them)and store it in their freezer.
One said that her freezer was full, the other said that her freezer was on the blink and they need a new one...
It took ages but I managed to moved into smaller portions and use many freezer bags.
So all I need for quite some is bread and milk. Possibly fresh fruit
To be fair to your neighbours.....if they asked you to help, you would not have been able to for the same reason as them. Your freezer is full. They will probably be doing the same as you and filling theirs with cheap stuff.
I wouldn't dream of asking a neighbour to store food just because I'd over bought. Different if a freezer breaks down, then it's all hands to the deck and we all do the best we can.
People do it all the time but I accepted that they were unable to. could not. I have done it for neighbours in the past.
I would not have left it there for weeks either. A couple of days.
I have given food away rather than waste it!
If I can remain close to the shops and only buy what I need, I can buy a meal daily and think of the supermarket as being my own personal freezer.
At least to some extent I am bothering and trying to have a varied diet.
Stir fry with many good vegetables with mackerel fillets yesterday and a lovely casserole/stew the night before.
