@NC12345665 I'm sorry if it read that way. It isn't easy to get across my meaning in written words - all I mean is I would rather anything else than dementia having just seen my mum die from it
I'm now absolutely petrified of getting it. Of course I would rather have neither but my risk of bowel cancer is tiny compared with dementia

I mean it's a ridiculous thread anyway when most people just put some ham on a sandwich and eat the bloody thing because they don't have the money/headspace to worry about nitrates when you're trying to balance the cost of living and feeding a family

£135?

@takeitandleaveit I'd make it gin after this thread and some of the mean replies. I don't understand what some pp get out of being so obnoxious 🤷🏻‍♀️ they must live a sad life.

Enjoy!

Oh, just saw your answer, that was pretty reasonable.

I made Greek Gigantes last week. (Basically Greek style baked beans). I used the large Greek dried butter beans which turned out to be £6 a bag, it was a total faff, used loads of cooker- electricity, and they weren’t as nice as the Lidl Greek Week tins.

You could have the melon and gin together. Tropical fruit punch.

No, it was more than a food top-up really. It was a storecupboard stock-up of things as well - plus we needed non-food items too. Hence the loo rolls, bleach etc.

You don't really have a pot of boiling water for rice.

80mls of cold water and that willhave all evaporated by the time the rice will have cooked!!

DM, very keen on cooking everything from scratch, did when I was a teen. Once. Then declared that it was pointless given the price of backed beans!

£155

Only read the first post so you've probably confirmed by now but I want to guess first £175

@darisdet Just checked Sainsburys and it came to £103.63, so around £22 more. I'm actually surprised it wasn't higher.

One can of tomatoes, mushy peas and kidney beans is a store cupboard stock up? We get through 3 cans of kidney beans a week just for our dogs.

I have very small cupboards😎

'One can of tomatoes, mushy peas and kidney beans is a store cupboard stock up? We get through 3 cans of kidney beans a week just for our dogs.'

I get through zero cans of kidney beans a week. It all evens out!

£200 ish

I shop in marksies and that would be about £155-£165

Thanks!

Have you been in Lidl recently.its just been their Greek week.ive seen the tins.i think that week has just swapped( here done on thursday) but there's certainly still some left on shelves.just in case lidl all stock the same theme weeks and u wanted to go have a look.i was eye g the pastries!

i like frozen green beans, in a curry, they are great

i like the gigantis beans, i use a tin of butter beans, tin of tomatoes, basil, cinnamon, recipe i think from jack munroe

25 miles to my nearest one, so I'll be giving that a miss.

family up north think it's great though!

£162 is my guess before I see if you have posted the answer yet!

My guess was almost double!
