Ordinarily I don't buy fresh herbs; I tend to make do with what grows in the garden. Unfortunately it's lemon balm which thrives in our garden and it departs a rather odd Thai like flavor to our traditional roast veggies. Anyway, when you can pick up a bag of fresh mint for 10p I'm in the market.
Water with sprig of my 10p mint and a slice of a 10p lime.
Courgettes down to 30p, sauteed with a few sprigs of bargain mint.
Surplus mint now drying on the pan rack.
I even went so far as to splash out 30p on reduced fresh redcurrants to spice up an otherwise mundane apple crumble.
It doesn't happen anywhere near often enough, but I do so love it when I find the man with the ticket gun on his final round of the day. It doesn't exactly erase the extravagances but it gives a bit of balance if nothing else!

I bought some marked down mint a few weeks ago and popped it in a glass of water on the kitchen windowsill. It rooted so I've now popped it in a pot in the garden...thankyou supermarket...6 new plants for 10p:-) can't be bad
Oh, why didn't I think of that! I'll try that next time I spot herbs marked down. Thanks for the tip.
I follow the man with the gun 'round Sainsburys. 8pm is a fab time to shop!!!
I used to do it every week at the big Tesco but then the gun man got all ar$ey about people following him (I wasn't his only follower!) was nice to just nip in to Asda the other day and find I was I right on time.
