Mad thing for me is with the £400 spread over 6 months and the second cost of living payment due plus hopefully the WMD I for the next few months even with higher energy and cost of living will be better off than I have been for at least 2 years

Asda has brought in a 'ration' on its new Just Essentials range, with customers limited to just three of any given item. Just Essentials was launched earlier this year as a replacement for Smart Price.

The range is made up of low-cost items across hundreds of lines - including tinned essentials, chilled meat, bread and cereals. Demand for the products has been huge and shoppers have complained about items being constantly out of stock both online and in stores.

I had a lasagne and it has about 6 or 7 scrapings of grated cheese on the top and next to no mince . It tasted ok with a bit of extra cheese though

Exactly as my Dad bought some steak a while back and it was unedible.

Waitrose steak it is, then.

In my experience cheap steak has to be medium rare and fried quick or it will be tough

The blacker the better mmmm I used to be a butcher in my teens and where I first worked we used to fry up the first cut off the hind quarters as people just did not know black was good. My fave cut has always been chine rib been eating it for over 35 years. Who knew 30 years later people will catch up hahaha

Another nice cut that I used to be able to pick up real cheap is the Jacobs Ladder that they now call short rib and normally sell it slow roasted in a sauce

I think you need to be selective in what you buy from that range. The tomato soup gets 5/5 and was found to be as good as Heinz but only cost 30p, Heinz being a £ more!

Annoyed that so many supermarkets cut the ladder into individual ribs, normally before it gets to store. You can easily cut them apart but not join back together. I put a strong rub on and then slow smoke on the braai. But the price, like pork belly and other "cheap cuts" are now more expensive, often thanks to celeb chefs showing how to use them on TV. (Costco ribs (devoid of most meat) cost more than belly costs more than shoulder costs more than leg - per kg).
