I don’t go in often but my mate sent word of a passata bargain so off I trotted
NAPOLINA passata 19p each (it’s a £1 in Tescos)
The Best before date is the end of September but it’s only Best Before, not Use By, so I’m sure they’ll last longer than that and I could always freeze them
I won’t need to though, I’m making different varieties of tomato soup! Then we’ll have my spicy chicken pasta and just plain, mixed with Philadelphia on sphaghetti with some garlic bread……and it’s gone!
They had figs 49p and pears 59p too, so I’m glad I went in

I love Napolina products but they’ve become very expensive so special offers are worth looking out for …

I usually buy that brand, when I make pizza, I just add tomato purée to thicken up, then throw in some herbs, 19p…WOW!!
I’ve been buying Lidl’s one lately, 49p…that chicken pasta sounds interesting, I make chicken pasta bake, with tinned toms and mascarpone cheese.

What’s a Rustlers Cheese Burger? The name says it all, I know.
I’ve seen it/them in Tescos, but never dared.
I guess it’s something like a Gingsters Cornish Pasty, absolute rubbish, the idea offering some comfort, but the reality offering disappointment.
Or maybe they are quite good (?)

Pure junk food d00d, don’t do it!
My sons and husband like them though and there are happy faces when they raid the fridge and find I’ve left one in there for them
Unless you do a George Egg, of course!

That’s true! But they are great for sauces and stews. And they’re good for you

Bloody hell!
Thank you the Guardian…as if I don’t know my Guernsey Tom’s from my plumbs!
I can be handy with a a sprig or two of oregano should the need arise . Just as an aside, don’t skimp on the Malden salt, be lavish with the peppercorns .
What could possibly go wrong?

My favourites do:
Mmmm, look really nice, thank you. I’ve never tried them but I do like Mutti pizza sauce
Yours are quite expensive though. £1.70 a tin on Ocado
I think I’ll get some for special and where you’ll notice them whole, like with pasta
But for sauces where they’d break up anyway, in stews, chillis, soups and currys, I’m sticking with my 25p a tin from Farmfoods!

TBH, I wait until Mutti are on offer - the cherry tomatoes usually drop to £1.05.
With other brands/types there are sometimes too many “green bits” which I discard … but I eat all of a cherry tomato …
