3 white bread rolls (large, almost the size of my hand!)
2 seeded sub rolls
2 large sausage rolls, still warm
1 pasty, still warm
1 jam doughnut.
DD got doughnut as she drove me there.
Rolls into freezer, perfect for filling with leftover turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.
And tonight's tea will be sausage rolls and pasty, with homemade wedges and salad. Perfect.
All means my stocks of food will last a little longer.
If so, not great value.
The bread rolls and seeded sub ones are huge. Much better quality than supermarket rolls.
The sausage rolls and pasty were part of 3 adult meals in the evening, adding only homemade potato wedges and salad which needed to be used up, so I think very good value.

Re: TooGoodToGo
Revisiting TGTG, Got a pretty good haul this time.
This was possibly the best haul I've ever had! Everything in it will get joyously eaten.
There was a good helping of rather good meat. Nothing in bad condition. Pukka Vegan 'Steak' pie
Pork Farms Pork Pie
4 Spring Rolls
180g Cooked chicken
400g Tray of Pork Loin Steaks
Full Retail Price £11.07 Cost £3.09
Lunch Wednesday : Add some bread to make a Chicken Sandwich. Half the Pork pie with a blob of mustard
Lunch Thursday : Vegan Pie
Lunch Friday : More Chicken Sandwiches and 2 spring rolls
Lunch Saturday : 2 spring rolls & half the pork pie
Lunch Sunday : Add an egg and some beans to half the pork steaks.
Lunch Monday : Pork Steak sandwiches.
Even if I switch up those options, I'm getting lunches at less than £1 per day

Re: TooGoodToGo
Kefir is a probiotic drink usually made from milk. Think thin fizzy yoghurt. There is also a water kefir which we make at home. Kefir grains + water +sugar + 2 hours and maybe a bit of dried fruit or lemon makes a DIY fizzy drink.
