Guest Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I was in the local cheapy farm shop today to get some ingredients for yet more chutney! I was looking for goods in jars and bottles that I could recycle. I got cranberry sauce which was 3 for a pound - making the jars slightly cheaper than buying new in Lakeland - I might even find something to do with the cranberry sauce (add it to something else for an interesting jelly maybe??) I also got little 60ml bottles of olive oil at three for a pound - tiny tipple bottles to pop some of my home made spirits in and I can used the olive oil which I have decanted into my oil bottle. I also bought cider vinegar in 250ml bottles rather than buying a bigger bottle as again I can use the bottles. I'm thinking of going back to do a deal on a case of the cranberry sauce - they had about a million jars and they were very dirty on top like they haven't been selling. I reckon they would do an even better price if I offered to buy in bulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Pengy, Morrison's do vegetables in jars. Petit Pois, carrots, french beans. All 39p / 35p a jar. Washed out, they are perfect for jam! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 And our "friend" Mr Tesco is selling the most vile mint sauce in small jars at 9p each - believe me you do not feel guilty about dumping the contents straight in the toilet!! May just take a wander over to the food barn in Barnham to see what they have on offer... Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
