Bacon sarnie - a special secret ‘life hack’

[Charmless Man]

It’s labelled cooking bacon, I guess for quiches and pies and stuff coz it’s not uniform shapes and thickness
Same as cooking lager and cooking chocolate

What’s cooking lager? Hear the phrase all the time but I’ve never known anyone cook with lager.

“What’s for tea darling?”

“Roast lamb with a lager jus.”

People use it when making pizza dough.

It’s the zany name given my really funny SMB members for carling/fosters/Heineken

Don't go bacon my heart

I couldn’t if I fried.

Packed with mushrooms you can't tell the difference - and is fantastic tucker.

Hate that term life hack, but I used it anyway so suck it up haters…

I love a bacon sarnie on a morning but jeez the price is ridiculous around £3 for 300gms, a few weeks back I discovered ‘cooking bacon’ it is usually on the bottom shelf of the bacon and you get 1kg for £2 that’s crazy

the bacon is often thick cut chunks and it’s not a ‘pretty’ shape or uniform but it tastes the same

after extensive research Lidl and Aldi seem to do the best ‘cooking bacon’

thank me later

I'll thank you now, not later.

These savings for an inferior shite product are amazing. I can retire now

So the life hack is to just buy the cheapest shite you can find of the product you’re seeking ?

Pretty much. I really like Porsches but bought a Dacia instead as it does the same job but is cheaper.

 

[Scorer]

It will be Dutch or Danish.. I only buy British pork

Far less water and salt added generally

I noticed that some of the Costco pork was American the other day. No way I’m buying that!

 

[houghton cut head]

Make it yourself, it’s a piece of piss. Have made my own for about 4 years now. Use pork loin from Morrisons, which is sometimes as low as £3.50 Kg. But more often these days £4-£5 kg. And it’s ready to rock in about 7-10 days

Yeah but with wine I have the golden rule of not cooking with wine I wouldn’t drink.

With beer batter I’d usually think of using an ale. Might give Stella a go next time.

I am with you on both counts.

Off topic but I had a payday bacon sarnie from Angie’s van in outside the market place in Darlington today. 9/10 those vans do the best bacon imho

My daughter (no) has just gone to uni and while shopping for groceries I mentioned the importance of "eye line is buy line".
She looked quite confused (or it might have been distain), so I explained that the expensive stuff is always in front of your nose, but the cheaper stuff will be higher or lower on the shelves.

As an example, we looked at pasta sauce. As you walk up, Lloyd Grossman has the prime place at £3 a jar.
Underneath was all of the Dolmio range for about £2.75.
Looking down to your feet you see value ranges where a jar is about 85p.
Naturally I let her buy what she wanted as Dad was paying, but when she's on a student budget it always worth remembering not to buy whats in front of your nose and look around.

That has a name, these money saving websites call it "Downshifting". You get the premium range, the branded stuff, the own brands then the value ranges and amazingly if you buy the value ranges you can save money. Who'd have thinked it.
