Thread: Tip Of The Day

Not sure if it's news to anyone else as I haven't been to aldi for ages, but they are selling 500g cartons of passata for 29p each. Looks like it's a new product not an offer as well.

You could even take it to work with you and dig in when you're peckish! I find it helps stop me reaching for syn treats!

I do the same with salad too and keep it in the fridge. Much easier when you're short of time or can't be bothered to stand in the kitchen for ages!

How long do you find your fruit and salad keeps fresh for when you do this?

i do this but i dont put berries in, each time i get a bowl i just put a few berries in - i find the berries go off v quickly - i mailnly do 2 types of melon, grapes, satsumas and kiwi then raspberries added and i do it to last 3 or 4 days any longer and the fruit starts to turn xx

what a fabulous thread, so useful!

I'm loving this thread.

My tip is I make a free tomato soup for my weekday lunches ,stored in Tupperware bowl in fridge. Stops me having to think about lunches and it's cheap!

"I might..." just isn't good enough...
"I will..." is getting better...
"I am..." is the way to go.

Don't ponder it, do it!!

Or to quote Yoda... "Do, or do not. There is no try!"
