I always take a sharp knife to Tesco and remove broccoli stalks before weighing. I estimate this simple measure has saved me several hundred pounds over the past ten years.

Then as has been mentioned you really are missing out. Broccoli stalks sliced and fried in butter and garlic are delicious. I always do this when cooking Sunday lunch and serve them as an appetiser. Never once had someone not love them.

Great story, but patently untrue. If you took the skin off, you'd save a lot more than 3p...

just had a banana and out of curiosity weighed it and with skin weighed 126gm without 91 gm so approx 1/4 of the weight was skin.

I once bought some chillies from an Indian cash and carry. I only wanted 5 for a recipe. When I handed them over at the till he gave me a look of disdain and waved me away. Free chillies. Yay.

I cannot be one hundred percent sure on this, but this may very well be the most boring post I have ever read on NSC

Don't, I had a stag doo once in Bournemouth, ended up in a single with no "facilities" so i pissed in the bin, opened the window onto a sloping roof, but lost all my "cleverness" and instead of simply tipping it out threw the whole thing, waking up the whole b n b as the metal bin bounced off said roof

I think Tesco's sell all of their single bananas at a fixed price. If so I suspect the story is untrue which is disappointing.
