Re: What have you just bought?
A bunch of meds for our pooch (he’s a 14 year old Dalmatian, with a dicky heart, and who snapped a back leg cruciate ligament about five months ago).
He had his quarterly vet check-up (to check if the drugs are still helping him, no serious side-effects, check if he needs more or can reduce them), so today we paid for the vet’s fee, 3 months worth of Vetimed (for his heart), and three months worth of Gabapentin (300mg).
Ouch…

Re: What have you just bought?
A 2Kg bag of strong white bread flour. After seeing that supermarket bread, even the seeded wholemeal I had been buying, is considered as ultra processed I'm returning to making my own. I have plenty of brown and wholemeal strong flour but was running out of white.
Made the first loaf on Thursday. I'd forgotten how tasty it is.

Problem with homemade bread, nice though it is, is that it goes stale very quickly. That ultra processing does make it last longer.
My breadmaker now is mostly used for making pizza dough, which is a very worthwhile use

Good to hear. I've had the Panasonic for years but never tried the dough settings. Will be giving the pizza dough a try next week now.

Re: What have you just bought?
My Mrs sells Sunday dinners and starts her weekly prep on a Thursday and now gets the meat (chicken, beef and pork) on Fridays. After Miss NTL’s competition I asked her about any deals the warehouse has going and they had a pack of 5kg of chicken (about 22 filets) for £25.
As I need around 230 to 240g of protein a day it was perfect - so I bought it. Proper restaurant quality chicken too, not pumped full of water.
I even destroyed 2 filets for lunch today

Re: What have you just bought?
Proper ScotchBrite cellulose washing-up sponges with a scouring side. The shops only sell plastic foam ones these days. Ones I bought before covid split in half on first use.
24 from ebay for £14.99.
Yes... TWENTY FOUR.....

What's wrong with the 6x washing up sponges from Tesco for 75 pence?
Are these what you bought which maybe cheaper for you?

Re: What have you just bought?
For cleaning the hard stuff like the inside of the glass door of the oven I use that Koh solution with their diamond sponges. Nothing else comes remotely close to how that combination works. Makes cleaning really burnt on grease etc glass oven doors really effortless and takes minutes to make like new.
