Smuggling corned beef

[rosalan]

I may have found a profit loophole if Brexit goes away. In Spain on a sincere search for Corned Beef, which I enjoy with my Cornflakes for breakfast. It came to my notice that if I buy it in the UK at Family Blowouts my purse forks out about £1. At shops in Spain the same tin costs £4 FOUR POUNDS! So if I stock up with a hundred tins and can encourage the same shops to stock up for a couple of seasons.........

[tonka]

Teabags are lighter to transport
Good profit margin as well..

take corned beef and bring back mortadela .. its like a spicy spam but nicer.
there really are lots of food cheaper in uk than spain. tinned sardines alot cheaper in uk.
yes some you can live with out but nice chedder cheese etc better in uk,cathedral city rules .
we say after several years going to spain if going for the winter take about 200 quids worth of things you save 20 quid .
but dont save it ,,buy cheap spanish wine and you get about a 100quid of uk priced spanish wine free.
cone noble is about 4.50 quid a litre in lidl in uk .
its only a game but good fun playing it.
tinned potatoes as well much cheaper in uk or were ,price going up in uk these days.

1.Really

used to express interest, surprise, or doubt.

"‘I've been working hard.’ ‘Really?’"
synonyms: is that so, is that a fact, well I never, well I never did;
go on, you don't say;
i
"‘Apparently they've split up.’ ‘Really?’"

It's got round to April very fast, hasn't it ?

As in cornflakes with corned beef.
Dont bother picking a fight on here with me, full of sherry, makes me mellow.
Try winding someone up on the shoulda woulda coulda thread.

Mmmmmm, Marmite - Truly the work of the Gods, how else could it taste so good?

Getting consensus on this one could be harder than getting consensus on the "B-Word"!

A new combination. Sounds yum!

I've got some Marmite so tomorrow it's off to Waitrose for the sprouts.

Man up and use Bovril not the mamby-pamby poor man's veggie alternative.

Try marmite and tinned sardines on toast for a culinary delight.

started seeing bottled conde noble in your local lidl,s only a couple of years ago.
i dont buy it . i do bring one or two back from spain though ,but not in bottles.
been traveling abroad from being a kid in the early 60,s .
used to bring alsorts of foreign food back over the years . but now i really dont bring much at all.
there are a few things i take . specially our style bacon , or our gammon style joints .
either slice the joints for steaks , or boil the joint ,or roast the joint etc .
chedder cheese abroad in eu is alot. daft as so much of ours really comes from newzealand .
some times in uk moroccan tinned sardines are cheaper than in maroc. i used to take them to friends in maroc as a laugh. some of their family worked in the tinning plants and actually had tinned some of them.
34p here in asda ,little more in lidl . but look at the price of sardines in a spanish lidl.
these days though alot of veg etc is cheaper in uk and better quality than in spain.
you just have to find what you like or want to eat.

Bleurgh, Bovril - not a patch on the sublime Marmite. Don't even mention Vegemite, a pale imitation of the real thing........

A few years ago Marmite released a new version called Marmite XO - standing for eXtra Old. It was gorgeous - even better than standard Marmite, smoother in taste, stronger & more savoury but less salty. Sadly, not only did they stop making it after a while, as I came to my last jar and picked it up to open it for the very first time, I dropped it .....

That is cheap Corned Beef,,nearly double that in our Lidl,Aldi and B & M,,Think £1.80 is the best i have seen,,Mind you thats half the price of Spain but with brandy at 7 euros and gin at 4.50 euros a bottle it leaves me plenty of spare cash for food,,BUSBY

May I offer a genuine delight. Messing about with a chocolate fountain I tried dipping in a pickled onion which to my lasting surprise was delicious.
