Shortbread is the easiest thing in the world to make . Any tin with a picture of the Queen on it must cost about 10 times more than making it yourself!

Yes, that’s a very small amount of shortbread, and the tin cost $16US. The one featuring her with a corgi was $21!

Those “highly collectable “ tins that are stacked up to the rafters in every second hand shop and flea market around. I inherited a bunch when we took over my mothers house. I keep my weed in them now.

We’ve got probably 30 or so - if something comes in a decorative tin, MrsT won’t throw it out, no matter how…undecorative it is, like those ones for “Danish” butter cookies that you can buy at the pharmacy for $3. We have ‘em.

I'm kinda like that. I always look and them and think, "hey! This would be perfect for keeping something in" I now need a big container to keep all of my empty, unused containers in..

I´ve just driven the dustmen (translation: garbage collectors) insane, cramming every single bin to the top with all sorts of stuff.
Including, I might add, about 20-30 of those bloody tins you and rocklobster collect. My mum was a member of your group

I actually disagree. My first attempt was a disaster as my shortbread turned a tad bit brown on the bottom making the entire shortbread taste bitter. I have yet to try a second time, but since shortbread are a calorie bomb, I've been postponing that.

This is payback as my wife bought choc ones last week when I wanted these .
I hate choc ones. I've only acquired the taste for these the last 10 years.

New breakfast goodies. Yes, with sugar! It's done me no harm so far to keep cereal in my diet. And I love Disney. I do have enough muesli for a year now lol

The big Lion King tube has fruity muesli ( muesli with dried banana and red fruits) and the other tubes are a mix of fruit & chocolate. So all of them are in my favorite flavor category!
And I got a travel muesli bowl for free with the package.

The Manager's Specials in the meat department at Kroger was very kind to me, today. Brisket/Chuck burgers (brisket for flavor, chuck for fat). Also, some think cut ribeye steaks. I use them for my Chicken Fried Steaks, and they are good for steak and eggs for breakfast. The, a couple of NY Strips with decent marbling. I am dry-aging one in my dorm fridge. Probably a short dry-aging -- less than a week. I'd need a big chunk of meat to go any longer.

I saw this at the our local Greengrocer

I didn't buy any, because I make my own.
Whenever I find Pork Butt on sale for less than $2/pound, I make up a big ole batch, divvy it up and freeze it.
I figure it costs me about 17¢/ounce - huge difference in price
