A recent unbeatable bargain at Heron: Herdez Taco kits (Soft tortillas, taco seasoning & a big jar of salsa,) currently on sale at Tesco for £3.29, at Morrisons for £3.99 or at Sainsbury for £4 - on sale at Heron for 79p. You can't even buy a jar of salsa for that price elsewhere: At Morrisons, the salsa alone costs £2.65 and the seasoning mix costs 80p!

My mother in law recently gave me some silken tofu as she didn't want it. What is an easy recipe or how do I use it in a meal. I've never tried it but thought I know who can help, family freedom.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey Lindsay, thanks for your comment 👍 We'd say scramble tofu on toast would be great for that silken tofu 😋 Drain it, crumble it into a pan and fry with some salt and pepper, and if you have it, some turmeric for the yellowness and flavour. Also, if you have black salt/kala namak, that can give it a sulphuric/eggy taste

Hello Katie, Bob and Jojo. I love watching you go to all the different shops to try and get your weekly shop for £30. I was just wondering if, while you were there, especially at shops that are a long way from home, you do the weekly shop then off camera stock up on any really good deals, the to good to leave there, or as I say, "it would be rude not to". I think I would if I could. I am unable to get out and about now, due to ill health, so I love watching people like you, to see just what is out there. Much love and respect from Jo, live but not live, in the South East of jolly old England. xxx ❤❤❤
