A Year of Thrift and cooking at home.

When at the local indoor market this weekend, we bought our meat from the loveliest friendly butchers. They all have a wealth of knowledge and have now gotten to know as regular customers of theirs. 

This week we bought 1lb of Ox Tail for the very reasonable price of £2.00. The butcher seemed surprised when we asked for it. 

I'm guessing very few people cook with it these days but makes such a hearty and warming meal, it's well worth giving it a go. 

Everything we purchase from them is so much better quality than the Supermarkets and I feel a great sence of pride knowing I'm buying local meat from local butchers. 

And the best part, they have suggestions for money saving meal ideas!
