Well rigs,, when Doc told me I could only eat sweet breads twice a year,, I gave away about 7 kilos, the only way I could by my sweet breads was getting 10 kilos at a time (sniff sniff) and I had just stocked up.. I was very lucky my father and mother bought me a medium size freezer as a birthday present about 20 years ago.. I would easily hold 500 kilograms of meat no problem so I found I could by in bulk and make it through to the next sale.. had a lot of chicken leg BBQ's at 14 Cents a pound.. The local supermarket manger became a friend and to make sure he had enough for the sales he called me when he was ordering to see if I wanted some.. also knew the food bank manager so on occasion we would buy together.. He was a good sport and helped a great deal with my food budget. Nothing was ever wasted. Allan
