cheesey wotsits
Roast Shoulder of Pork. Delicious and Cheap.
a free guitar 😀 (if the delivery company actually finally deliver it 🙁
Welsh Ride Thing. (DIY Epic for £20 and even that goes straight to Charity)
Cornflour + water. Makes brilliant silly putty
I see your single OS map, and raise it to £20 for a years sub to OS Getamap. Except it cost nothing apart from some supermarket-spy-on-your-shopping-points.
Just got it, so hopefully will be able to create the next 10years worth of riding maps this year.
15p??!?!?
I remember when they were 10p.
The Boardman range, and the Voodoo Bazinga.
There are salt and vinegar Space Raiders? 😯 When did that happen?
Going to get flamed by the STW coffee massive - but Lidl Bellarom espresso coffee is pretty good n' cheap.

you didn't get the memo? Marathon Bars are called 'Snickers' now too. I won't tell you about Opel Fruits until you've had a chance to sit down and compose yourself.
Tesco everyday value baby shampoo. 49p a 500ml bottle, I use it as shower gel.
Aldi signature coffee or whatever they call is good too.
Aldi, winter gloves.
H P Sauce
Shimano deore
Tea bags
English Heritage membership
Aldi beer
Bic pens
Gaffer tape
Quorn balls
Adidas Samba

Good tip. Its all the same anyway.
keep meaning to check this out.Aldi beer
Baked Beans - and they give a chance for reheat during the winter too.
Lidl Crownfield cereal bars, all the nutrition I need on a ride, work out about 20p each.
STW Forum !!!!!
Awe c'mon, someone had to mention it.. 😆

Entry to the Parliament Hill Fields Lido evening lane swimming session, £2.50. Off there after work tonight

Fish and chips is cheap? Not where I live (a land-locked country in the middle of Europe)
This is Mills Observatory. It's an open to the public, free to enter observatory. A council run observatory. Brilliant.

This is the confluence of the rivers Ericht and Isla. I have a fly fishing license that allows me to fly fish on 6 miles of the Isla's banks. It costs £20 a year, which is exceptional, and just as well seeing as I'm such a rubbish fisherman.

And this, given how much the licence costs

Fish and Chips? Cheap? Where?
Oh. I can get a train or bus anywhere in the country for half a day for 2 euros. Even if that's multiple trips in that half day
How much is cod and chips at your local?

Spotify.
Keeps me blissfully unaware of the mayhem when the kids get home from school.
Probably the only down side to working from home.... 🙂
Fish is expensive but the chippy down the road from work does sausage, chips, mushy peas and a can of pop for £2.95, which is a bargin.
Spotify.
Agreed. It's the only thing that gets me through marking coursework; and a tenner a month is a bargain to not have to hear the bloody Hive heating advert.
Youth Hostels. £15-20 a night and no faffing carrying camping or cooking gear. Brilliant.

My local chippy does fish and chips for about £3 a go, bloody good it is too!

You are on a roll there sir,some top mentions 🙂
Pretty much every museum in Paris, the first Sunday of each month entry is free. Also under a euro for delicious bread. Almost makes up for the ridiculous beer prices. Almost.
British Museum, V&A museum, Science Museum, Tate, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool, Royal Academy, Natural History Museum, National Portrait Gallery, Imperial War Museum, City Art Gallery Manchester, Kelvingrove Gallery Glasgow, Laing Gallery Newcastle, The Baltic Gallery Newcastle. I've visited them all, and never paid a penny for entrance. I'd say that's good value.
Nobody mentioned internet grot yet then?
Are we just taking that as read?
I think the internet in general counts.
Yeah, but the grumble specifically is a big improvement on a soggy copy of Razzle you found in a hedge, and therefore worth a special mention 😆
Cod and chips at my old local chippy was £3.50 for a big bit of cod and more chips than I could eat without straying into self harm territory. And the chips were actually good chips.
Thus filling the holy triumvirate of "cheap", "good", and "plentiful".
I've never found as good a chip shop anywhere else.
I'm almost certain it was actually a mafia money laundering outfit.
All Lidl cheap chocolate (and ice creams).
Easter eggs.
Sainsburys Basics microwave meals, specifically the lasagne and the bolognese pasta bake. 75p each, British beef and genuinely no crap. Awesome.
The first beer of the evening, slipping over your tongue and down your throat. (it's the later ones that are expensive).
Feeling a lady's boob. (Actually, feeling a lass's boob - even better if she's not a lady :wink:)
Tomatoes, even really good ones are just a couple of quid for half a dozen and probably the best food ever. Bananas, tasty loads of energy they come half way round the world and still cost les than a pound for a bunch.
