A few weeks ago I stalked the lady doing the reductions in M&S. It's not pleasant, to find yourself standing menacingly close to a young woman who's just trying to do her job, but needs must. As a result of my continued proximity to her, I got quite a lot of gluten free stuff reduced, a couple of jellies and a pack of mince. Everything was down to 25% of its original price, which is a good job, as I am utterly bemused at the idea anyone could pay £5 for a small pack of mince. That's £2.50 a kilo. For mince! Anyway, with my reduced mince I made a cottage pie type of affair. Chucked everything bar the potatoes in the slow cooker, then when the mince mix was cooked slapped it in a baking dish, topped with mash that I already had made and then baked at 200 degrees for 25 mins.
Obviously a less hungry person would have photographed the whole pie, or a nicely presented portion. Me and the girl scarfed ours at a disgusting rate, and only then did it occur to me to take a photo. Oops.

Serves 6, so 41p per portion
Had mine with a portion of sweetcorn, so another 8p for that.
