On the meat you get so many points and can select what you want or they do a selected meat box. Unfortunately won't get meat till 29th of september, but veg boxes will get this week.

So will see how it goes, I'm worried I don't have enough freezer space.
Will let you know how I get on.

Planning to turn the brisket into salt beef and pastrami and also order 16kilos of flour to make fresh bread for work lunches.
