Make your roast go further.
On Thursday 30th January, the Sainsbury's Taste Team will make a welcome return to Forestside as part of the 'Make your roast go further' campaign. The campaign is focused around making your Sunday roast last up to three days and making the most of your food to manage tight budgets in the weeks after Christmas. The campaign features 'real' people instead of celebrity chefs in a response to customer feedback which has highlighted the grass roots approach; that customers identify more with everyday people with families and real limitations.
Sarah Warby, Marketing Director at Sainsbury’s, said: "In the current economic environment we're all less interested in the ideas of celebrity chefs. We're looking more for help and inspiration from people you can really relate to and practical, achievable ideas for food your kids will actually eat. January's a good time for us all to remind ourselves how to waste less and love our leftovers."
The dishes featured in Forestside will be 'Spiced Pork Noodles' and 'Moroccan Lamb with chickpeas spiced rice,' and Sainsbury's will run a half price promotion on Lamb and Pork shoulder roasts from 29th January-11th February to support the campaign.
Arlene from Sainsbury's Taste Team will be with us from 11-5 on Thursday 30th January.
