Shopping, Nice Shopping and Freebies

 

Not a lot of shopping from Sainsbury's this week, just the things that I really needed.  

Although I feel guilty just looking at this photo ... I wasn't charged for the bananas!!  I have been doing my shopping, paying with cash and using the self-service tills recently, but this time the lady at the checkout was sat doing nothing so it seemed rude to walk past her.  Hence it was her fault that I have ended up with two free bananas.  But I have decided that I will ease my guilt by spending an extra 50p for the food bank this week.

I bought two more tubs of my favourite spread as they were on offer at £3.25 instead of the more usual £4, so that will keep me stocked up for quite a while.

Total spend at Sainsbury's £12.44.

Then there was an offer of an extra 10% off any items on the Deliciously Ella website shop, I already get 15% as an app subscriber ... so I went for it and placed an order.  It's easy to be swayed when you are feeling sad, but I'm glad that I was as this little lot will keep me in treats and snacks while we are on the move visiting Mum two or three times a week for the next few weeks.  

Alan has no problem finding himself tasty little treats and likes buying them when he's out and about, but there is usually limited or even no choice of things that I can have, and anyway I object to paying the prices charged at service stations.

I like the message on the box.

And this is why I like Deliciously Ella products.  

Yes, they are slightly more expensive than the norm but they are all very good quality and very satisfying.

A total spend at Deliciously Ella of £43.29.

Now I have got to be good and not just nibble away on all these tasty treats too regularly.  😄

The Deliciously Ella Shop, and the link to the website is also on my sidebar under the heading Websites.

To make up just a little bit, for spending a total of £55.73 this week I have also picked up a couple of freebies.  This can of energy drink worth £1.80 was this week's Booths cardholder free gift.  I don't like them but Alan does when he's on a long drive down South for work.

On the same day I picked up the salt and a spare napkin leftover from Alan's cooked breakfast at Booths, I just had a coffee while we were there but he was hungry.

And finally this morning we had to be out and about at breakfast time again, so we had a coffee each and shared a plate of toast at Dobbie's, which is somewhere that we knew Mavis could join us as we are trying to take her everywhere we possibly can when we go out and she is loving it.   

Alan finished all his honey so I just brought home the empty jar, but I had half of my marmalade and a pot of dairy-free spread leftover so they went into my bag along with the excess sugar that was put on our tray.

Not a lot of freebies considering the spending this week, but to quote a famous supermarket ... 'Every little helps ...'.

Now I have to come up with a plan that will stop me spending any money at all next week. 😀
