I was shopping for some chicken for Mavis and milk for Alan the other day, but I took the time to wander around Sainsbugs as I had time to spare, and it was raining hard outside and I had no desire to get soaked walking back to the car.
Anyway I spotted a few of my favourite things and all these were on offer, so I decided to have a little stock up.
These tissues should do me well into hayfever season and perhaps even beyond. The Linda McCartney 1/4lb burgers are the best meat-free burgers on the market in my opinion. They satisfy that occasional urge for something not too vegetable-y, and with sliced onions piled on top, lots of tomato ketchup, a lettuce leaf and tucked into a nice big bun make for a delicious evening meal No chips needed, they are filling!!
I've not had the pies for a long time, so it will be a bit of an experiment to see if they are still as good as I remember them. I do remember that a 'soggy bottom' was usually the only thing wrong with them, so I'll be heating a tray in the oven before they get put in there. I mean, no-one wants a soggy bottom!!
The Quorn Smoky Ham-Free slices are what I occasionally use either on a salad sandwich or fried in a little olive oil they make a lovely 'bacon butty'.
Now while I didn't save the receipt to give you the exact prices, I did make a note on the photo that all together these should have cost me £26.40, but with the special offers with my Nectar card I spent only £16.80, so a £9.60 saving.
Definitely not to be sneezed at. 🤧
I've found all sorts of things whilst I have been sorting out at Mums, the other day looking through the last couple of photograph albums I came across photos of Mum and Dad's American holidays, including this particular one that I had never seen.
We have relatives in Chicago, Illinois and they went to stay with them for a while before journeying on to Las Vegas ... where they got married for the third time, a whole other story!! Anyway when they came back they brought us all souvenirs from a White Sox game that they went to with the relatives. So of course we had to pose for a photograph in Mum and Dad's garden on our next visit to them.
The boys were thrilled with their gifts, much more thrilled than perhaps Simon's expression on this particular photo would lead you to believe. 😄

Love the photo of the boys when they were younger. I’ve discovered I can’t eat soya in any form and I need to have bean or vegetable burgers. Let’s hope we don’t need the hankies very soon for our hayfever but I reckon it will be next month I’ll start with the tree pollen. Have a nice weekend. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt's a great photo isn't it, I've worked out that I'm around 31 there, and my ex-husband 36, which makes Mum a bit younger than I am now. A real blast from the past. There's quite a lot of people that are sensitive to soya aren't there, luckily I am okay with it, although I am sensitive to sesame, which I only found out recently.
DeleteWhat a lovely photo and memory. You did very well on your shop.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
