Shopping ... and Price Differences

 

I didn't need much shopping at the weekend, but Alan was going to Aldi and going for a bacon butty at Booths so I volunteered to go with him.  😁

After Booths, where he had his bacon butty, bought me a toasted teacake and we both partook of coffee, we bought some bread on the way out.  Alan got an unsliced organic loaf and I got another packet of four buns ... which he very kindly paid for despite my trying to put £1.25 into his hand.  The next stop was Aldi where Alan seemed to go mad in the aisles and filled a shopping trolley, I just got the few things above and waited for him just past the checkouts.

I didn't really need the fish portions, but knowing that I now had space in the freezer seemingly my right hand thought that they should be in the trolley along with Ginger's morning treats and the other bits and pieces.  I did need the wine, it was after all Saturday and right at the end of a long week!!  😄

My Aldi shopping receipt.

I thought 'woohoo Ginger's treats have gone down in price', I wasn't quite as excited when I had a closer look at the packet when I got home and discovered that now there are only five treats per packet and not six.  😐

The Booths receipt that Alan paid for.

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that I bought TWO packets of bread rolls, or 'baps' as these are insisting to be called..

When I saw these in Aldi for just 69p looking so similar to the Booths ones but at less than half the usual price ... they are on offer at the moment at £1.25 and are usually £1.40.  I thought that a taste comparison was in order.

I'll let you know after I try one of each in the very near future.  The Booths ones are currently residing in the freezer, even me and my penchant for brown bread rolls cannot manage to eat all of them at once.  I do have one of last weeks  Booths pack leftover to do the taste test.
