Shopping ... and Cynical Festiveness

 


This weeks shopping array ... is that a better word than 'haul' I really don't know!! 😄

I shockingly spent £42.48, that just goes to show what wine, fish, a couple of toiletry items and a little bit of stocking up on a few things does to the bill.  Oh well, it was all needed.  I was very happy with the lemons which were on the Super 6 just as I needed them ... I was down to my last slice in the freezer!

I was also very happy with the 75% off 'Smash Burgers' ... they cost me just 19p.  Will they taste nice, I have no idea but for that price and knowing that I have some buns in the freezer they will provide me with two meals, and you have to try new things occasionally don't you.

The receipt for posterity.


I remembered to write the dates on the the things that were destined for longer term storage ... only I have a feeling that the Stackz won't last that long, and the weetabix will be opened tomorrow as I am down to my last one in the tin.  Oh, well it's good to keep in the habit, it all helps with rotation.  It was all somehow squeezed into the bottom cupboard, one day it will explode and all the food will burst out.  

Yes, we had a cup of coffee and also shared a plate of scrambled eggs in Booths before we went to Aldi, at the front of the photo are my freebies.


Booths café, there are lots of decorations around the place, including a couple of lovely Christmas trees and Santa's fireplace just as you come up the stairs.

Looking down at the store from the café ... we were there very early when I took this photo.  

It's not looking quite as festive in this photo as it was taken last week, but already they are really starting to ramp everything up now.  Soon it is going to be a Christmassy wonderland in a bid to make us spend as much money as possible.

Gosh I'm a cynic ... I better go and get another cup of coffee.

  1. Fascinating to look at the differences between people's shopping... I don't think we have anything in common except the coconut milk!
