Aldi 1st February - £21.20
It's time for me to try and have a catch up of everything that I've been missing, but I can only manage a short while on the bar stool that I have to use when I'm on the computer, so sadly it will be brief.
February started with me back eating fish, but I have to say I have really gone off fresh salmon, so I think breaded fish will have to be the way forward, and these Aldi fish portions are reasonably priced and very tasty.
It does bump the cost up though doesn't it when you buy a few fishy products at once!
There's not been a lot of shopping up to now this month, but then there's not been a lot of eating either. 😞
Booths - £4.30
The second shopping of the month contained no food, but my favourite washing up liquid was on special offer at 25% off, so although I needed one, I bought two.
I have decided that from now on I am buying quality and ethical products rather than quantity and cheapness. It seems to actually balance out ... well up to now anyway.
The three napkins were from the café in Booths, Alan took me out for a coffee, but the tablets I am on are making everything taste foul, so there's not been much coffee drinking going on this past week. I must be saving him a fortune. 😄
11th Aldi - £14.94
To bring you right up to date, this morning we had a quick trip to Aldi as we have family coming to stay for a couple of days and Alan wanted to get some things in.
Looking at the photo it really is a very random basket of shopping isn't it, but I was just going for what I really needed and what I fancied. But when everything tastes awful you just have to try ... I won't be munching on the floor wipes though!!
Happily just before we left for Aldi, this weeks
Riverford box and Salad Bag arrived so we could check out what we definitely didn't need to buy.
Again it was all beautiful quality food, and once we had shared it out we set off for the other things that we needed/wanted.
I changed the order a bit this week and went for a Seasonal Vegetable Box rather than the mixed fruit and veg box. I have to say that this suits me better as I do prefer vegetables to fruit, I always have. As there wasn't a cucumber in this weeks salad bag Alan bought a large cucumber from Aldi and said I could have half, so I have some lovely salady things to eat.
Once again this order was paid for by my prize winning vouchers, and I have enough left in the account to get one more totally free of charge order and then something off a fourth.
As it was pouring with rain first thing this morning the delivery driver left the order on the doorstep and ran back to his van. Happily they have a 'Box Brolly' to put over and around your box to keep the cardboard and the contents dry.
I would actually call it a polythene bag ... but hey now it's a box brolly. 😁

Sue i agree with you about buying quality and ethical products. I buy my cleaning and washing up liquid products from a company called Miniml. I buy large conatiners which save on the cost and can be refilled. They work really well too.;
ReplyDeleteBox brolly sounds much friendlier and more efficient than polythene bag.
ReplyDeleteWe were up at the crack of dawn for Norrie to go up to the eye clinic for this month’s injection which was done quickly including eye test and scan. I agree about ethical buying and try to do it as often as is practical. Your Riverford box contents look so fresh and the box brolley looks like it may be made of potato starch or similar which is compostable. ( The C and C magazine is delivered in something similar. Hope you continue to improve healthwise and enjoy spending time with your visitors. Catriona
