Anything to Declare?

 

Aldi - 20p

At the start of the week I picked up some of the Easter 'bargain vegetables' from Aldi.  This year once again they were promising that they were absorbing the loss and not the farmers ... I hope that this was true.

The potatoes were 8p for 2 kilos, the onions were 8p for 1 kilo and the carrots just 4p for a kilo.  Lots of food but not much money.

They might have been cheap but I was still going to look after them and make them last as long as possible.  So they were all unpacked, left to breathe for a while and then repacked into my Lakeland Stayfresh bags.

Booths £9.60

We went for a coffee at Booth on Easter Monday so we got a bit of shopping while we were there, I spent £9.60 on a dozen eggs and two organic long-life soya milks.

Booths £7.25 + £1 for the book.

I called back to Booths on Wednesday to pick up a ready made pastry case, after being at the Doctors.  My back has been really bad and I just couldn't face making my own pastry, I cheat when I have to and I am more than happy to admit it.

The soya milks had been reduced since our last visit so I snapped up two more at the new lower price, along with four lovely looking Gala apples that were four for the price of three and a loaf of bread.  I kicked myself on the way home as I remembered that I have one of these loaves in Alan's freezer.  Oh well, it will all be used.

I was waylaid by the charity book table on the way out and this book forced me to buy it.  I am already halfway through, it is brilliant.

Have I anything to declare ... ?

Only my complete inability to stop shopping for food when I am supposed to be on a shopping ban while I work on making space in my freezer and random food storage areas.

Oh well, it was only me that knew about the ban, I didn't tell Alan and I didn't tell you ... so no one knows.  😁
