While Alan was doing a final pre-Easter days work with the builders at the bungalow yesterday, I took myself off to the shops for the things that I wanted this week. First I called to Aldi, gosh it was really busy considering it was only 9.30 am. People with full trolleys and the Easter egg aisle was virtually impassable.
I'm pretty stocked up with most things at the moment, so these were just extras that I fancied and replacements for things I have used. Of course I had to include Ginger's Tasty Licks, a very necessary thing at the moment as he is on two lots of medication from the vets, one for his arthritis and one for his over-active thyroid. They must taste nice as we have no trouble getting any of his medicines down him. most unusual for a cat! 🐱
The receipt for posterity ... and price comparison in a years time.
Gosh doesn't fish and wine bump up the cost of the shopping, I may have to have another try at frozen salmon fillets, the last lot that I got were not that nice though.
Then it was round to Sainsbury's as I had a £2 off coupon for the little Oggs cakes and they are currently on Nectar offer at £3, so I got them for just £1 which makes them a very nice Easter treat.
I picked up some of Alan's favourite cough sweets, he eats them in the car when he's travelling, I like the black traditional ones but not the honey or cherry flavours, so they are all his.
So pretty bog standard shopping for me really.
We don't do family meals or even visits at Easter any more, which is a shame. So there's no need for us to stock up on the makings of a large lunch. I think I am going to try and rectify this once we move and we have our lovely big open plan living area. It would be nice to get everyone round once in a while.
As I paid for my Sainsbury's shopping the machine spat out a very tempting coupon. It's £18 off a £60 online shop, I need to sit and have a think about this one as it is a really good offer. Perhaps to good to miss ... I don't know. 🤔
