3rd September - Sainsbury's - £42.77
This shopping is looking very different from my usual photos as I broke all the shopping rules. I went shopping hungry, I had forgotten to make a list and I just wandered around trying to remember what I actually needed ... cheese, bread and deodorant. So there were far too many treats, and my main excuse is that I was hungry by the time I got to the supermarket after delivering Alan his lunch at the bungalow, hence all the little treats for me, but hey ... I will most definitely enjoy them over the course of the coming week.
I also got Alan's chocolate bars for his lunchtime puddings for next week and some chocolate cream eclairs as a treat for last night. My man is feeling very tired and in need of treats at the moment. The chicken is for Ginger, he has a little fresh chicken with every meal now, he's worth it. 😸
I did manage to stay inside my current £50 a week budget, but there's not a lot of actual meals there is there. Thank goodness for the freezer and cupboard stocks which I need to work through anyway.
A lot of what I bought was on offer in one way or another, so it was a good shop really. I also treated myself to the Radio Times as there is usually a lot of the dramas that suddenly appear on the television at this time of year and I wanted to see what was going to be available to either watch or record.
Another convincer to buy it was this card.
So I immediately scanned the QR code when I got home to see if I could get the offer, the small print had said I couldn't as a former subscriber, but it all went though straight away. So instead of paying the cover price which is currently £5.75 ... gulp!! I will get ten issues for just £1 each and then I can cancel it if I want to.
Scan it from here if you want to make use of it too.
I apologise for not being able to leave any comments on all the blogs that I read daily, and I understand if you too are unable to leave comments on my blog. But Blogger in it's wisdom is playing up yet again. I have reported the problem ... we'll see what happens.

I've been having the same problem commenting and replying to comments but it has suddenly cleared in the last couple of hours
ReplyDeleteI think enough of us pointed it out to Blogger, so it was sorted out quite quickly. It was strange being out of touch with everyone. 🙂
DeleteTrying to reply to all my comments now it is working again!! Glad you got your RT offer.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good offer, I'm glad I spotted it. 😀
DeleteThats a good RT offer. The autumn TV is usually good isn’t it…….and one of my favourites, Bake Off, starts next week I think .

DeleteYes, Strictly starts soon 😀

Thanks. xx
DeleteThis is the second blog post I'm reading today about issues with Blogger comments...wonder what is up? Your treats look good. All things in moderation, I say.
ReplyDeleteIt was a worldwide problem seemingly. It's obviously sorted now, but for how long? 🤔
DeleteAnytime you get things on discount, it's a good shopping trip, I say. :)
ReplyDeleteI, too, had problems commenting on blogs, yesterday, but, the issue seems to have been resolved. :)
Oh it is yes. Quite a few of us actually pointed it out directly to Blogger. They seem to have sorted out for now though. 🙂
DeleteMum used to get the Radio times. I just occasionally get my weekly paper on a Saturday so I have the programmes for the week. Didn't bother this week as so busy with the Fair. At £5.75 they haven't any chance of my buying it ever again!
ReplyDeleteI would never buy it at full price, well apart from this one so I could get the offer. But at a pound a copy it's cheaper than a newspaper, and I don't support any of the papers out of principle.
DeleteI've been having issues with the comments too. I love the Radio Times!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny suddenly having a copy in the house again, I have been Radio Time-less for the past six months.
