    Bargains in Greece

    saffron
    ouzo
    god awful retsina (but it improves in flavour the more you drink I find);)
    Metaxa
    Greek delight

    why not make Greek hampers to leave behind...a way of bringing you closer together IYSWIM...

    I'd forgotten this was for any celebration :p so I can now post my finds from yesterday's expedition!We live way 'darn sarf' & there are no places like Home Bargains, Poundland, etc & our closest MrA, Hobbycraft & Primark are at least 45mins drive in each direction :o so--rather like Mary--I rely heavily on what I can find in whatever shops available.




    You will have to visit Sovereign land cos you're all posh darn sarf...

    Mary - I can't look at an empty gravy tub without thinking of you :rotfl:.

    Will have to do something with them rather than recycle them :D

    I have images of Mary and her OH having gravy with absolutely every meal just so Mary can get her mits on the empty tubs ;)

    you can also get Parsley sauce in the same tubs and cheese sauce and curry gravy but the parsley has VERY festive GREEN lids...
    my DD loves it -
    lightbulb moment - red tubs and green lids (for they are interchangeable) how festive would that be?
    Mary you have first call if you want my green lids...

    (assuming it's the aaaah brand...)

    Valli - green lids !!!!! :j Trouble is, ours are Somerfields own......did have one with a red lid that I've stashed away upstairs........think that''ll become a santa head.........the ones with white lids.........perfect for snowballs to go in............even better with green lids though.......could cover tub in white felt and stick christmas trees on.........snow scene and snowballs inside:j

    well off the top of my head these are a fairly standard size. The green lid (for DD has had fish so the tub has been out) are flat - no logo/branding on so they're yours if you want them...

    Hi all
    Just decided to take advantage of the wine deals in Tesco to buy the wine for Christmas! With the offer worked out at £3.17 a bottle.
    Now all I need to do is to stop myself drinking it before Christmas, by sealing up the box and trying to forget that I bought it!
    (and have so far managed to save about £14 by putting spare change from my purse into a jar inthe kitchen!!!)

    Only 210 days to go!!
    :j Bought all my presents for this year (birthday and Christmas) now starting on next years!!:j
