Bargains..................

Just been to our local supermarket, and it was 'mark price down' time, and I got 7 punnets of greengages, 2 punnets tomatoes, 3 big beef toms, packet string beans, packet french beans,pack of tendersweet brocolli, 2 sweetcorn (marked down to 25p), 4 punnets English strawbs, all for £9:j.
Then I got a discount of £6 from a different supermarket.
Oh yes, and I hadn't spent the £30 it said on the voucher.
oooooh yes, and the voucher was out of date!
NOW, who's the best shopper in the family:j:T:rotfl:

    You did well!!!! I love it when you come away feeling just a wee bit smug at all the bargains you got.

    I did that the other week, came out with 2 big bags of fresh fruit + veg and paid about £2 for the lot!!!! A good time to try some of the more exotic things......like a dragon fruit for 10p.It was awful!!! No-one wanted to eat it...i did so that it wasn't wasted, but so glad I hadn't paid £1 to try it!!!

    Just had my first ever asparagus tips steamed last night for dinner. I'd never tried it before, but the pack was 10p.

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

    I got lots of bananas today, the local Sainsbury's were marking the packs down to 10p each - the bananas aren't even ripe yet! I'm ripening them up to freeze for smoothies, dairy-free 'ice cream' and baking.
