Tesco coupons.
These coupons are coming out of the tills quite regularly at Tesco's in Yate (nr Bristol). I also think it is something to do with Morrisons conversion. BTW I've now got 2 of the coupons. Used one today with the main Tesco shop but then went back for some frozen stuff I forgot (or rather my daughter did) and got another one second time through the check out.

Todays shopping.
The main event though was that I decided to go back to Morrisons with my updated shopping list and have another look. Found Morrisons big bag potato's were cheaper than Tesco's so that worked out even better. Details in the PS.

Herbs.
I thought of growing my own so tried some fresh ones. I put herbs with everything I can, even a sprinkling of Parsley in sandwhiches. I could live with the inconvenience of the fresh ones but my daughter couldn't and left it out. I'll stick with dried for now as I want her to get the goodness.

BUT

Anyone know how to finely chop herbs and dry them? That would be really usefull.
Regards

Just a thought. I use my Tesco credit card in Morrisons, which doubles as my Clubcard. Could I be getting those vouchers to tempt me back?
It won't work. I've become a price tart.

I cut them off in big bunches, hang them in my kitchen and then grind them in pestle/mortar.

Xbigman

You hang them and they dry out, yes? How long for?

Xbigman put 'dry your own herbs' into Google, plenty of advice Good luck. You can also freeze them which I would prefer to do as they say more like normal.
