Been to Morrisons this afternoon, lots of bargains to be had. The lad was marking all the fridge stuff down as I got there, I got fresh chicken fillets wrapped in bacon, 75p down from £4, pork, duck, which had been £7.25 down to 99p. Lots of other stuff, ended up with £46.77 worth of stuff for £6.77, not often I get to hit it at the right time, but I did today.

Lots of other Homeprides jars on clearance in my Tesco, must not be popular. But I can't eat them because they've got gluten in. Couldn't find any 1p choccies though- left it too late, I think!Minimalist

Don't know if negatives are allowed on here but I walked through Tesco today. They had mushrooms reduced (past their best) to the price that you can get them for in Aldi any day of the week!0
