    One achieved a rather disappointing 70% dahling. One must simply pop off to the wine cellar to partake in a bottle of vintage Veuve.

    Innit

    :D

    Asda always used to call their yellow stickered goods whoopsies, not sure if they still do. Havent seen any other supermarket call them that, but I knew that was a term for reduced food.

    Oh Asda :rotfl:

    I didn't know Groupon did vouchers for there, so checked it out but it's expired and so I signed up for when they do the offer again. :)

    I've just had one of those chicken casserole a Fuller Longer meals for tea, and it was blooming gorgeous!

    Last one I got was from a grabbit offer on here, was from bespoke offers, couple of months ago. Not spent it yet.

    I dont do processed food much, just because Ive been trying to eat more healthily over the last year or so and its cheaper for me to cook from scratch, but as I said before, the price of the M and S stuff shocked me a bit (its very clear that these days Im a home bargains, wilkos, aldi and B and M kind of bird).

    I think it was because they always used to put a sticker on the food saying whoops, its now 10p or whatever it was, hence whoopsies.

    Oh Asda :rotfl:

    Well this 77% posh person is quite happy to take advantage of Asda whoopsies! Noblesse oblige & all that!

    In actual fact, the staff in the two Asda stores that I patronise are polite and helpful ....which is more than can be said of some the hoi polloi that one can meet in Waitrose or M & S - very Hyacinth Buckett!

    Worst place of all is Costco (shudder)!

    My local asda is a bit of a rabble but thats because its always mobbed. Aldi is always busy but its more like a steady busy, never really jam packed.
    Never had a bad shopping experience in home bargains or B and M either.

    However, one time I was in home bargains, this woman who must have been 50 something, had a pair of pyjama bottoms on, a scotland top and a pair of wellies. I couldnt believe it. It was about midday.

    Even I wouldnt go shopping dressed like that.

    I saw someone in a PJ onesie on a train a few months ago, it was obvious they weren't going to a dress up party!

    Plastic bags I said no to because I avoid then like them like the plague! Don't know if that's posh or common but hey ho.
