    Just compared it with the local veg box I’ve had before and that’s £10 for a bigger box. I’m going to cancel the oddbox subscription.

    Is there a market near you SA I get a carrier bag of potatoes a cauliflower cabbage carrots onions turnip and leeks for 3 pounds and he quite often sticks a box of berries in as well if they have a lot 
    No there isn’t, I wish there was. I’ve tried the indoor market in the city centre before and paid a fortune for a bunch of bananas so it put me off going again. We have a greengrocer near us but they’re quite expensive and there’s always a massive queue.

    That’s a shame I think we are lucky we are only a small town but the market is very popular and well used 
  • We have a Greengrocers who charge a fortune too, my best bit is Aldi, I would like the convenience of the delivery and might look into Milk and More? They seem to deliver everything.

    In the middle of clearing the garden and greenhouse.  Mr SA has shuffled through some dog 💩 I missed in the garden and got it all over the path. Apparently it’s my fault! So he’s added an extra job for me to clean the path. I’m on a mission to clear out the greenhouse before moving the delicate potted plants into it. Picked the last of the tomatoes and the plants are now in the garden waste bin. The best thing he could do is keep out of the way and leave me to get on with it but he insists on butting in 🤬

    That veg also has nothing wrong with it so why is it classed as odd. It's about time people were shown that not everything's looks perfect but it still tastes the same 🙄

    I agree, the veg looks ok - I'm sure you'll rustle up some tasty meals!
    Perhaps threaten to rub Mr SA's nose in the💩if he doesn't keep his opinions to himself!🤣
