Losing in Lockdown - Slimming World Support Thread

I thought supermarkets prices were all the same as when there was money supermarket website  they gave prices for each company no matter if you was in London or York for example
I buy 2 or 3 a week
Syn free curry, egg fried cauli rice and garlic bread hexb

I hardly ever found the prices on MySupermarket right for when I went shopping!  There is certainly a North South divide on prices.  I know when I've been on holiday further North the prices have been cheaper and suspect that's still the case.  It certainly seems like it.  The cauliflower in Morries today were tiny and they still wanted £1.20 for them, no way would I pay that, would only have been enough for one meal.

Strange Denise , i find sainsburys and tesco better for cauli, like Maman said Aldi cauli's have been dire last few weeks

Been using Morries and Iceland lately.  Hardly ever use Sainsburys and only use Aldi occasionally so not been in either.  Tesco is too busy in my area as it's the main SM and where everyone who doesn't drive uses.  Queues are horrendous.

Morning All 

Early start today, dh was at work "normal" time so left here at 6.30, been up since half 5! thought i'd go tesco to do shopping, lady waiting outside and i asked what time it opens? 8am says she , it says on the board down there, i said i am not standing there till then!
She was about 70, its bloody freezing!! we had a real hard frost last night everywhere was white!! why would she get there that early and stand and freeze?
So anyway I'm home , washing out next load in 
Just had another cuppa now got to get brekkie then do my cleaning

Although i have had my breakfast could feel a picky morning coming on, although i rarely snack as a rule, perhaps cause i have been up since 5.30! so just prepped a whole watermelon incase

I bought a pineapple and was planning on doing the same but unfortunately it's ripe enough yet!  So I've just had a satsuma even though breakfast wasn't that long ago!  I can see it being a hungry morning today; glad I went shopping yesterday and bought some more fruit.

Had watermelon a few weeks ago.  I love it but it's not something I buy very often as I can eat most of it in one sitting!

Pleased with myself yesterday. I put my shopping off until today to ward off that weekend feeling and it worked. I had a syn free day yesterday. I'm obviously a creature of habit and moving my shopping day to Thursday hadn't helped. I'll probably have to queue more today but it's worth it.  

I find water melon tasteless but I did notice that Galia was on offer in Lidl. I won't bother going there though. I went to stock up on cornichons and DH's muesli the other week  and they only had 2 checkouts open. The cashiers thought they were doing well as queues inside the store were tiny. They should have looked out of the window and seen the queue all round the car park.  

What was the slow cooked cottage pie like denise? Did you prefer it to mince? I sometimes make chunky chilli like that, especially if I get some YS diced beef.  

Not exactly sure what to have for lunch but I'll have done my shopping by then so might change my mind. I fancy a JP but it'll depend on how big the potatoes are, lots of small ones in last week's bags. 

Today's EE plan-
B- NAS grapefruit (F), scrambled eggs (P), HEB toast, HEA milk
L- sardines (P) and pickles (S)
D- Fake KFC (P), SW chips (F), mushrooms, tomatoes and green stuff (S)
Syns- HP sauce 1, weekend wine!
