    Yes, Shallots last for ages.
    And veggies can be frozen if you've got the space !
    Forgot to mention that it's maximum 6 identical items at Morrisons; and 4 identical items at ALDI.
    Have a Good Xmas whatever you're doing and if your faith respects it !!!

    P.S. I retract what I said about M & S. In the final few minutes of trading on Christmas Eve, I happened to be browsing in the store when a female member of staff approached me with a trolley full of flowers, which she was giving away !! Not so much bah humbug as aah humbug !

    P.P.S. Well I can report a better price than 5p for veggies...Went into ALDI on December 28 and they were GIVING AWAY Parsnips & Sprouts (Havant, Hampshire).

    HAPPY NEW YEAR  and roll on Easter 2026 when the veggie price wars will almost certainly re-commence !!!

    Hence my local ASDA giving away mountain loads of free veg on boxing day.  Perhaps a lesson for next year, but I doubt they will listen to staff on the shopfloor?

    Morrisons down to 5p with More card.
    Thank's for that , know were I will be shopping this year.
    Will see if my cunning plan for January works, worth 20p on a punt.
    Please come back and let us know, pretty sure you will be charged full price. Which supermarket?
    Just a little update on how this is panning out.

    Placed orders on 23/12 and 24/12 for delivery on 29/12; 3/1; 10/1 and 17/1
    All accepted the offer price when order was placed,although I could not get carrotts for 3/1;10/1 or 17/1.

    Received order today and all the veg charged at 5p per item, so two happy households who have got this weeks fresh veg for 20p per household.

    Which supermarket was this? I’ll be surprised if your still getting the discount on 17th but I guess maybe you will.

    Don't forget to air your onions that is keep thme in the string bag hung up ideally otherwise they will rot quickly, they can keep for 7-8 months if stored properly or rot in a few weeks if in plastic sweaty bags

    You clearly know your onions! Time to repurpose an old pair of tights.
