Yesterday I realised that I needed to buy a TV guide for next week and popped to Sainsbugs whilst G was at the allotment patiently weeding the bed of raspberry canes. When we did the shopping on Tuesday I noticed that a pack of 4 big brand baked beans were retailing at £2.50, far too expensive so I left them on the shelf. At Sainsbugs I snagged the last pack of 4 @ £1.45, much more reasonable. Our daughter is coming for lunch today so I picked up 3 big baking potatoes for 61p (coincidentally with 40 bonus Nectar points on them) and a tin of pears (well as last year's Pear Queen I just had to! 😂) We can have baked potatoes with cheese and use up some of the salad from the fridge.....
We were so stuffed that we didn't need anything else later!
Funds:
In the French cafeterias they eat from their trays at lunchtime - so over there it is quite chic! You do have to watch that some of the cheaper food shops can be dearer than Sainsbury's. At Farm Foods today I noticed their large Lurpack was £6 - Sainsbury's is on offer at the moment at £5.75 and you get Nectar points too.
ReplyDeleteWell I never! I won't tell G about the tray ;)
DeleteRe prices: the cheapest ones are often in unexpected places, aren't they, we just need to be vigilant I think.
Wow £2.50 for four tins of baked beans our grannies would be absolutely horrified!!
ReplyDeleteA 2p shop is a VERY good shop, and that gingerbread cheesecake looks very tasty :-)
The cheesecake was delicious and I did give G the cream off the top to eat with his apple cake :)
DeleteVery well done. That cheesecake looks amazing, hope it tasted wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It did, Jackie, it did :)
DeleteThose desserts look amazing. Glad you found such excellent bargains on groceries.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stephenie :)
DeleteYour slice of cheesecake looks delicious! And you did great with getting your groceries with your points and refunds, and paying very little of your cash!
