I don't want to worry you unduly, but, until I noticed your avatar, I had just presumed that this was a Marwood post...

Rolykit for two quid from the Hospice Warehouse.

..doesn't the woman on the phone sound like she's talking through a set of bagpipes..?

 

[tek-monkey]

That looks oddly familiar!

On a side note I see Sainsburys are selling Russian Standard Vodka 1L for £15, they also have a £15 off voucher for new online customers (7NVD-CF3Q-7RCX). I think the cheapest delivery slot is £4, so £12 a bottle! I only ordered one and stocked up on ciders with the rest.

Just bought another (unnecessary) chiming wall clock from the Hospice Warehouse for twelve quid - it seems to be working tolerably well without any attention so far, but I'll have a good look inside later.

I saw it yesterday and agonised all night.

Looks very like this, but with a silencing lever.

Wilkinsons have lovely big panettone for £3. Big box, ribbon, everything. I got four Christmas presents for £12 and was feeling incredibly chuffed until I saw a Morrisons advert saying theirs were £2. But that would mean going into a strange supermarket and I know my way round Wilkinsons.

So on balance, still a boast.

120g packs of ham, baked or peppered, from chicken John in the market. 2 packs for a quid or 6 for £2, so I got 12! Works out about £2.75/Kg, dates are 23/24 but most of mine are destined for the freezer anyway.

Was in Lidl earlier and they'd reduced all the Christmas dead things. Got a whole duck for £2.50 and 2 duck crowns for £2.05 each

Sainsburys slashed their turkeys from £40 to less than a tenner , some people were very greedy buying 3 or more tonight

 

[tek-monkey]

Good on them, stock up while you can!

... some people were very greedy buying 3 or more tonight

One fateful Xmas, it may well have been the first one living back here after living away for some time, i made the mistake of leaving my food shopping til late on Xmas eve. There was not a single turkey based item on the shelves, no chickens, no nothing - it looked like the aftermath of a mass looting event.

There was a solitary pheasant at the butcher's counter type thing which i grabbed purely on the grounds of it being the right shape. A bountiful Xmas it was not.

It is not a mistake i have subsequently repeated - as tek alludes to, if it's there for the taking you may as well fill yer boots.

 

[kilmaccumsey]

I suppose but there was people behind them in the queue that had nothing

 

[tek-monkey]

But did they want one? I did 2 laps of lidl before returning for the second duck crown, nobody else seemed interested. Don't get me wrong though, I bagged the duck and the first crown immediately and sod anyone else!

 

[kilmaccumsey]

Don't like duck duck

Boss-eyed Sophie sporting her bargain boast.......Red, Sparkly, 2 gold bells.....Christmas cat collars on Sainsburys clearance shelves....

Only 10p each!

Sophies made up that I bought her 5 of them (not)!

I've just boosted my clubcard points to buy myself and my eldest an annual pass to Trentham Gardens.

For the grand total of £25 in clubcard points I have £100 of Trentham Garden vouchers, passes are £55 + £23 leaving £27 to use on day trips for the hubby (who probably wouldn't get the use from a pass).

I don't wish to be pedantic but why were they in the queue if they had nothing?

 

[tek-monkey]

I got some smoked duck breasts for a quid each today

Nice.

I don't wish to be pedantic but why were you pedantic if you didn't wish to be?
