What £7.50 bought me at the greengrocery warehouse

 Well, I am sick of driving now.  Not to mention packing and unpacking.  Bar yesterday, I have done nothing else, daily, for nearly a week.  I am giving myself tomorrow off!  Anyway, Unit looking a bit more exciting and full of different things.  Hopefully some folk will find them of interest.  Of course, what sells is militaria.  I need to try and use what little knowledge I have, to try and find some more bits.  


I stopped at Chris Thomas's greengrocery warehouse again - where we used to always get our fruit and veg from.  Tuesday is a better day to go, as that's when fresh stock comes in so there are always some really good £1 boxes of stuff then.  Next time I go that way . . .

The lemons were enormous - 3 for £1.30.  The peppers 2 for £1.  4 good plums for £1.  Raspberries £1.  Strawberries £1.50.  Apples £1 the bag.  I think the very fresh (still had ice on it!) Broccoli (well, Calabrese) was about 70p.  

I may just have treated myself too, having earned enough to top up fuel for the week (£40) at the Fair, with £5 left over.  Tee magazine, a new one, was £5.99.  It will stay in my collection for several years I suspect.



Plus it came with free seeds.

The Tesco shop had a large bag of the cat biscuits I buy, as they were on special offer so £4.25 cheaper than usual. It's cheaper to buy the big bag. The cat sachets (40) were also reduced and on offer, from £12 to £10.75.  I would have needed both next week anyway.  I got my lunch there too - a meal deal - and a few other things.  £48.74.  I remembered the black eye pencil - the dark brown one I bought on line goes on far too ginger! I went to Lidl for eye makeup remover pads (dry ones) as they were £1.80 in Tesco.  In Lidl I got a double pack for the same money.  It pays to shop around.

Now I must quickly water round as it was cool and overcast here first thing, and pots still looked damp.  Now they are definitely NOT!
