Greyish, mildish and dryish here chez Casa Reynard today, though given the amount of standing water, it looked like it hosed it down last night.
Slept well, and then after a quick brunch, it was off to Tesco for the traditional NYE yellow sticker hunt. Store was bloody heaving, and it took me 10 mins to get into the car park. Still, I was inside bang on 1pm. I did miss a few of the earlier markdowns, but judging by what was left, there wasn't anything of any great interest. Green bins, Xmas clearance and fruit & veg largely a bust, but loads in the chilled and in the bakery. Some of the markdowns were all over the place - things like cooked chicken and ready meals only went down by 50%, some chilled stuff and the fruit & veg (largely bags of salads and stir fry) by 75%. While other bits went down by 90%, and that made them positively bargainous.
Picked up three "finest" gammons, a job lot of locally-produced dry cure bacon, three trays of sausage rolls, two "finest" pizzas, two packs of posh pigs in blankets, a kilo wheel of Stilton, four trays of chicken & prawn party canapes, four small tubs of coleslaw, half a dozen packs of apples, two swedes, a job lot of assorted bagels, two wholemeal breads, some Portuguese custard tarts, Bakewell tarts and two bags of doughnuts.
Best buys by far were the gammons, reduced by 90% to £1.38 each, the packs of bacon at 36p each and the kilo of Stilton for £6
My fridge and freezer are now officially rammed full. Well, the latter will be by the time I've shoehorned two of the gammons and those sausages in there. I'm also well stocked up with fruit & veg thanks to the stickers and the Xmas offers. Other than needing milk at some point, I will not need to go grocery shopping for a while.
Have had a quiet afternoon listening to the footy. That did not go well. But at least the
and the cheese on toast did.
Almost time to feed the cat. And tonight's food will be a raid-the-fridge job.
