Went to Tesco's today...didn't want to bother actually 'cos I was tired and cross and when I was looking at the bananas they were enormous and I don't like huge bananas and they were much more expensive than our local supermarket.
There were displays of red roses as well for Valentine's Day...tall and perfectly straight and with flowers all precisely the same size...cost a small fortune too. I like blowsy, sweet scented roses that fill the sitting room with perfume and drop delicate petals all over the old pine chest...
But I lumbered round and bought essentials and then stood and looked at the different breads for a while before deciding none of them would slice up to fit in the toaster and a woman next to me muttered under her breath about the garlic bread making the teacakes smell...of garlic.
I put a loaf of O'Hara's sliced bread in my trolley and a pack of seeded bread rolls and wondered whether we needed more washing-up liquid or not...
Himself went to get yet more batteries for my ambulant oxygen...costs a feckin' fortune so it does in batteries and came back with a pack of salted peanuts.
And I found the vitamins and such like and stocked up on Vit D and Vit C with Zinc and wonder whether they actually work or if it's all a ploy to get us to spend more money...
Sugar is surely sugar but Tesco's sugar is forty-five cent more than the local supermarket sugar but the wine is two euro cheaper and I get a bit befuddled over what to buy here and what to leave and get even more tired and cross trying to fathom it all out...
The tiny plum tomatoes announce you have to eat seven of them to contribute towards your five-a-day but a tin of sliced mango counts as one and the cod in the fish section isn't actually cod...it's Pollack.
So I go back to where the magazines are displayed and choose one about crochet because I don't care if that bumps the final bill up...
To add insult to injury we catch a glimpse of Mick who promised he'd come and look at our leaky kitchen roof months and months ago and never did...he sort of sidled sideways though you can't really miss him 'cos he has red hair in long dreads and wears his very long beard in tiny plaits adorned with beads...but he was away in his little battered car quick as a flash...don't think he really wanted to be scrambling about on our leaky roof to begin with...was just being polite.
Himself found the right sort of batteries and we paid the bill and came home.
Morning Vashto, How is it that you manage to make a trip to Tesco's intresting, What a talent you have, Mick sounds colourful, Hope the leak gets fixed, Hope your Sunday goes well, Very best wishes, Bulpit
Morning Vashti, I ordered shopping online from Tesco last week because Pete and I had been unwell. What a palava that was! Virtual shopping is not my thing it seems as I have no idea what I am buying and when it turns up...........it has to be seen to be believed! Two of the biggest courgettes I have ever seen and 4 huge Cox's apples! I think I will try and go shopping this week so I can see properly what I am buying. Even then I don't always get it right.
You make me smile and have brought cheer to me today. Get that Mick out to your roof, he sounds like he could do the job to me. Good luck with that. xxxx
Courgettes are horrible when they're big...need to be really small and tender don't they? And big apples put me off eating them, unless we share one between us...I like to see what I'm actually getting...!
Haha, how funny to read your account of shopping in Tesco - with Himself, of course.
We should form a club...Say NO to Big Bananas. I only like the smaller ones too!!! - oh, and preferably slightly speckled xxx
in reply to
Now I like them when they're beginning to speckle...Himself says they're over-ripe and won't eat them...so if I'm feeling ok I make a banana bread...then he eats them unknowingly...lol
I took my old friends to Tesco today she wanted a pack of quavers for a pack of 12 they were £2.95 in Asda they are £2.92 for 24 it does pay to shop around
Yes they are nice but my friend put them back on the shelf. We went to a retail park on it is Matalan, pound world, Pets @ home, Sports direct, Home bargains, Boots, Home base and Tesco and we have a ASDA living so we spent a few hours just looking around I think Sundays can drag if your at home
You are brave going to supermarkets ! I avoid them as much as possible these days, I think I picked up too many bugs there, as since I started to get my grocery order delivered, I have had hardly any chest infections. Its just too tiring these days, with Bronchiectasis and Osteoarthritis , I prefer to save myself for an enjoyable dog walk. I just have to think about how I can get someone to put it all away in my cupboards for me now , as that takes me up to an hour!
