Well I dismantled a shed last year, and saved all the wood.. I thought I can make a bench out of that..

Decided against it as was to complicated for me..

Going to make a loft ladder instead, wish me luck..

Jacobs Mini Cheddars,

Home Bargains was £1 for 6 packets...

Now £1-19.

Fair enough difficult times..

But, these were all broken up, I like to have a packet with my nightly drink..

But now it's like doing a jigsaw puzzle, fitting the pieces together so I get a proper round one.

I despair.

I noticed this on my yahoo mail home page today:

 

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/mar/26/uk-supermarkets-accused-of-bombarding-shoppers-with-cheap-meat

 

On the one hand we have complaints about inflation and rising food prices and then on the other complaints about cheap meat deals that most people obviously want to see.

See Asda were making a great deal about how they are keeping a lot of prices down for the year, they have increased  the price of  their plain baguette by 25%.

So don't buy the baguette.

by a loaf. 

Goes further, keeps yer belly full.

Talking about bread,

Asda Tesco's and Lidl have all started doing 50/50 loafs.

55p (ish) or pay £1.10 for Hovis / Kingsmill.

Buy one loaf or two for the same price?

No brainer isn't it  .

 

Keep safe, shop wise, eat well  .

Aldi selling large individual baking potatoes for 19p each (up from 15p) but add a topping and still a cheap meal.

Noticed petrol has started to creep up in price again, the 6p reduction in fuel duty has essentially been wiped out already, heaven help up when that gets added back on.
