Food for Thought

[commonpeople1]

The guy in front of me at Tesco's bought three carrier bags worth of food - all discounted stuff or "value" brand. Enough food to last a week, maybe more. Total expense: £14

I bought dinner for tonight, some marigolds and dish scrubs, a bottle of olive oil, Doritos and salsa dip. Enough stuff to last until midnight tonight if you don't count the oil. Total expense: £17

I'm such a Guardian reader.

Today I bought:

Store brand wholemeal bread loaf $1.79
1 litre carton of store brand low fat milk $1.54
Small bottle of almond/coconut body wash $1.00
= $4.33

And that's seriously the least I've spent in one purchase on groceries in the longest time.

Then I got excited because there was a great coupon on the back of the receipt!

And did you win anything with the coupon?
