I still fall into store audit mode sometimes when I'm shopping - especially when you see silly pricing mistakes. But these days, most of the time I'd rather just get in and out as quickly as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-75486138757188047822013-02-07T15:00:33.298+00:002013-02-07T15:00:33.298+00:00Yum my favourite bread!

If you bought a cheap tub of dried milk, a bag of 'basics' flour and a couple of spoonfuls of salt you could make hundreds of pancakes. In fact I have just been on mysupermarket.com to check prices and you could buy all the basic ingredients for £2.09 (including a large pack of salt) the most expensive item being the dried milk. Weight for weight this would make you the same amount of pancakes or yorkshire puds as 15 bags of Batter mix which would cost you £5.55 taking the mid range, £11.85 if you take a brand such as Aunt B*ssies.<br /><br />Yet again it's cheaper to do it all yourself...... and just as easy in this case!!<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-69113965934551806882013-02-07T12:41:42.229+00:002013-02-07T12:41:42.229+00:00So true!

Whilst living in Germany a favorite dish of mine from a lovely Germany restaurant was a large pancake filled with broccoli, small chunks of feta cheese and a butter sauce. It was served with a thick tomato sauce and fried potatoes but these were really not needed. I believe Tesco and Sainsbury both sell a feta type basic cheese fairly cheaply.Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704864526903466800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-89554137519206382562013-02-07T12:15:18.462+00:002013-02-07T12:15:18.462+00:00It's so easy to spend, isn't it?

This is a great deal, £1 for six copies:-<br />http://www.radiotimes.com/magazine-subscription<br />Just remember to cancel the direct debit straight after the £1 has been taken otherwise they'll continue the subscription. I didn't realise Shrove Tuesday was next week, that means Eleanor will be hankering after them when she gets in from school.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-88463246384402994902013-02-07T12:12:33.381+00:002013-02-07T12:12:33.381+00:00Sometimes you need to break out of the "need&...Sometimes you need to break out of the "need" thing and venture into "want" though Sue - and particularly after you've been poorly. It's good for the soul, which needs just as much nurturing as the body and the wallet I'd say! I was very good indeed with my shopping last week, but do wonder if with the temptations of a wander around Morrisons planned for Monday, I will manage the same again!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175531371914205163noreply@blogger.com
