That Went Reasonably Well...

It was fine getting around the supermarket.

I found a £6 novelty jar of Bassett's Jelly Babies at half price(so that will make a change to a selection box)as a gift on Christmas Day for the Grandchild who will be where I am having my festive meal and though I found it on offer, it would normally sell at double the price. So its a decent gift*:> smug

I had to buy some wrapping paper and wanted it look nice so what I saved helped pay for that. I suspect it will last me for a few years...so I am prepared for next year. All sorted. Now I can take it easy. I will need some gift tags to write on the gift.

I found some decent multivitamins(with added minerals)though it did not say they had minerals until you read the list of ingredients...they were on a 3 for 2 offer and I could have done a better deal but I purchased two packets of them(that came to £9.98)they'll last until the end of January and another item I wanted was therefore free so I saved £3.45 on that. So it works out around 17p per day. Not too bad, though over the year that is still £62.

But in general I think it actually was cheaper than the last time I purchased vitamins because they have more in one tablet so I do not mean as many separate ones.

I decided on grated cheese, it was the same price as I would've paid for cheese slices if I had purchased two packs of sliced and same weight. Spring onions, cheap razors, powdered milk, milk, bread buns, peppers.

I'm still on for the casserole*:) happyshifted things around so my fruit and porridge will be in the afternoon(late breakfast)I have had some wholemeal sandwiches with chicken, lettuce/spinach and marmite substitute. I had a banana sandwich in the early hours so I'm getting all my vitamins and minerals.

Tomorrow at this time all being well, I'll be off on the coach trip to Hartlepool. We should be home around 3pm I would guess.

That is very thoughtful Lorna, thank you.

Wait until I really hit my stride regarding cooking and shopping ;-)

I will share what is a learning curve, I have picked up enough tips so I will never starve. Any ideas always welcome.

I hope that I can see more next year and share that too.

The last few days have been fine so hopefully tomorrow will be.

Its time I added more personal traits like my musical tastes again. x
