PS
I love Raggytash's song. Does it have a tune?

Aye that was running through my head when Lidl and Aldi were first mentioned: Mickey is brother of Cathal McConnell btw.

"Supermarket tarts" Senofou! That's me too, often depending who has given me the best vouchers! ASDA don't but their wine prices can be VERY good! And my husband knows all the times and places to go for the real knock-down prices: one branch of M & S in particular: stuff that was £3 marked down to 20p!

Ah yes, Tattie, we have a Tesco Clubcard, and just today we received vouchers for £13.50 in the post. Very handy. Sadly our freezer is microscopic, so we can't buy large quantities on offer to stash away.

Another reason we go to the various supermarkets on our list is the collection of African acquaintances we seem to have made. There's Jeme (Gambia) at Morrisons, Simeon (Nigeria) and Albert (Kenya) at the local small Tesco shop, Nelson (Angola) on the fish counter at the Superstore Tesco, a lady from Ghana on the till in Asda (don't know her name yet) and the opticians' receptionist in Tesco (now Vision Express) from Ghana too. I also like to natter to Shamima (Bangladesh) a customer, who is often browsing the exotic veggies with my husband. It's absolutely lovely, they all know us well and give us hugs and smiles. It's more like a very nice party than a supermarket shopping trip!

Your shopping trips sound fab, Senofou! I don't enjoy shopping, but that could be OK!
And I got the same Tesco vouchers: some spent on wine, some on food and toiletries. So ASDA and Sainsbury's missed out this week!
