Bloggers may have good reason to do this, if they have been plagued by a troll, or if they don't want someone that is personally known to them, to find them. If you have been a regular reader of Jane's blog you will know that she has gone down this route, she gave us notice of the date. I sent her an email so I can read her blog, you could do the same.

In the clearance section, there were dozens of brilliant bargains - packs of 4 tins of tuna for 35p, bags of rice for 20p, coffee at a quarter of the usual price, gluten free pasta for pennies and more. And they weren't anywhere near the best by date either. I pointed a few other customers in that direction. <br /><br />Beautiful photos.SusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-87039004802279799992015-02-08T21:27:06.256+00:002015-02-08T21:27:06.256+00:00Amazing sunset photos, reminds me of the old sayin...Amazing sunset photos, reminds me of the old saying "red sky at night, Shepherd's delight" your photos were certainly delightful. Spoke with my sister in Glossop, Derbys and they still have a white winterland with snow♥ Envious of your yellow stickers, did I say I was envious:) Food prices are ridiculously high here, we've started going Aldi and the savings are fantastic, we still have to use one of the large supermarkets but it's worth the two trips to save money.
