I don't normally buy frozen broccoli and cauliflower, thought I would give them a try. Danish blue cheese was on offer, only buy it occasionally. Not had flavoured yogurts for a long while, a treat. No reduced bread tonight except a couple of white loaves. I don't eat white bread so I paid full price for a seeded brown loaf. Trying the Value veg sausages to see if they are like the more expensive brands. I will be giving some of the bananas away, share with a friend, and making up the carrots, swede, and parsnips into curries and stews and freeze them in portions. I managed to ignore the cakes and biscuits. And I gave away a couple of home made shopping bags to two very happy ladies.
That's all for now. It's midnight and I'm off to bed. Goodnight.
I can't remember the last time we got prices that low! well done x
ReplyDeleteWith all the excitement of that many yellow stickers i'm not surprised you forgot your soya milk.

What great haul. I wondered what you were going to do with all those bananas. When I have squishy bananas I make banana bread and give it to my daughter, but I know you don't bake so its lovely that you're giving some away to friends. A tip for cooking the frozen cauliflower and broccoli, be careful not to overcook it because it tends to go mushy quite quickly.
ReplyDeleteWow and so healthy food for the soul
ReplyDeleteWow!! Some amazing bargains there. I was wondering what you were going to do with all those bananas, nice that you are sharing your good fortune, do your friends reciprocate?
ReplyDeleteFreeze the excess bananas and use in baking banana bread or use 1/2 mashed banana instead of an egg when baking (up to 3 eggs only). I often buy the "brown" bananas, as they are much cheaper, just for that purpose. We have someone in the family who is "deathly" allergic to eggs.

I peel bananas if i have plenty wrap in cling film and freeze. They make a gorgeous ice lolly type treat when its warm. Well done on the bargains. Laura Xx
ReplyDeleteBeverley here; frozen bananas are great in smoothies along with assorted berries! They give a smoothie that creamy texture especially if you include a dollop of non fat yogurt and some milk
