My Black Friday

Black Friday seems to have evolved over the past couple of years and has manic shoppers out looking for bargains.  As I have now finished my gift shopping and don't really need anything I didn't want to venture out.  Instead opting to do my supermarket shop Thursday evening.  I was impressed by the amount of yellow stickers throughout the store with varying amounts off.  The fruit and veg with yellow stickers were in abundance.  I picked up 10 packets of tomatoes costing 10p/8p/7p depending on the variety.  10 packets for less than the cost of one.

 

It was quite amazing, there was the odd tomato that was soft but the bulk were in perfect condition.  I chopped them down and softened them in the frying pan with some onions and seasoning, before putting them into the oven to roast. 

 

 

I now have several containers all ready for soup/stews/sauces.  I also picked up several bags of apples which I cooked down ready to go with the pork over the festive period.  A couple of apple cakes were also made for the freezer ready for visitors.

 

 

There were lots of other yellow stickers that I didn't get, my freezers are bulging at the seams with all of the things I have made already so it would just have been a waste.   A great haul so that I could avoid the rush, can't be bad!

 

I have made a start on another zigzag blanket.  A red/burgundy one, this time for Honey when they go to Disneyland Paris in the New Year.  I intend to crochet a Minnie Mouse on it for her.

 

 

I won't be around for a few days as I am heading down to Amie's they are having a few days away to celebrate their wedding anniversary.  We are blessed to have the privilege of looking after Bertie and Honey, I am so excited.   Amie has booked an afternoon tea for us for tomorrow at a vintage tea room, I will of course take lots of photos and share them with you when I get back.

Did you get any bargains on Black Friday?

See you soon.
