Cheap treats
Earlier this afternoon, I got an urgent missive from my dad over Yahoo messenger: according to my mum, my favourite, ridiculous, childish breakfast cereal – which is NEVER on offer – was on offer at the supermarket – half price!
John and I were supposed to be having an “us time” evening tonight as we’ve not seen each other much lately – buying huge amounts of breakfast cereal is a dream date activity for me ;)
We bought 12 boxes! They should keep me going for about six months (the expiry date is in 2012 so plenty of time).
We also bought some other cheap treats:
- John likes Innocent smoothies but they’re pretty expensive usually – they too were half price though.
- And so were Party Rings (not pictured) – another of his twisted little addictions ;)
- A reduced to clear trifle – from £2.70 to £1.15
- A reduced to clear chocolate cake – from £3.00 to £1.45
- A bag of hazelnuts (not pictured), discounted from £2 to 50p – not many but hopefully enough to make a small quantity of my own Nutella – or just to toast and nibble.
We bought some real food too – including a reduced to clear loaf (down to 15p from £1.20), which we’ll have with soup for lunch tomorrow – but that’s not as fun or exciting as cheap treats ;)
