This snap taken today of the Tesco Metro in the main street. Tesco return to our high-street after nearly 15 years.
The new store is due to open next week 16th December 2009.
Funny how this thread is taking shape isn't it. Should we have a thread in the forum for the cheapest basic food lines? Makes sense. With millie's post that makes an amazing saving over a year!
let me know what you all think... what can it be called? Price watch ? credit crunchy ?
Perhaps also incorporate when shops have offers on - buy one get one free, specials on basics etc if you spot them? Nancy and I are always on the look out for when cat food comes on offer, as having five cats, it costs us a fortune! I think 'credit crunchy' is a good title.
Something my mother had problems with was the same as my aunt, and now myself... if I am not careful in buying, so much food has to be thrown out, as it passes the sell by or the eat by dates. All very well having packaging of twenty white rolls or whatever, but they simply do not last, freezing is supposed to be possible, but what comes out is inedible. The whole process comes down to only cooking what is wanted, as we get FED UP with digging out of the freezer the same old meal week after week. I think that the 'credit crunchy' is an excellent idea for many people, I can see. Oi'll give it foive. (who remembers that ?)
Incidentally, a good site is at .... http://www.retail-prices.co.uk/rp1/default.aspx
but as is usual with this type of thing, the average person does not normally trudge around getting a few pence off here and there,
unless some kind of shopping rota is envisaged.
For those that have/use cars, Driving between outlets only adds to the petrol (etc) bill and the subsequent food bill, a fact often ignored by many I know who revel in what they have saved, until I remind them that it cost them a pound or so to actually get the product.
My cat calls meals 'meat', 'breakfast', 'bit of lunch' 'tea', 'supper', recognises all dem woids. In the main his eyes say it all ... 'me dish is empty, squire'. Has stuck with dry foods all these 11 years, progressed from Hill's Science to Whiskas. Have shown him 'wet food', wonders why I am trying to poison him look follows. Costs every bit of £2.41 a week, and he's worth every penny.
