It’s been
some time since I last shared some of my random thoughts with you, so here
goes...
I’ve been
enjoying the indulgence of the variety of little desserts that come under the
heading ‘Pot Of Joy’ (current favourite Terry’s Chocolate Orange), but feel
that there may have been a mistake with the labelling. I think it should read
‘Pot For Joy’, then they could all be mine!
Whilst
out shopping recently, I bought an item that for some reason proceeded to
set off the alarms in nearly every store that I subsequently entered. Annoying?
Yes. But what was actually quite worrying was that in none of the shops that I
visited did anyone check what was causing the problem. I could have been
walking out with half their stock for all they knew!
So much for
Tesco’s new, permanently low prices. Some of the targeted items that I’d
started buying in the store have risen by as much as 40p during recent weeks.
Granted, some products are still cheaper than elsewhere, but is this the start of
a slippery slope, reverting back to higher prices quite quickly?
Talking of
Tesco, I’m thoroughly frustrated with their freezer arrangement in my local
store. The items seem to be displayed using some sort of spring-loaded system,
meaning that if you select an item that you subsequently want to put back, you
can’t fit it in. Even selecting an item in the first place makes you feel like
you’re under attack – it’s a worrying experience.
Believe it
or not, I’ve only recently discovered wine boxes! I often enjoy a glass of wine
with the evening meal, sometimes adding a splash to a dish that I’m cooking,
and I like to have a bit in reserve should visitors descend. I previously made
sure that I had a bottle or two in stock, but after being given a box of wine
as a present I’ve been converted. With boxes containing the equivalent of
between three and six bottles of wine and lasting some six weeks after opening
(keeping fresh, not magically refilling) they can be a handy, cost-effective
buy. I’ve not been tempted to drink more because of the discovery; it’s just
nice to know there’s enough to offer round if unexpected guests arrive!
