On Bargains

So we went to that there asda tonight at 9:30pm. It's an entertaining time to go shopping as a) you can park, b) there's nobody there and c) there's the exciting uncertainty of being unable to get to the shelves you want for all the pallets of stuff.

There be also the bargain factor. Where asda realises they have a pallet of something with a sell by date that expires in 2 1/2 hours time. Result: it's all 1p!

Today's fuc up er, error was fresh pineapples. Trays and trays of pineapples. Nothing wrong with them, just a date saying that this fruit that has gone half way round the bloody planet must be sold or destroyed by midnight. We bought three.

I just hope it doesn't turn out as bad as the other day. That was ready to use vegetables for idle bastards, er, busy professionals. Again, perfectly fresh, 1p, and it would be a crime to waste them. It also ties in with my cunning plan of "5 a day" vegetable based meal torture in the hope of losing weight**

Trouble is, when you get to day four of leek, potato and sweede based culinary delight, well, it starts to feel a bit like xmas but without wallace and gromit reruns.

** It's very boring, but does work. I don't know how much weight I've lost, but can confirm it works as my belt has moved 4 notches in the smaller direction.
