Price Crunch

Morrisons are purporting to sell 8 popular food items for 50p each. There is a store a couple of miles from where I live, so I’ll be popping over tonight to see if this deal is viable. Personally I suspect the publicity it has received means I’ll turn up at the store to find at least 6 of the 8 items completely sold out, because that kind of thing is just typical of special offers like this. I’ll also have a nose around for other bargains while I’m there and report back afterwards.

Food today has been museli, a packet soup from the cupboard for lunch (costing something like 30p and not at all filling), and tonight I’ll probably have a couple of baked potatos, because they need using and I’ve got plenty of toppings, like cheese and branston. Mmmm.

7pm: Back from Morrisons. Spent a grand total of £3.14. For this I got another load of bread, 16 sausages, 4 beef burgers, and a pack of white buns. I was so excited at the prospect of 12.5p burgers that I had two for tea. It was pretty much was I expected cheap quarter-pounders to be. They don’t taste the best but it’s a meal. I won’t make a habit of buying and eating these. The buns will be handy for lunch next week, and the bread will be handy for breakfast toast when the museli runs out.

    50p?!?! 50p for 4 burgers!? I don’t believe it.
    I wish there was a Morrisons near me, I’d grab a shed load of the stuff and freeze it all :)

    Ha! I saw that Morrison’s ad on TV last night and immediately thought of you. And then I, err, didn’t email you. Still hurrah!
