I think its a loss leader. Tempt you in to buy your veg and you'll buy the rest of your stuff at the same time. They do it every year, each shop trying to undercut the others. In a few years time veg will be free - but all the other stuff will have gone up lots!

Afternoon, finished all my shopping yesterday! Absolutely no sprouts at all anywhere locally. Neighbour was out and about this morning trying to get them. We finally got them last night in good old Marks. Sprouts...I mean that's a Christmas staple whether you like them or not!
Not leaving the house now until Boxing Day and I have a rotten cough developing...great!
Anyhoo, enjoy the rest of your evening.sigpic

Absolutely exhausted. I had to do 90% of my shopping today. I'm one pressie short. My eldest sons girlfriend isn't a girlie girl and I have no idea whatsoever as to what to get her. It dawned on me after I got home that a gift voucher and an explanation why would work. I'll see if I can get one tomorrow.
I now know that shopping at the last moment concentrates the mind. You stop prevaricating and decide "that'll do, if they don't like it, tough".
Having said that I did take more care over the grand and great grand children.
Tomorrow is a production line of wrapping on the dining room table. Which reminds me, it's easy to find the paper but I couldn't find ribbon."I prefer rogues to imbeciles as they sometimes take a rest" (Alexander Dumas)

Good evening, raining quite heavy here now, but was a reasonably dry day, with some warm sunshine, had a quiet morning, went for a walk with a neighbour then washed the car, and boy was it mucky,then went out to a GC for a meal, we went via the back roads, which were a lot quieter, and as its Christmas time I let OH pay Well going to be busy, over the next two days, might not be back on till the 26th. so try to help one another keep safe and have a peaceful time, and remember what Christmas is really about. Goodnightit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

Mornin n'alln'all
We're having unseasonably warm wether here...clearly absolutely no chance of sner .
Today we shall mostly be decorating our second tree (probably whilst consuming a glass or two of fizz) playing Xmas songs, making mince pies ( probably with another glass of fizz) and starting a jigsaw!
Always a simple supper tonight...a fillet steak butty...oh and more fizz
Me thinks I may be either a tad fizzy later...or fuzzy...
Parsnips and carrots need to be dug up later....
Have a great day peeps!"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Morning Everyone!
Very grey and windy here this morning, and that's just me not only the weather
Just one more thing to do, and that's to get myself a little "Christmas Pudding" and some Brandy butter as no one else in the house like it, oh! and a few cretes of ale whilst I'm at it, then back home to the warmth and let the "festivities" begin.
Oh and one more thing!
"Merry Christmas" everybody!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"
