Dear Diary!

i have found some of savers toiletries are actually cheaper than poundland. i do go in and have a mooch. i think iceland has taken over FF. we are a big city with different regions having their own shops so have a good choice. i have to go where they deliver and shop online for the weekly shop. ive done it for about 4 years. i tend not to spend too much as im not roving around the aisles.

Yes I’ve used Savers in the past - sadly boo for us living in posh Surrey land now tho - we don’t have local access to these bargain shops 😢 I’m thankful for Olio - I often pick up things on my way home from seeing mum. All left out on someone’s doorstep in a box with my name on. Completely free, preventing waste and often the fresh veggies which I like aren’t snapped up!

I also have a range of ethnic supermarkets.

That reminds me of a remark my stepmother once made as we drove through an area with a high proportion of Polish people. She pointed out the names of some of the shops and said wonderingly “ why are there so many shops selling polish?”

Never mind FF for blueberries.
Just had a surprise free delivery in my back garden
