Soft I love them I prefer them they’re there is like a crust on them but it’s not that hard crust that you know break your teeth as you bite into them so I got two packets of them so we’ll have some today and some tomorrow might even make up the tuna

Actually put it on the sandwich then I also picked up their real food Easter magazine these do have lovely stuff in them um lovely recipes like and it’s always worth if you’re if you’re passing by to pick them up they have some great Easter feast air fryer spinach and

Repaint them that’s stuck my poor thumbs in BS it broke and the nail varnish chip so picked up some of them now for anys that know the Saga that was at Christmas about the quick set gel I could not find it for love nor money love nor money

Free milk now I did get five of them I’ve left three of them out the other two are in the thing in the fridge but the date on them is the 4th of April so happy out with that and today is the 23rd of March so happy out with that

They last Haley only drinks lactose free milk as well so yeah they’ll get through them and then as a treat for everybody we got some Cab’s cream eggs the 10 pack which are five of the cream eggs and five of the caramel eggs didn’t need

That their bus do you know what if I ran if I lived My Life by what I didn’t need I’d have an awful barding life right lad so I hope you enjoyed that shop with me as you can see I had to break it up because of the milk and

Stuff but um way over budget but not as far over I’m about 100 I spent this week probably 130 we say 140 which isn’t too bad considering all four adults are in the house house um so I didn’t think that was too bad and a bit of a couple of

Treats in as well so happy out right Lads I will talk to you in my next one take care of yourselves bye-bye

  1. I love the perfume for the car…. I have car air fresheners a lot in my car, due to my terrible smoking habit. I sure want to quit sometime soon for sure. Thanks for sharing your haul video as always.

  2. Your meat is still running cheaper than Vegas. Bread and pastries as well. And the prepared food kills me. So much more appealing than here. Some produce us still cheaper there. This summer produce especially fruit will be a bargain here. Got pints of blackberries this week for $.89 each. They were gorgeous.

    Kills me though that you buy mash. Lol.

    The cheese. I want all of the cheese!

    You can safely eat bagged lettuce. Ton of recalls on that here right now for contamination.

    Par baked rolls would be $4.99 here. I bake at least twice a week. Rotator cuff surgery Monday so six weeks of being immobilized and no cooking or doing anything. Bummer.

    Nuts are a good price.

    Again with the cheese. Wow.

    The ribs look great. Just the meat uncooked would be $9.99 or so.

    Eggs about the same.

    It appears it is so much cheaper to just buy prepared food there.

    Cereal is cheaper too. Milk as well even though it is subsidized here to keep prices up for farmers.

    Second half: The rolls here would be about $.89 each and awful.

    Gels are a value there. Irish Cadbury. Yummmmm!

  3. I may have to add head massage before the battles of grocery shopping. I could try and convince my family it’s for them I do this! 😂❤

  4. What a lovely shop that cake with custard so yum funny when I baked with mum she always said when trying a new cake recipe if the cake doesn't turn out right we can always have custard on it but mums cakes always came out right and mum never had scales to weigh the ingredients I love aldi for shopping and Iceland love fran xxxxx
