400g Mushrooms 89p From Sainsburys

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Sep 19, 2022 7:47 pm

A bargain, that. And very tasty, too!

Their cheapo beer, 4 440ml cans for £1, is nae bad, also.

Saved 'bout £5 a week on teh shoppin' switching from Morrisons to Sainsburys, which surprises me, as I thought Morrisons were meant to be competitive on prices.

Morrisons are owned by some hedge fund or something now, so they presumably have to jack up all their prices to pay back all the loans that funded the buyout

I just go to Sainsbury's because it's the closest. Things have definitely gotten more expensive but I just turn my ears off when they say what the price is and wave my card at them until they let me leave with my grapes and aubergine pasta

Graaaaaaaah! I've just remembered I posted a similar thread to this just over two weeks ago. Durrrrr!

Post by **vom** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 9:41 am

I think I probably posted the same thing in response

Post by **vom** » Tue Sep 20, 2022 9:41 am

I'm not checking though

Good man!

You should shop at Spar in 1977 for maximum value

That spar yoghurt seems to come pre-spilled

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Sep 22, 2022 7:53 pm

Ha! That's what my eyes were telling me, too!

Post by **richschnauzer** » Thu Sep 22, 2022 10:03 pm

As I remember, they had a crappy plastic stem and base that broke really easily

fed up with your kids? Get pissed and feel better.

No Laudanum? This'll do at a pinch

I presume Sanatogen tonic wine helpfully comes in half-sized bottles that are easy to hide throughout the house.

Sainsbury's Oaty Biscuits (300g) - 36p
McVitie's Oaty Hobnobs (255g) - £1.20p

And this is why we need a sexy Stalin to sort things out.

I got "chocolate brownie" hobnobs for 44p last time I was hobnob shopping, due to "mysterious promotion"

they're not as nice as the milk or (especially) dark chocolate ones but you can't argue with savings like that

go on, try

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 2:41 pm

all i eat is oven chips these days

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 2:41 pm

£1 per chip

Post by **vom** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 3:54 pm

have you tried dipping them in dark chocolate?

Wait, what?

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 7:20 pm

Dark chocolate is the dark web of chocolate, so be careful!

Post by **vom** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:34 pm

Never!

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 9:31 pm

they are whatever icelands cheapest oven chips are

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 9:31 pm

which is "crinkled" for some reason

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 9:31 pm

i assume crinkling improves the tastelessness of oven chips by a further 18%

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 9:32 pm

anyway they're still a pound but they've secretly made the packs a third smaller and hoped you wouldn't noticed but i noticed

Post by **dng** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 9:32 pm

maybe now i will become a third smaller

A fun-sized dng!

Even long pig is pricey, now. :'(

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Nov 04, 2022 8:42 pm

Just eaten a rocket ice lolly whilst wearin' a hat.

Post by **endar** » Fri Nov 04, 2022 9:11 pm

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Nov 05, 2022 2:22 am

It was n't. Are they nice?

i know everythings expensive these days but when i stopped at the services on the way back from cornwall today a burger meal from burger king cost 11 quid

Post by **dng** » Fri Nov 11, 2022 10:05 pm

i ate nothing

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Nov 12, 2022 2:36 am

11 poun? Lordy!

What would that've got you? A burger / fries / dip / a large coke?

Whatever, I'm still not paying 11 roubles for a burger meal, though!

Post by **dng** » Sat Nov 12, 2022 12:55 pm

as it was burger king, presumably you'd get two chips, a thimble of coke, and some flame grilled flakes in a stale bun

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 1:10 am

I've just eaten three cheap sossie rolls, and now feel a bit sick.

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 12:40 am

The 89p 400g mushrooms couldn't last. They're gawn.

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 1:25 am

I can't stop eating Pringles Spicy Chorizo crisps.

Unless they hoist the price back up to £2, in which case Sainsburys can sod orf.

Post by **vom** » Fri Nov 25, 2022 7:53 am

They are quite good aren't they

And vegetarian too, unlike ACTUAL chorizo which is barely even trying to win me over these days

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Nov 26, 2022 1:09 am

I haven't had any chorizo in years. I bet it costs £100 a slice, now!

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Aug 24, 2023 3:14 pm

I had a 1 poun Sainsburys thin and crispy pepperoni pizza for my lunner (lunch dinner).

It was surprisingly tasty.

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Aug 28, 2023 7:35 pm

Yesterday, a mate of mine said to me, get a bottle of Captain Morgan mango & pineapple rum, you'll really like it, and my response was some fairly vague positive-sounding umming and ahhhing.

But in reality, I'm not paying 18 puon for summat I might not like.

Am I a tight bugger?

I made naan breads the other day. I didn’t think they were all that good but my wife kept asking where I bought them from.

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Aug 29, 2023 7:11 pm

Maybe you bought them from... Naando's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!11!!!

Also: Good stuff, Pualvuss!

Post by **endar** » Wed Aug 30, 2023 1:14 am

i like Naan bread but is it as good as Centauri bread?
