used TESCOS this week.

thoughts...

- saw a record high tuna price, 4 tins for £8.39. ooosh.
- also noticed some alarmingly expensive ham, £3.18 for 4 slices. wuuuut?
- been getting well into OREOS again. 49p a pack, yes please.
- Sunpride mango joice, 50p for a liter. cashback.
- cornettos, 4-packs, properly cheap, but they're not the fucking proper ones, the twats. not on.

what've you been buyin', lads?

Tesco Everyday Value Cashew Nuts - A Warning

I thought I'd cheap out; they're nuts, they can't be much different? Fuck knows where they found these dried out skinny excuses for cashew nuts.

Bought some "Silly Straws" last night (impulse buy)

...And as i sat Alone in my flat last night drinking a bottle of Large Bottle of Red Kola using them, with no TV or Music on just staring at the wall, I got really angry at myself for what I have become and threw the Silly Straws out the window

I noticed this week that the Sainbos "Taste the Difference" ham hock and mature cheddar sammich

is EXACTLY THE SAME as Tesco's "Finest" ham hock and mature cheddar sammich. Even the bread is the fucking same. And they both have ale chutney.

plasticniki | 2 Aug '13, 15:04 | X
- now THIS is news
  
  alcxxk @plasticniki | 2 Aug '13, 15:07 | X
- This information is nothing without a price comparison.
  
  Balonz @plasticniki | 2 Aug '13, 15:08 | X
  
  thewarn this'd this
  - Sainsbos one is included in their £3 lunch deal,but the RRP is £2.95 IIRC.
    
    I didn't see the price of the Tesco one unfortunately. They're even in the same PAPER FUCKING PACKET.
    
    plasticniki @Balonz | 2 Aug '13, 15:12 | X
    - Please
      
      I don't want any more details, I just want the prices.
      
      Balonz @plasticniki | 2 Aug '13, 15:16 | X
      - Fucking HELL Balonx.
        
        You'll have to wait. I'm nowhere near a Tesco.

        I'm going to one after work but the sandwich gondola is out of my way.
        
        Balonz @plasticniki | 2 Aug '13, 15:19 | X
        
        Gondola
        
        :D
        
        plasticniki @Balonz | 2 Aug '13, 15:22 | X
        
        I thought a gondola would be any end of aisle thing but maybe not quite. I should have gone with endcap.

- Not sure the Tesco one is eligible for meal deal though
  
  Whereas the Sainsburys ones definitely are.

Made a rare trip to Waitrose this week

as I was cooking this for the ladyfriend

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pastawithcourgettesa_93036

They wanted £4 for 200g of Rigatoni! Outrageous.

(I don't do the weekly shop so this is as far as I go supermarket wise)

- I can ignore sammich
  
  but sainbos??
  
  it's Sainos - you know this

      stickboy @alcxxk | 2 Aug '13, 15:11 | X
  - great recipe that
    
    often just have the pasta and courgette sauce without the spinach balls. Might chuck in some creme fraiche or some cream cheese, maybe some withered cashew nuts, see how I feel really.
    
    Balonz @olegrich | 2 Aug '13, 15:11 | X
  - I'm sorry but "Sainos" just sounds awful.

    - nah , normally id let this fly
      
      but no
      
      if you're keeping the B then you have to keep the S before

- Not been liking the trend for boxes of limited edition Magnums, cornettos etc...
  
  Which when you open them are FUCKING TINY.

    harru @MrBones | 2 Aug '13, 15:17 | X
- Just got 3 mature cheddar cheeses for the price of 1 at co-op
  
  900g of brand cheese for £4 quid, yeah go on then.
  
  Also paid Costco a visit today. They have vending machines with 750ml bottles of mineral water for 25p, they should have these in more places and the likes of WHSmith should be ashamed.

  - can you please check the price of the finest ham hock and mature cheddar sandwich?
    
    thanking you kindly.
    
    plasticniki @Yesiamaduck | 2 Aug '13, 15:23 | X
    - I'm going to Asda, not Sainsbury's!
      
      however I do seem to recall they're £3 each or part of the £3 meal deal... so go for the meal deal instead of buying the sandwich alone.
      
      Yesiamaduck @plasticniki | 2 Aug '13, 15:24 | X
      - FUCKING HELLLLLLLL
        
        plasticniki @Yesiamaduck | 2 Aug '13, 15:27 | X
        
        Not good news? :(

  - Maple and pecan crunch
    
    Sainsbury's - yes
    Tesco - no (why the fuck are you putting puffed rice in it?)

    - M&S Triple Chocolate Crunch is the best of all the crunches
      
      Make sure your pour the first bowlfull as it has LOADS of chocolate bits in and then whoever gets the second bowl, gets far less.
      
      meowington @Balonz | 2 Aug '13, 15:55 | X
- waitrose
  
  (yeah, yeah)
  
  has more broken fridge problems than all the supermarkets put together.

  - My girlfriend works there and is in charge of that sort of thing
    
    She says the fridges are constantly going mad as soon as it gets slightly warm outside
    
    urbanfox @foppyish | 2 Aug '13, 16:01 | X
- Waitrose
  
  a couple of quiches, some potatoes, some salad, and two 4packs of Staropramen.
  
  It's the second closest supermarket to where I work. The closest is Asda, which brings out the snob in me.

- Got some Extra Special, corn-fed, boned chicken thighs from Asda's
  
  For only slightly more than the normal breasts cost. Much more tasty.
  
  Ended up with some ready to eat chicken legs from Waitrose for lunch the other day. Absolutely disgusting.

- Morrisons better come good on the frozen spinach front this afternoon.
  
  Co-op and Saino's Local cane up short yesterday, so no spanakopita for Wza until tonight.
  
  TheWza | 2 Aug '13, 16:12 | X
  - Update:
    
    Frozen spinach: check. (Spanakopita was lush two nights running).
    
    Blue moon 4 pack was reasonably priced. As were Batemans and Williams Bros ales.
    
    Frijj ltd editions were on discount @ 75p. Not nearly as nice as the choc or fudge versions, though.
    
    TheWza @TheWza | 3 Aug '13, 22:00 | X
- Got me one of those sausage rolls with tomato sauce in it
  
  http://tinyurl.com/mawwgz6
  
  It's Peters sausage rolls and Heinz sauce but this could go either way really. Also available with HP brown sauce and ploughmans pickle. I'll report back.
  
  El_Goodo | 2 Aug '13, 16:15 | X
  - Please do!
    
    I've been looking forward to trying these.

- just bought some Cadburys fingers.
  
  a) they're smaller than they were before
