COVID-19 What have you managed to get during this Lockdown that you’ve been most excited about?

We have a small M&S food Hall near us they seem to have all the salad stuff and fruit we need. 2 bags of mixed salad today at 30p a bag, lots of reduced fruit and veg for the humans too. I'm happy the piggies will be happy when they get a change from grass and foraged weeds tonight, worth braving the rain for!
 
We have done all our shopping at M&S, no queues at all, fully stocked shelves and a warm welcome from the staff, it’s far better than queuing for Tesco and Morrison’s. You pay a little more but its worth it for now

Yesterday we had a delivery from ASDA. Hubby ordered 3 cucumbers for the piggies but it seemed they didn't have any and replaced it with 3 whole iceberg lettuce! I don't know how you can replace a cucumber with an iceberg lettuce. :doh: Hubby also ordered 2 bell peppers and they gave us chilli peppers! :hb: So we just gave the iceberg lettuce and the chilli peppers to our neighbours coz we don't have any use for them. :td:

We like ordering online from Tesco's because we can put a note for what we want as replacements in case they didn't have what we want. 👍

Oh no! Luckily all my piggies food came through including 3 bags of green beans I accidentally ordered instead of 2. Piggies won’t mind the extra :xd:

we also somehow got hotdogs we didn’t order, nor did they replace anything. None of us eat them but I’ll give them a try. :tu:

They are a little bit more expensive on somethings but I find they have so many reductions on end date things that I actually save money. The reduced end of date veg still lasts 3 or 4 days and is fresher than anything we can buy in the local fruit and veg shop.

My freezers are already full :xd: Anyway, as I don't bake much, I'm fine to shop around when my current 1kg bag gets low. Leave the big bags to those who need/can make use of them. I imagine they came from wholesalers who normally supply to the catering trade.
 
Try Lidl for normal bags of flour. I bought 2 bags of SR and 2 bags of Plain last weekend and there were loads of bags.
