Mooching round my local Booths this week I got 12 bottles of Stella for £3.75. Not my favourite beer by any means but as something too have in reserve to good to miss.
Same store had around 300 packs of buffalo mozzarella at 50p. I just couldn’t think what to do with them!!!!
More usefully I picked up four organic chickens for £3.38 each. Two roast dinners, one chicken pie for two, a lunch sandwich and some stock for freezing from each. Three Ukrainian rye loaves down from £2.25 to 49p.
I love Booths as a store and genuinely worry about their future. Sadly we can’t afford the full prices on a regular basis. I guess I’m of some use as a customer happy to hoover up the bargains.

Was the ukrainian bread from the Kolos bakery @PaulSB ?
Buffalo mozzarella is a regular visitor to the YS cabinet in my local Co-op. Keeps really well as long as you don't open it. It's lush in a salad with tomato, basil and avocado, with a bit of salt & pepper and some olive oil drizzled over.

A pack of 2x Ostrich quarter pounders, reduced to a quid at Iceland.
They've got a Best Before date in August too, but with a BBQ planned for tonight I doubt they'll last that long...

Cool. It's lovely bread - always had it when I was growing up. Can't get it here unfortunately, but have managed to create a similar (home baked) loaf.

Really good yellow sticker hunting in Tesco this afternoon. Just me, Tall Guy and Mr Moustache in a store pretty devoid of punters - we were really lucky with the weather compared to most. When the other regulars aren't there, they're really friendly and things are very civilized. Loads to be had across the board today (bit thin on the veg front, but one can't have everything) so plenty of choice. Really chuffed with my haul - barring milk, won't need to do anything in the way of grocery shopping for a good fortnight. A few things didn't make the pics - like the kilo of vintage cave-aged cheddar for £4.50 and the large tins of royal wedding shortbread at £2 a pop...
P.S. The smoked salmon sammich was very tasty - especially at 25p LOL

Top tip if you like yellow stickering Little Waitrose in petrol stations always have loads, really poor product selection for a petrol station terrible waste. Saw a bloke with three bags for less than three quid, he was apologising to the cashier "honestly I just come in for a ready meal on the way home from work and it's too tempting". Took an age to process lol

Not so much yellow sticker bargains but occasionally, maybe once a year, Asda sell Castrol GTX fully synthetic oil cheap...like £11.50 for 4ltr of 5w30. You struggle to buy cheap oil for that kind of money.
My cars due a service. Asda have just put it on offer...duly brought some last night.

Resurrecting (apt considering it's nearly Easter) this thread by popular request...
Weektime yellow sticker lurk in Tesco tonight. Just me, Mr Moustache, Tall Guy, Elderly Couple and Cyclist. Haven't seen the couple and the cyclist for a while.
Not terribly much to be had outside of the bakery, just one case of chilled stuff (most of that was ready meals) and three cases of fruit and veg (mostly bagged salads and potatoes). But the deli counter and damaged goods bin turned up trumps - always pays to turn up before the others LOL!
Was quick and sharp enough to bag a ribeye steak, half a kilo of cheddar cheese, yoghurts, mixed olives and antipasti, coleslaw, mushrooms, pears, avocados, dark chocolate, a bag of jam doughnuts, sourdough bread, croissants and enough buns to feed an army.
Best buy were the six 100g bars of 70% dark chocolate at 15p a bar (short-dated) and the olives and antipasti off the deli counter - £25-worth for £2.
Also figured out why the Green & Black chocolate I bought last week was on clearance even though it still had more than a year to run on the date. Shelf says "NEW! £2"... Bloomin' bars are now 10% smaller... Ah well, at least I stocked up. Another buy earlier in the week was a stash of tins of tomato paste at 12p a tin.
