Not a bad bargain

Well done, I went hunting the bargains today but there were next to no plants on sale at all.

ah, well i did get this cos i work in the supermarket!

£1.49 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bargain

might not have chosen pink but i wasnt going to let this one go!
nice new avatar GM.

Bet you've been busy Sticki..I can't believe how manic it gets just for a couple of days.

quiet today pimpernel but the previous week was busy ~ which is good!! i like the buzz, managers come down and help too, i like that sort of team work.

but you get the same dont you?

Nice one Sticki :))))))))))))

thanks paul

LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOl!! Managers helping.. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Lol.. how funny was that.

:)))))))))))

Nice! Ha ha I deliver chill in to three of the big four, I got cheap heathers and ferns from Mmmm...can't say, no free advertising ;)

pimpernel its true!! but probably only happens in the christmas rush and odd other occasions,

severnside we are not regarded as one of the big four.

Good quality one though yours Sticki

yes true pimpernel ~ i like it!!

Glad you do Sticki :)

it helps!!!

Great bargain!

a great bargain Sticki. :-)

Good bargain Sticki very pretty :)

Too good to miss I thought pixi, surreylad and sue!

Quite pleased for £1.49!!!!!!!!!

Understatement of the year surely!

Deffo! Very pretty :)

did well didn't i!!!

I'd have been happy with that find!

easier to find when you work there!!

Ohhhh, I see - they let you loose with the "reduction label making machine"!!!!!!

ah, well, yes sometimes although it wasnt me that did this one.

That's one of the best thing about Waitrose - when they reduce, they do it properly!

glad you approve.

How could anyone not approve of the sweet potato falafels being reduced to 19pence!

great bargain sticki, well done and beautifull to :o))

was that at the end of the day?

thanks sanbaz!

Yup!
Have you tried them?

no, i know exactly the things you mean though, someone else told me they were good.
made by delicatez?

They're the ones! Really good.........

there was one packet left this morning ~ i know cos it was my job to count some of the stock.
might see what there is tomorrow!!!

what do you eat them with?

made a different salad tonight ~ fennel, radish, cucumber, red onion and slices of orange with a seasoned dressing of red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, nice and crunchy.

oh and a pud of cherry compote [out of jar] topped with a layer of ratafia biscuits and then chocolate mousse ~ made by me.

Funnily enough, with salad.

I did the coconut custard the other day - don't use brown sugar as the colour was rather unappealing!!

but it tasted good??

i made parsnip soup the other day [sorry if i told you this one before] put bacon and a little bit of stilton in ~ nice!!

1 large red or white onion, thinly sliced

2 fresh green chillies, thinly sliced

1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

1/2 fresh mango, peeled and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander

1 tablespoon olive or sunflower oil

1 teaspoon fennel seeds

salt to taste

Method

Combine everything in a bowl, adding salt to taste. Cover and chill for up to 24 hours.

From the Curry Club..

Sorry, I butted in then...Seriously good salad

i like the idea of mango in there ~ how hot is a bell pepper?

thanks pimpernel.

i have decided how to do my recipe book challenge

problem ~ too many options/recipes/cookery books ~ cant find the recipe i want quickly.

solution ~ going to try at least one new recipe from book or magazine per day [roughly] and put a copy of this in a folder ~ with notes on how to improve etc.

all good recipes welcome pimpernel

Bell Pepper is just a green pepper.

that is not a chilli or a thai or a sweet pepper???

No..an ordinary green pepper.

ok, thanks actually that is handy cos i wanted some red and yellow peppers but at the moment to get a mixed bag you have to have green ~ now i have a use for it!!!

I would have to leave the mango out (can't stand fruits in salads, toms excepted), but I could add watercress........

I normally find Mango to perfume ish. But it works in this one.

I wouldnt like to mention the word predictable meanie but I had a sneaking suspicion you wouldn't like fruit mixed in, bit like variegated for you?! I like fruit in with meat too, pork and prunes or apricots, duck with orange, cherries or plums etc.

in one of the stores yesterday, looked at the £14 orchids & thought "no" I want a Sticki bargain !! besides, I have a cymbidium in spike at the moment ( I'll pop a photo ) that is an excellent deal btw!!

lucky me eh???

hope you find one bampy.

I was expecting to see loads of them left over from christmas...I think they must have got them in on a sale or return basis..as there are non in at all.

maybe they reduced them before christmas pimpernel, and they went in the panic buying?

What a beautiful bargain!!! Lucky you!

My mouth is wide open! I am mega jealous! That is the best bargain ever!!

yep, lucky me!!
