How to Shop Like a Man

Quote of the moment:
"The requested URL was not found on this server..." - Podgy is missing (neither here nor here), presumed snatched by the Thought Police. I went to the extreme lengths of a comic strip to illustrate my theory.

In other news, Claire brought homemade flapjacks to our final lecture today. I had 4. This granted me "loved" status for appreciating her cooking. Lol. Might also have been to do with me losing abysmally in a Gair Rhydd Su Doku race with her. She's promised chocolate muffins next week. Woohoo!

I went hardcore shopping today, cycling to Tesco Extra armed with my CCF backpack:

Note the tasteful kitchen decor
How to shop like a real man: no quiche here...

Yes, REAL Rice Krispies. They were on BOGOF for the same as Tescos, and I wanted 2 packs anyway
There was a bag of apples that I omitted in my decorative unpacking effect and were lurking behind the Rice Krispies.

Just for starters, the cider (on offer, w00t!), excluding cans, weighed 10.5 kilograms... another 3.5 for the tins, 3 for the squash, 6 for the apple juice... all in in all it was about 35kg, plus a few bits (bread, eggs, salad(!) etc) for Steve. In exchange I was using Steve's bike (my back wheel needs spanners, it's so out of line it's lodged against the frame) which was set just a touch low for me... At least I worked out where the icy patch in the carpark was on the way in, by doing an awesome (unintentional) motocross-style slide round the corner it was on!

I know. I haven't been able to speak to her yet, but I don't know where her blogs have gone. Anyway, will go back and read the rest of your blog now!

Lol. Notice a) the beer, b) the custard creams, and c) the bourbons. Fattie. And no, don't you dare poke my belly.

Hehe... they're for sharing though :p Honest. Well, I might share the booze 8-)

And what's with the Tesco value? Sorry. I'm really picky about Tesco value:$ LOL, not that it really matters I suppose.. Tis all the same when it comes out the other end. [sigh]

Will said...

tis CHEAP. Most of its the same when it goes in the tins too, like the baked beans.

yeah tesco value is amazing - 7p bread, 16p spaghetti, you can't lose dudes... life's too short... buy cheap but possibly crap food, we're all going to look crap when we're old... at least you'll have money left over for anti-wrinkle cream... or hospital...

Will said...

Lol... or alternatively, to buy booze, as demonstrated. I haven't downgraded to value bread yet, but no doubt I will. Never had much of an issue with it at school.

Surely this is tempting yourself too much, reading other blogs? Are you not having the week off to concentrate on essays? :p
