ive found if i pour basics fresh orange into our juice jug and put in the fridge there is no moaning about the value juice - it looks posher
and the value biscuits?
yes i do the same put them in a glass cookie jar and hey presto no whining about cheap biscuits-they all get eaten
with no moaning- why does packaging make people feel so different about a product?
does anyone ever feel conscious while shopping if your trolly is full of the basics?

No I have give up worrying about what others think, it makes me laugh when you see people shopping in lidl and then they put the shopping in Waitrose bags - probably just for show for the neighbours.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the jug from Sammie I have been hunting everywhere for one of those? xx
I don't care either I had to laugh I saw someone filling up marks and sparks bags with shopping the other night too lol, the jug I got in one of the pound shops some while ago but have seen them recently I think in poundworld

Ok thankyou x
DeleteI am too busy being gobsmacked by how much expensive prepared food most people pile into their trolleys to care what they think of my choices. I hope that they keep on that way and keep well away from the reduced section where I mainly shop.
ReplyDeletei know its unbelievable Pam, my battle is always the Asians filling their trolleys with everything, and i dont mean to sound horrible by that but its the truth

I do like the jug you have for the fridge. I'll have to keep a look out for one like it. I'm not good with juice cartons and end up spilling everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI don't bother feeling conscious of my shopping anymore, except for cheap tinned potatoes. Horrid things but not once I have transformed them into Homity Pie. 😊 X
im terrible with cartons and this jug fits nicely in the fridge, i dont either its my money and i shall spend it how i like, and snigger at the fools paying for over priced food

That made me laugh. My daughter used to be mortified if she had a 'Lidle Yoghurt' in her packed lunch. I emptied it into a little plastic tupperware type tub and she was happy.
DeleteGreat idea for teens, although you shouldn't have to disguise them at all but I understand completely how it is when they reach a certain age. I remember as a child I would have been horrified if one of my mates had spotted my mom with an Aldi carrier bag, they would have taken the mick for weeks!
ReplyDeletemy son knows we use some basic things, but i find we go through alot of juice and biscuits so cutting the pennies help, oh dear i know i put sons swimming things in a poundland bag once oops i wasnt thinking at the time it got swapped to a posher one,a bag for life :)
