Late Night Bargains.

[SparklyKid]

My nice neighbour goes to Morrisons every night for the reduced bargains.
She gets some for us. Some meals originally priced at £3.50 are knocked down to 10p.

You can get a weeks supply of food for under £2, if you could be bothered.

Personally, I could not do with the hassle, but she loves doing it.

I find there's no social distancing at these bargain corners in supermarkets. I was looking through one this week and someone pushed in next to me within inches of my face and then squeezed between me and the bargains.. I left her to it.

Hi FF, that is the reason I will not do it.

There was a programme on the telly, some time ago about a woman who lived off all the bargains.

She knew which shops to go to and when, she never paid full price if she could help it.

I'm not a fan of martial sports, which is what I consider fighting for reduced bargains to be. I'm not interested in buying food that several daysworth of shoppers have declared to be not good enough for them.

[SparklyKid]

Not something I would do but, tonights dinner costs 20p.

We have a friend who's never bought a full price clothing item,she loves the 'scrum of the Sales' I couldn't be arrised !

[SparklyKid]

Hi Bobbs, me neither.

I can understand people who are really hard up doing it

Thank God I'm not in a situation where I need to

[SparklyKid]

My neighbour enjoys doing it, more like a hobby than a necessity.

you'd be surprised how many 'well off' people like a good bargain.

Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves.

Although I'm very comfortably off I still enjoy spending many hours every August picking lovely free blackberries. Some would say it's a hassle but I enjoy it so i can see why some love the Bargain shelf

APG. You are so right. The really rich landed gentry in our part of the world (as opposed to nouveaux rich) are the meanest with their money. They love bargains and regularly shop in Lidls and Aldi. Same with clothing. Their children were the poorest dressed in the primary school where I worked. They also drive the oldest cars (bangers, not vintage).

Running any household is the nearly the same strategy as running a small business, you have incomings and outgoings, get it right and it can be successful, save were you can save, because there's always comes a time when a problem arises were you have no choice but to through money at that problem to solve it, or fix it.
So many people fall down because they don't have the knowledge of basic home economics,, when you have it look after it.
