but food will be thrown away no doubt,

I havnt had to big shop anything,neither have I been shopping for extra food,

Hayley its an observational thread nothing more I can't be bothered to goad

Well Mel, the above does normally have a lengthy shelf life, so I think you're talking cobblers if you think it has to be eaten within the next few days or it will be wasted.

I just think you're being unkind regarding that poor woman, really I do. and thats not very Christian is it ?
...and all the poor woman did was have a few bantering words with you at the checkout......what a shame.

Mildred all she had was that type of stuff she admitted it would not all be used in time

As for me giving my 2010 covanant is already done

i never had to do any christmas shopping
a really good friend turned up with a hamper for us as a gift
it had all of m&s best items
and was complete with Xmas cake christmas pudding ham cornbeef turkey spirits and chocolates etc etc
the list was endless

i am blessed with some wonderful friends

We normally do our weekly main shop on a Thursday (hubby's job permitting)
We shopped tonight and out bill came to around £190 - that included everyday things such as washing tablets, coffee & teabags. Milk bread cheese, cereal etc. Meals to cover the rest of the week. Then we bought meat for Xmas and boxing day, sweets, crisps & choccies, bottle of wine for Xmas lunch, Xmas pudding, various small cakes , sausage rolls, pork pies etc for Xmas & boxing day tea, Nice biscuits, coke, few cans of bitter for hubby & my dad, salad stuff etc.

Tomorrow we want to go to our Sainsbury's to get a few other bits we cant get in Tescos

Nothing will go to waste, and all wont be eaten in 2 days. Sweets & crisps & the like will last for most of the week if not longer. Why shouldn't we treat ourselves if we worked hard to pay for it ?

Why should I live on bread and dripping because other people are starving ?
it wont change the world and if i want to be picky I could say why don't you save your next tenner you waste on a gr subscription & send it to a charity for the starving to buy grain for a month instead

Well if theres any leftovers or out of date stuff in our house we feed the birds with it, its surprising what them big old crows eat lol

whatever Sylvia happy christmas

Mel - what makes you think that a trolley full of food will be wasted. I had a trolley full yesterday and I can assure you nothing will go to waste. I have a large gathering all day Christmas Day - perhaps this lady will too.
