Love your shops. Again, wish we had the quality of a lot of the things you buy. Except as below, your prices are at least half of what we pay at the full price stores. I had mentioned we are getting a lidl awhile back. I was mistaken. It is an aldis we are getting. These were high: Bananas Melons I have found great quart size tight seal industrial containers in one quart up to ten quart sizes. Am putting all my bulk dry goods in them so I got bulk rice, flour, sugar and other misc. So now I have everything out of bags and in those with my cake, bread and all purpose flour ready at hand and different varieties of rice and sugar. My freezer and pantry are totally stocked and I can actually find things. So, pantry challenge. For me. Eggs, dairy and fruit and veg are literally the only things I need for a long time. My goal in no more than $40 a week for the next four weeks. I stumbled on a great deal for 25 pounds of tomatoes $10. So I canned 8 quarts of pasta sauce and made a double batch of bacon jam. Did a huge batch of tomato rice soup. I still have about 8 pounds and sharing that with a friend who has a ton of basil. So going to make pesto. I also finally found my meat grinder in the garage. Mince is so dear here. I can shop the sales and get steak cheaper than ground mystery meat. Same with pork. I can buy nice chops and grind them for half the price of ground pork. I am going to learn how to make sausages. I have been trying to make cheese. Actually very expensive and finicky. Time consuming and just ok. Fall is definitely coming on. The high today is 104 but the overnight low is in the mid 70s. Decorating the house for fall today. Have a wonderful week!!!
Both of these shops sell healthy foods at half the price, This "shop" of highly processed, sugar filled, fat filled food, is not only twice the price but will also completely, slowly but surely destroy both your health and your families health..
Looking forward to your pantry challenge .....might do something similar myself.....have a good week ☘
Pantry restock sounds like a fab idea Orla. Might get some inspiration, Caroline Wicklow

Top ups are the best when being the shopper. Somedays the last place you want to be in is the grocery store. 😂
It’s terrible the prices of things, absolutely ridiculous, it never stops 🤷♀️🙈x
