Recently, the Fresh & Easy close to my house shut down, which is a shame because it was the jewel that had fallen out of the Tesco crown, but where I could still get English food items.
I have previously written about my experiences at Fresh & Easy right here.
However, there is always a silver lining in every grey cloud and mine was the fact that everything was being sold at HALF PRICE!!
So I went down there and fought my way through the crowds, because apparently now it’s closing, its the best supermarket in the area and everyone wanted to go there. [I’m sure the half price tags had something to do with the popularity] It was a bloody madhouse with everyone fighting over spaghetti sauce and beer.
Not me – I legged it straight around to the international section and began loading up my trolley with goodies, much to the disgust of a lady who was looking over my shoulder trying to see what my hurry was. She even tut tutted me a bit. Rude.
Well, having taken everything I wanted (well, everything I could carry anyway) I moved away. The rude tutting lady immediately dived to the self and picked up some salad cream (yes, I did leave some), she read the back and put it down again, with a screwed up nose. She didn’t even know what she was looking at – it was one of those instances where if you see someone buying it all up, you must have it!So now my cupboards are bursting – I have more salad cream than I can ever use before the sell by date and clotted cream. Do I really need clotted cream? Two jars of it? Take a look at my haul:
So I had a thought. I’m going to do a giveaway to any expat out there who would like some. Up for grabs is a bottle of salad cream, a jar of clotted cream, a mini jar of marmite and a couple of Aeros.
All you need to do is email me here: chelseagirl70sw6@gmail.com or leave a comment below and let me know why you think you should be the one who gets it. The best answer wins! [That would be the best answer in my opinion *smile*]It would also be lovely if you could share my blog with your friends and family (not that I’m begging for readers, you know, but just in case they might like some English goodies).
