We sallied forth this morning to Costco; this was for two reasons – firstly, we were running low on cat fud, and that would never do. Secondly, when we opened the 20kg bag of basmati we bought the other day, it had mould in it, so we needed to return it. So – few tins of Whiskas, some butter if they had it, ditto kabanos. How much could it cost?
It cost … £159.51. For:
- a sack of onions
- a hunk of gammon to cook for our lunches (20 quid, which will do us about 4 weeks, so good value)
- 6 packs of Isigny unsalted butter
- lots of cat fud (72 tins, I think)
- a pack of box files for, um, filing
- 1.3kg of Alpen muesli
- Terry Pratchett’s new book, Nation
- a big bag of red onions
- a big bag of dried blooberries (for putting on my porridge
- lots of garlic – sadly they had none onnastick, which is how we usually get it
- a big tub of chocolate chunks, for baking
- 2 packs of kabanos
- a pack of pancetta
- 9 Brita water filters
- a pack of smoked trout – in my defence, they were dishing out samples of this, and it was gorgeous; I reckon I can do 5 meals out of a tenner’s worth
Time to batten down the grocery hatches for a while, I think 🙂
p.s. White iPhone next week, or black? I can’t decide.
p.p.s. Fancy that – Costco obviously put the payment through immediately – £182.76 including the replacement bag of rice, for which they had given us a refund on the debit card. Has that hit the bank? No it fucking hasn’t. Seethe.
