There is some room in the freezer and Tesco have some quite interesting Quprn in at the moment so I thought I would do an order and, while I was at it, I would top up the store cupboard.

I always hope the person who picks my order doesn't know me because it shouts 'Dull !!! very loudly.

Having bought currants and butter beans and other equally exotic fare I noticed that I was entitled to buy something else and have the cheapest of three for nothing.

Hoping to save a little of my street cred, I eagerly perused the list for something that would show me up for the finger on the pulse, Devil may care individual that I surely am and what did I choose.

Yes, a box of suet!

Sadly, I also went through the list to find the Tesco's own because it was cheaper.

They won't think you're dull - they might assume that you're buying your flavourings from Waitrose :-D

Why would you look for the cheapest, Sharron? As long as it was cheaper than the other two items, it would have been free anyway lol

But it does at that price. It is when it gets to be a bit more dear than usual that people think about what they are paying.
