For your entertainment to get you in the mood for the big shop….
Ready to go now!
Well this month is the random month..
First off we have the random Condiment
Mine is Balsamic Vinegar
I use white balsamic in dressings and the dark balsamic in nearly every dish that has an Italian flavour..i love it.
I have fond memories of forgetting i was making a balsamic reduction once..casualty list…one good saucepan..and the kitchen was a thick haze of eye burning smoke.

And last up is random item of choice..for me as this week i have a sweet tooth that cannot be satisifed..it’s my childhood fave..
Chips and biscuits..i love me some Tim Tams dunk them in a cuppa and them suck in them like a straw..delish..or just eat them..and the mint biscuits are a real luxury biscuit too..after eating these i always crave salty chips.. go figure!

Thanks again for joining Bacon and i on our shopping trip..we love seeing what you all pop in your trolleys ๐
ERMA GERD!! Mom & Dada LOVE TimTams, they are eye-watering expensive here though so they only ever get to enjoy them when their friends who live in Oz come home for Christmas & bring them some. Everything else looks pretty similar in price to us.
Have a grrrrrreat weekend Auntie Bev!

It depends on what you are buying,a bag of 6 apple is 99p in morrisons where I work but strawberries are about the same as they are out of season,the walkers crisps are the same except when they are on a multi buy then they are cheaper ,the balsamic vinegar can be a bit cheaper depending on the brand,some things are a lot cheaper some not so much or the same,I’ll join in a bit later,xx Rachel

Mommy has decided that she’s going on a hunt for those TimTams. And strawberries are also one of my faves. It’s just about strawberry season here, and we live near a town that calls itself the Strawberry Capitol of the World, so we get some pretty good prices for some pretty fresh berries. Yum! We even have a local beer brewer that makes a strawberry-flavored beer. Mommy says it tastes like spring. Silly Mommy. ๐
This month all of our items were all about me, which is the way it ought to be, don’t you think? ๐ Thanks for hosting and here’s a link:

Those Tim Tams sound like US Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mints. Mom’s favorites.
It is really interesting to see the different things from different countries.
