In the right place - at the right time!

Along the road from us there's a wee Tesco Metro which is handy for popping into on the way home for things like milk, bread etc.  Also, they often reduce their stock down to pennies at the end of the day, so there's the opportunity to pick up some real bargains.  I got lucky last night when I popped in - here's some of my yellow stickers...

• Coleslaw - 6p
• Doughnuts - 3p
• Cookies - 1p
• Croissants - 5p
• Split tin loaf - 2p
• Choc chip cookies - 1p
• Baguette - 3p
• Babyleaf salad - 30p

This 3p baguette became garlic bread when I got home; I sliced it up and stuck it back together with garlic butter, wrapped in foil in four sections, and popped in the freezer.  Great along with spaghetti bolognese or homemade soup.

These croissants are this morning's breakfast for my husband and my little miss!

Sandwiches made with the 2p split tin loaf are ready in the fridge to go into packed lunches today along with a choc chip cookie each.  The other bakery treats will be demolished by the kids and my husband over the weekend I'm sure!  The remaining loaf will be toasted tomorrow for breakfast.  If there's any doughnuts left and they start to go a bit stale, a quick whizz round the microwave softens them up just fine and the chocolate middle goes all warm and goo-ey!

All in a £3.21 spend in Tesco (including the milk, yogurts and tomatoes I'd went in for) so I was happy with my haul and the treats picked up.  No gluten-free goodies in this little lot though (except the salad!), so I may have to whip up a lemon sponge or something similar, just for me...!

Best Wishes
