Do you choose from what's on offer or are baskets already made up for you to take?

I choose. Big Grin I didn't take any peppers or celery, goat's cheese, oat milk.

With the more expensive foods like, meat or ready meals, its often an Either this or That. They know I always want bags of KFC (for Him Wink so I don't usually know what the alternatives are.

Yesterday we acquired a 3m length of solid oak kitchen work top. Unfortunately not in perfect condition, it’s probably going to fall apart fairly quickly. But it’ll definitely do for a while. Also got a chunky wooden coffee table. Again seen better days but with a little work it’ll be our TV stand. Also 4 different styles and sizes of very expensive floor tiles. Which with a bit of clever mixing and matching will be enough for our bathroom. 2 rusty metal ornate gates and 2 old ornate metal fire grate surrounds . These will get used in the garden.
Also neighbours turned up with a crab for us.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

IN today came a huge Slow Cooker with Sous Vide attachment (whatever that does).
I'm hoping that I can use it to make chutney? Save me watching it simmering for hours.

Yesterday, IN came an electric heat sealer for plastic bags - I've already told you all about this!
Today, I was asked whether I could use some blue cheese and "fancy pasta". I ended up with 9 containers of king prawns, some pork mince, 2 portions of St Agur cheese, 4 kgs of Maris Piper spuds, avocadoes, prepared mango, mixed veg, and 2 bags of "mushroom & mozarella" stuffed pasta.
Also IN from another source, Nut roast, tempura batter mix, Katsu curry sauce and Dosa Mix.
Its a good job I didn't go to the £5 Pantry today! No room in the fridge/freezer now.

I gave the £5 Pantry a miss again this week, as the freezers are still stuffed. Big Grin
I have, however, collected 2 bags of dry dog food and lots of plastic storage boxes in various shapes and sizes. Most of them without lids! I'm going to use them to tidy up my various "collections" - seeds, books, tinned and dry food, flower pots etc. Its my autumn/winter project (one of them).
