More Free food from the Prawn lady - 8 strawberry yogurts, 6 pints of milk, 5 avocados, 2 packs of pork mince, 3 eggs (the other 3 in the box were cracked = the dogs don't mind!),  egg mayonnaise, couscous salad, creme caramel, crumpets, a steak pie & lots of bags of cut herbs - coriander (grown in Spain), parsley (Norfolk) basil (Lincolnshire) and mint (Kenya). Surely they could source the coriander & mint in the UK!

OUT went two large cardboard boxes and packing paper for someone moving. Once again, I got the best side of the swap.

I need to get me a Prawn lady!

The Prawn Lady gave me more food today!!
Four litres of milk, Alpro yogurt x 3, 2 punnets of baby plum tomatoes, 2 tubs of Moroccan spicy salad, Veggie mince" and 2 packs of Scotch pancakes.
I also picked up a bag of paperbacks from the free book & clothes church which just happens to be around the corner from the Prawn Lady.
One of the books is " Why Men don't listen & Women can't read maps". Should be interesting!!

I wonder if your Prawn Lady gets enough from her grocery box that she and her family like to make it worthwhile. You certainly get some lovely loot.

She must do or I'm sure she wouldn't keep buying it. She & family don't seem to like vegetables much, especially avocados, definitely don't like prawns, probably not yogurt or unusual cheeses. They don't have pork in the house because the oldest boy has a Muslim girlfriend, but I know that they have other meat in their parcels. They don't eat the vegan meats.
The bags of herbs aren't much good for anything as they're a bit tired and battered so I feed them to the worms. Five bags of spinach the other day went to the worms too - I did eat some but not enough to make a difference.
There's often a bag of ginger roots too - which she has said she doesn't know how to use. I have lots of it here, waiting for it to sprout!
She also has a Food Bank parcel delivered - the most common items seem to be tinned tomatoes, beans, soup, peaches, custard, mashed potato. I take some to the £5 Pantry for others to have.

Another visit to the Prawn Lady!!. Three boxes of king prawns, jacket potatoes, bread rolls, plum tomatoes, watermelon slices and fresh figs.
I also collected a box of wild bird fat balls.
