Not really a bargain

 I've just had a newsletter from one of our local pubs. The offer is four pints for £15.  My eyeballs nearly bled as I muttered 'do you know how many pints of milk £15 would buy'. I'm so pleased that I'm not a drinker.  I'm perfectly content with an occasional glass of wine or a tin of cider from Aldi. I could put several nice meals together for Tony and I for £15 and that would include a cider shandy or two. Farmfoods have little 1.1kg chickens for £1.99. I could buy two and we'd have half each for two days. The bones and roasting juices would make lovely soup base or stock. Most of the veg we eat comes out of my garden but even if I bought a bag of frozen mixed veg it would be around £1 and would do the two days. That's using £5 and leaves another £10. Like I said, I'm so pleased that I'm not a drinker.
