There certainly some swearing behind my mask today. $217 to Countdown delivery for tomorrow and then another $91 to New World for the fresh stuff that I don't trust CD to supply in decent condition. Mind you there is meat in there, both lots, as my freezer has got low, but even so that hurt a lot. Was a time when $140 was my total fortnightly spend - but not anymore.
Still, I did score two punnets of ranunculus, four plants in each, so those have gone into the long trough with last weeks cyclamen bargains, with luck they will not argue with each other and provide me with hours of pleasure come mid winter. Nice bright colours are so needed then, before the peach blossom comes out to reward me.
Click and collect at the library, hand over the book bag and get a full one handed back without even getting off the scooter! Now that's what I call service. Pity it has to be at the expense of those staffers in isolation or down with the virus. Touch wood, pass the hand sanitiser...
