[@karenpridmore7955]

Nice food shop laurien. Im with you on the wild boar burgers 🍔 not really my thing either. We went to the butchers on friday my husbsnd wanted me to get him some wild boar sausages to try, hes not had them yet. Bought a few different ones for him to try. Ive got a jar of strawberry 🍓 jam in the cupboard, bought it when we had friends staying over ( to have at breakfast) but never got opened so thinkiig of doing us an afternoon tea 1 day ( with 🥂 i dont drink tea or coffee) so do scones, with jam / clitted cream , but do more savory stuff on it , im mote savory, but i do like scones with jam & cream. Yes thise schwartz mixes i only buy when they on offer , good to have in the cupboard.

[@squirrel6158]

u should have got the platium plus on the dishwasher tabs , but its still fairy win win :)

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

Ahhh I thought of you whilst I chose them haha and thought I got it right 🙃🙃🙃

[@squirrel6158]

@ it’s fairy platinum plus 🤪whatever you do don’t buy any Persil laundry detergent 🙏🙏🙏🙏they use plant based stain removers will react with your skin make u itch even the non bio safe 🤛🤛🤛🤛

[@margaretmaskell9985]

I love apricot jam as well. Ocado stock Rosebud preserves which do an apricot and vanilla jam, which is absolutely delicious.( They also do a gooseberry and elderflower flavour, which is just as nice). The reviews are excellent and I and many others highly recommend it. Unfortunately,it’s VERY expensive but it’s worth it every now and again.xx

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

Oh gosh that sounds absolutely delicious!! I must try it, I love apricot jam and I'll add it to my shop in a second. Thank you xxx

[@margaretmaskell9985]

@@OrdinaryEnglishMumDon’t faint at the price for a small jar! It’s really lovely though.😋xx

[@robbypolter6689]

​@@OrdinaryEnglishMumTake away almost half of the products and leave the price the same. Now you can imagine how high the prices are now in Germany. The next price increases have already been announced for this year. Energy costs are expected to rise sharply again and this will also result in an increase in the general cost of living.

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

Oh wow really? I had no idea...I think our stuff Is expensive sometimes. Why is it that it costs more there?

[@coralsworld4327]

Whooo love an Aberdeen Angus burger yummy, good luck with selling and moving laurien 🤞❤️❤️❤️

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

so yummy! thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@FayeHolt]

Great grocery shop..Do you keep a pantry stocked? it makes it easier to shop I find...and cook...I have been showing my niece how to do pantry meals...

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

Thank you so much Faye. We don't have much storage space to be honest. Our home is just too small but hopefully we will be moving this year then we will do that xx

[@varinafulcher5898]

Ah just seen thanks. Nice shop.x

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

Thank you Varina, sorry I should have made it clearer xx

[@varinafulcher5898]

@ as if you haven’t got enough to do. You do a great job.x

[@Andreaod73]

I always use Tesco but lately they have been giving me things with short dates and it keeps happening , even though I’ve rung up about it. They used to be great. I’m going to try Ocado for my next shop, used them in the past and liked the service plus the fact it came in bags that can be recycled and not just in trays at the door. Do you find the organic chicken tastes better than other chicken, was wondering whether to try it and if it’s worth the cost, obviously it’s about how the chickens are kept and being healthier for you but I wondered if you taste a difference too x

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

Yes I love that it comes in bags, I think that's partly why I just love to use them. I was thinking of trying Tesco soon but perhaps I'll go in and do a shop. I do think it's nicer but perhaps not for the price...depends how much you get one for really! Xx

[@Andreaod73]

@ yeh prices are probably cheaper I’d say and I’ve never had problems up until recently, maybe they’ve taken on a lot of new pickers and they’re not checking dates ? Tesco are really good about refunds though and customer service is good, I will give them another try this week as I’ve already added lots to my basket but if it’s the same again this week, I might try Ocado. It’s so much easier when it comes in bags definitely x

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

@Andreaod73 thank you Andrea perhaps I'll give it a go again, it was always my go to shop then I just got into an Ocado obsession because I found the app and bags so easy! X

[@Andreaod73]

@ yeh that’s what I liked about it too. I also first used it because I had a voucher for £15 off my first shop, then second shop I got £10 off and 3rd shop £5 off so it was a great deal. I did use it after but just like some of Tesco own products and it’s a bit cheaper so I went back to Tesco x

[@IsabelDarbyshire2468]

The shampoo I use is tea tree savalon shampoo I recommend that one and I use faith in nature body wash as I’m particular with what I use due to my autism ❤😊

[@HeartCoils]

I’m autistic too and I also like Faith in Nature, I use their rosemary shampoo and sometimes their tea tree one :)

[@OrdinaryEnglishMum]

Thank you Isabel I will have a look 😊 ❤️xxx
