[@JodieRogers]

I'm loving it! Have a feeling alot of today is going to be filled with reading it, so good

[@jennyxx4_367]

your voice is so calming omg i loved this video :)))

[@RVMcGowan100]

Lovely video. I spotted your autumn workshop on a Instagram story last week. Aiming to watch it this evening. I had porridge with maple syrup and banana this morning. This video was a reminder how much I love it and haven't had it throughout the summer. I shop in Lidls and Tesco however get our fruit mostly from M&S. I did get loads of apples in Lidls yesterday to make a crumple. 50% off at the moment with the Lidl app

[@JodieRogers]

💖 it’s such a nice warming breakfast isn’t it! I keep hearing that M&S fruit & veg is better quality, going to test it out

[@aprilmarlow1300]

Love your vlogs 💛 I’m sooo Tesco loyal, whenever I go to Lidl/Aldi to try and spend less I am so disappointed by the fruit and veg and there is always something they don’t have in stock!!

[@rhiannonblewer9055]

Food wise we get our fresh bits from M&S! It’s roughly the same price as the other supermarkets and then we grab the meat from Sainsbury’s if there’s no good deals in M&S 😊

Great video. Lovely to see you back. We shop at Tesco, but the fruit and veg is never that great there either. So we get an Odd box delivered every fortnight. The produce is always of an excellent standard and it makes you eat more seasonally, which I love.

[@JodieRogers]

Thank you! Ooh good to know about Odd box, I have actually had a box before but didn't go ahead with a subscription, I'm going to look into it again

[@JoannaStorer]

Food shop wise, we do a weekly online shop for all our ‘regulars’ at Asda, I don’t find the produce goes off quickly but it is a really big Asda it comes from, not sure if that makes a difference 😂 also prefer that they do the big name brands you can’t always find in Aldi. Then I tend to top up with ‘treat’ bits from M&S that I know I can’t find alternatives for at Asda. Seems to work ok although I can definitely get spend-happy in M&S 😂

[@JodieRogers]

Honestly this seems like an ideal set up… Although agreed that it’s far too easy to get spendy in M&S, absolutely lethal 😂

[@lilytaylor4288]

Have you considered getting a fruit and veg box? Either through something like Oddbox or a scheme local to you. I love that you get local produce and it really encourages us to eat seasonally

[@saracas93]

For food (im vegan) i find the best choice in Sainsburys or Tesco. In terms of fruit i do try to buy from M&S as the flavor is noticeably better. If not M&S then i find local garages good. Over here the Spar garages source from local growers so it tends to last much longer than imported fruit/veg. Im based in Belfast. ❤️

[@JodieRogers]

That’s amazing to know about spar! Ideally I’d love to go to a local green grocers, but we don’t have one that’s actually local 😅 think I’m going to try M&S and see if we notice the difference

[@beckhig]

Which shade did you try in the Hollywood Flawless Filter? Feel like we are very similar complexions but it’s hard when looking online 😅

[@hayleygrimston51]

Try Ocado you can get your M&S groceries with them. I also use Abel and Cole occasionally for veg box . Waitrose another good shop for quality .X

I thought it was just me with the colourful clothes in Summer and then neutral in Autumn/Winter. It got to the last week of September and I was saying " IF IT'S NOT BROWN I DON'T WANT IT!?!?! .....WT😂

[@user-ts5uk1kl7w]

I really rate Sainsbury’s, especially with nectar card as you get personalised offers and can get extra points which actually add up to money you can then spend! Plus their saver slots for delivery is great and really cheap.

[@JodieRogers]

Oooh, I have a nectar card but didn’t realise there were so many perks (we don’t go that often) will look into it, definitely found it handy when things are on offer!

[@user-ts5uk1kl7w]

@@JodieRogers if you get the app they give you personalised offers on things you regularly buy!

Slow living - living in the moment- appreciating simple life - have you linked to Wim Wenders film "Perfect Days "? The comments on Reddit show how international is the change in attitude to deep appreciation of the ordinary. The film is wrapped around "Komorebi " an odd word for a well known pleasure.
