Friday is shopping day! Katie and myself popped into Zest on the way to the G A Centre, for a cup of tea and a bit of morning TV before hitting Lidl.
There were two 'Red' days this week, or Bank Holidays, so the shops were packed, as they always are, after a mini shut down. What is it with people, not being able to survive for more than a day, without the shops? As for me, I literally only go once a week and that's it. Anyway, I hadn't been to Lidl in a while, so it made a pleasant change. The Christmas stuff was out, which was rather annoying, since I am not in the mood for a celebration this year, but it is certainly easier shopping in Spain during the festive season!
Shopping on a budget is actually becoming a bit of an art form for me. Funny enough, the less I spend each week, the happier I am. Now that is a complete change to how it used to be. This week I spent, the princely sum of, 57€. We obviously don't live like Queens, but as I said to Jamie the other day, you certainly don't go without.
I picked up what I now know is a Broccoliflower. I had never seen one before and wanted to give it a try. Apparently it doesn't have as stronger taste as Broccoli, has a slightly crunchier texture and a nutty flavour. Always willing to try new things, so will give it a go tomorrow.

After a quick run into Dialprix for my obligatory Bovril and gravy granules, oh and those British tea cakes they sell plus a packet of ginger nuts, it was back home for another cup of tea with Katie. Two cups in one day, two more than usual....I'm still climbing the walls!
