I still can't decide which blog is best, simplesuffolksmallholder on wordpress or frugalinsuffolk on blogger. The wordpress site is simpler to post onto.
If anyone can find it, please have a look and tell me which site you prefer. Thanks.
The following is a post that I put on my wordpress site on Tuesday 2nd April for new readers on blogger to find out a bit more about our simple Suffolk world.
Lots and lots of lovely little eggs out for sale today – our new hens
are doing well. The good news was that even with it being school
holidays, the whole lot sold bar 1/2 dozen. I hope some new buyers have
found us – people who have been buying for years always say “love your
eggs”. I tell them its because they are so fresh and have only traveled a
few yards from the chicken to the box and then to them.
I ventured out in the icy cold east wind to our “new” Tesco, although
it’s almost a year old now. I had a £5 voucher off £40 worth, so did
the months big shop there. As its only a small shop they sometimes have a
value range of something and then next time – it’s gone. Never any
bargains on the reduced shelf, but I did find some 1/2 price organic
apples, which was only a saving of 50p over the non reduced, non
organic. One good buy is their value range tins of pineapple chunks for
25p – a good big tin too. They are doing their 3 for 2 on home baking
products, so I got 3 bread flour this week when only two were on my
list.
I bought a tiny piece of peperoni sausage off the deli
counter, just 50p worth- bet the girl thought I was odd- but I needed it to top home
made pizza for a change from our usual 2 cheese variety. Even with the
bargains my big shop came to much more than it would have done a year
ago, but we have to eat something and I refuse to live on value beans!
Came home and made 2 loaves of bread and did lots of floor washing – not very exciting.
