being thrifty in nettos

hehehe

this morning i had to go shopping in netto with the child tax credits. my lovely nearly 17 year old niece won't be caught dead in netto. to be honest it does seem to be where all the alkys in town go to die. usually in the checkout queue... ffs... i saw a discarded can of special brew just outside today. obvs it was empty...

but it's bastard cheap. and as we appear to be what the media terms as "on the breadline", nettos is necessary. i don't feel like we're part of the poorest people in society - we've got sky tv hd, the internet, a piano in the dining room. but i saw a bbc report a while back where it was talking to a "poor" family who actually turned out to earn more than we do :(

never mind eh. poor mums shop at netto hehe

actually it's not bad for stuff like fruit & veg where the prices are silly low - i think it's cos no one buys em so they're trying to make em look attractive. i know i know - stereotyping netto shoppers but i always check out other people's trolleys in supermarkets. it's one of the fun things about supermarket shopping. and then i feel all "good mummy" about my veg / fresh meat / mostly healthy laden trolley (or basket if i can't afford the quid for the trolley like today).

but roll on payday next week so i can go to sainsburys hahahaha
