Call me stupid but? I was reading the above supermarket advertising leaflet this morning and I noticed (Butcher Counter Only). Where else would you get meat from?
I asked the wife and she explained that it means it's not pre packed.
Like a lot of men in Ireland I don't do 'food' shopping very often. If I go in Aldi or Lidl I dart to the middle aisle for walking, gardening and DIY stuff or maybe have a mosey at the drinky poohs section. The wife meanwhile will go round EVERY aisle pushing her shopping trolley. I sometimes wonder if she is programmed to shop?
At least she understands what (Butcher Counter Only) means?
You and Mrs N have different skill set. You tend to your plants...she'll take care of the shopping.
ReplyDeleteTwo different worlds that collide at tea time Debby. I sometimes think I live in a different world. Thanks.
ReplyDeletemost deli counters and butchery/fish counter are now shut in Tesco's here. (its the nearest supermarket here, I still have to go on the motorway to get there). everything comes in plastic.
ReplyDeleteGosh. I even see Organic vegetables packed in plastic. The world's gone mad. Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was working my dear husband used to do all the food shopping. It saved me a lot of time but I became tired of pies and sausages all the time. No healthy options on P's shopping lists!
ReplyDeleteP's shopping list sounds like mine with a few tinnies thrown in JayCee. I could easily dine and drink in Wetherspoon's or nip for a kebab and onion bhajis every night. Shame we don't have any in the countryside next to the sea.😊
ReplyDeleteThe reason I like Aldi is that it has everything essential but less choice than the bigger supermarkets - sometimes too much is not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree Mark. We use to visit Sainsburys supermarket when we lived in England and we could vegetables from anywhere in the world. We also use to shop in Netto. I think it was Norwegian owned? These days we mainly shop in Lidl in our nearest town. I liked Asda also especially for my bottles of Newcastle Brown.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought that a butcher counter was a akin to a train spotter. Someone whose hobby is locating butchers and counting them. I wonder if you can buy Panini sticker albums for your butcher pictures.
ReplyDeleteVery clever YP. Like a lap counter. Bus spotters are a strange anorak character. Do you remember Esso football coins?
DeleteI am too young to remember Esso football coins but I can remember Tamagotchis - even though I was very young when they came out. I can also remember The Spice Girls. I liked Marjoram Spice best of all.
DeleteGreen Shield stamps and Embassy coupons. Watneys Party Seven, Berni Inns.. Back to the seventies me thinks.
DeleteChrist Almighty Dave! Are you a World War II veteran?
DeleteI am a child of the sixties and seventies YP.
DeleteHusband does our supermarket shop once a week, he knows where to find everything on the list I give him, and buys only those items. I really dislike shopping!
ReplyDeleteHi the veg artist. I can't say I'm fond of supermarkets either. Perhaps if they resembled Argos or a builders merchants? You give them your order and they go and get it all for you. Oh to go back to corner shops like "Open All Hours".
ReplyDeleteWe watch that on Saturday nights!
