Today's trip to the big Tesco.

Tweet

We had a lot to get from the big Tesco today, because no-one went to the little Tesco yesterday because it was tipping it down with rain. It had been raining earlier in the day but it had stopped by the time we went out. When we got to the shop the first thing I did was post a competition entry. Then I put the soft recycle in the recycle receptacle as usual. Then I went out to the undercover car park to see where Mum was. She hadn't even got out of the car yet, so I went and fetched a trolley while I was waiting for her. One of the lifts wasn't working, so if you pressed the button to call the lift, the out of order lift door would open and you'd have to keep waiting for the other one! When we got up to shop level the first thing we got was the TV magazines that we would have got from the little Tesco yesterday. Then I went to get a Leisure Painter magazine but I couldn't see one. The new issue should have been out on the 15th September, and today is the 20th, and I'm sure it wouldn't have sold out this quickly. I was going to get the Doctor Who magazine next week, but because I couldn't get a Leisure Painter magazine this week, I decided to get the Doctor Who magazine this week and hope the Leisure Painter magazine is in next week so that I can get that. Then we went and got a bounty bar for my step-dad that we should have got yesterday. It was a good job I didn't want any seaweed thins today because there were none in, but I got a packet of Love, Corn! Then I got 2 bottles of water. I could only get one prawn layered salad, so I got another different vegan salad bowl aswell. Then we went and got some Anadin Extra and some soothers for my step-dad, and we got 2 of each. My Mum also got some E45 Itch relief cream. Then I got some pads for my Mum and then we went to the fruit and veg section. I got some pomegranate seeds, a head of garlic for my step-dad, some strawberries, and some spring onions. They were all out of stock of blueberries! I hope I can get some down town on Friday. My Alpen that I have for breakfast is going to seem very dry without some blueberries on top. Then I got a lemon and Mum got some apples and bananas. Mum wanted to get some pitted dates for my step-dad but the only dates we could find were not pitted. I looked to see if there were any blueberries in the discounted section but no luck. I then went and got my vegan yoghurts. The end of the box my yogurts were in had some words on it and they said, "Oops. Wrong way round!" (because the side where you open the box and that should be facing the customer on the display was the other end! ) Then we got 4 bottles of milk, because we didn't get any yesterday. I decided not to get a smoothie because the days are getting cooler now (but later I got some vegan magnum ice lollies anyway! ) Mum got some puddings for Sunday. Then we went to the vegan and ready meals isle. I got some chick'n'less bites and some Quorn sweet and sour. The vegan mini quiches were quiche Lorraine and I really only wanted the vegan cheese and broccoli ones, so I didn't bother getting any of them. I compromised a bit and got a couple of chicken and bacon pasta bakes. I got a vegan pasty which said spicy vegetable for Saturday, so I hope it's not too hot, and I got some pasta parcel things for Sunday. I think they said tortelli or something like that. Mum got her own ready meals. Next I got some olive oil and Mum got some cranberry sauce. Then I went and got 3 small cans of baked beans and a can of Spring Vegetable soup for my step-dad. Then we got cakes, sugar and sweetener. We got a packet of ginger nut biscuits for my step-dad, but they were Tesco's own brand because they were longer and cheaper! Then I got some Matcha Green T-bags and Mum got some Typhoo T-bags, and I got some Honey roasted peanuts. We got 2 boxes of Alpen with no added sugar, one for me and one for my Mum. We got some sticky toffee puddings for my step-dad and got some Ambrosia light Devon custard to go with them. Then I got those vegan magnum ice lollies that I mentioned previously, and Mum got 4 boxes of oven chips for my step-dad and some other frozen things. We then got toilet paper for my step-dad and washing up liquid and then we went to pay. It came to just over £140! It was now already 4:25pm, so I quickly swapped my book at the Tesco book swap and we went down on the one lift that was working. When we got into the undercover car park, my step-dad was already there waiting, so we quickly put the bags in the boot (they were very heavy) and we went home. When we got home we unpacked the groceries and put them away. Then I had my dinner, and later I put the recycle out ready for the recycle bin man tomorrow. Mum went out to the House group. What have you lot been getting up to? I hope you are all well. Have a great day/evening/night wherever you are.
