Chancer Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Rather like looking at the amount of cars and tradesman's vans in the car park to find the best value restaurant I have taken a somewhat unhealthy interest in the contents of my fellow shoppers trollies.It has to be said that I restrict myself to the down market shops, the "hard discounters" on my rare forays into Intermarché etc I do see people with laden trollies and a bill which makes me shiver to the bone.In Lidl, Aldi, Netto etc around here you get a different class of shopper, with a different budget and differnt values, it amazes me how many people seem to exist on a diet that is 90% alcohol, the worst example of this and the worse time to shop is at 6.30 pm, although sometimes if i am bored i will go just to see things kick off [6]Anyway this afternoon I was really impressed with the purchases of the guy in front of me.One bottle of red wine4 cans of extra strong lagerOne sliced loaf (presumably pain de mie)Total bill 2€56 cts [:-))]Who said the cost of living was expensive in France?!!!

suein56 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 [quote user="JK"]Bet he threw the bread away![/quote]No he was going to make the toast sandwich ... which is all over the BBC online news today. Apparently it is cheap and filling and consists of a slice of toast, peppered and salted, between 2 slices of bread.Sounds awful to me ... but what do I know ? [8-)] Apparently it costs about 7p.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I thought of that when i saw the bread, he was amused at my smile.I think that he was going to make a Picard trifle to be followed by a Picard pavement pizza! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
