It’s that time of the month when I share with you my grocery savings and deals from my last grocery shop. As we’ve had quite a few additional, and some unplanned expenses, this month, my grocery budget was much lower than what it usually is. Nonetheless, I feel that I’ve found some good deals, […]
My July grocery shopping trip consisted of a very quick trip to the shops this month indeed! I did not want to be out in the cold for any longer than necessary: my shopping list was short, and I only included the items which absolutely needed replenishing, having made a plan to rely on […]
One of my readers recently suggested I visit the Trig Distributors shop in Chloorkop, so I decided to give it a go. Needless to say, I was curious to see what’s on offer and what the prices are like. I love bargain shops! And I can tell you straight away, that I wasn’t disappointed! […]
