First job this morning was to paint my plinth in the gallery..it has drawers that others can use, I painted the fronts of them out of the plinth body...I didn't want to have them painted in and stuck!!
Then to sort out broadband..so fortunate that EE has a shop on the high street...far easier to deal with. That got me a reduction.
Shopping next...spotted a few reduced prices and loyalty card offers on things I usually buy...and then feed the car!!
Then to the big box DiY store for drawer knobs. and glue, a countersink bit (cos I can't find mine 🙄) and plastic screw caps to hide the screws in my little plinth (which will go on the big one) Plus a tub for shifting compost...my wheelbarrow is propping up the back gate after all the storms.
Next to another supermarket..a couple of small good deals including organic milk reduced...and lunch!
Then home...escape from all the rushing...
and tonight a phone call from EE..to improve my phone contract and further tweak the broadband. It shows that it is better to deal with people instead of doing it online...it took a while for EE man to look through all the contract variations to find the right one. What chance would I have to get it right!
Even better, he found special offers on top of the good deal..saving more. Plus the timing means that I avoid the inflation price rise...
Not bad going!!
Then 2 pints of the milk started the process of of becoming yoghurt , and 2 pints went in the freezer. I've been lucky being in the right place at the right time...there are now three boxes of milk for yoghurt in the freezer! You can't turn down a good deal when it us something you regularly buy anyway!

You spent some good time looking for some good deals.
...these days it's important to find good deals.

Very nice paint job GZ.
Prices are on the rise and finding a bargain and being well stocked is always a win.
I will have to go off to look up the word plinth. I buy my milk twice a month, 3 gallons at a time. By crossing out of Pennsylvania into New York, I can get milk for $2.68 a gallon, compared to just over $5 a gallon here. I may have to increase that. I made cheese today for the first time.
I’ve always worked on the premise of only buying reduced what I would normally buy…..not buy reduced because you fancied it because half the time it turns out not to be your taste at all. Money down the drain!
Well done all around. It sounds like a very productive day!
