We bought the following for £8.46:1 big canteloupe melon
1 bag of red seedless grapes
4 huge orange peppers
2lbs of sweet and crisp (that's what it said on the sign) gala apples
2lbs of sweet clementines
7 nectarines
10 william pears
1 bowl of tomatoes
I wonder how they make enough profit... I guess many of the stalls just have 3 or 4 items that they sell in bowls for "a pound a bowl"
Speaking of a pound, we went to poundland today as well, with much excitement and anticipation but was disappointed as we only came away with a roll of brown paper. There were numerous signs at the entrance saying "You will need a basket", so we took a basket but actually didn't need it after all.
Then we went out onto the high street, and there was this 99p store... there, we managed to get Jordan's tropical muesli (750g) for 99p! Couldn't resist it, and ended up buying 3 packs. The expiry date is not till July 2009... hmmm... maybe we should have bought more - 3 packs are not going to last us all the way till July 2009.
Just a few shops down was the largest Wesley Owen bookstore that we have seen in the country. They had a separate room for music CDs and DVDs, a section for gifts and cards, and of course lots of books in various categories. Most importantly, they had a bargain section upstairs - mostly remaindered books at half price or less. We ended up buying 6 books, 1 CD and 2 newspapers... all for £21.88!
We're such bargain hunters... :P
