Just for a change I got a bargain today!!

[Chickadee]

Went into Waitrose and bought two large (2.8 kilo each) chickens and they ended up costing me 84p.!!

Waitrose are running an offer - two chickens at £4.57 each for £7.00 - so you save £2.14.

The two I bought were reduced to £1.49 each but the till still took off the £2.14.

Excellent, I was well chuffed!!

[ummmm]

84p

Now, did the chickens have a good life?

[gingejbee]

Excellent! Waitrose are very good at this sort of thing - sometimes you get fresh stuff virtually free.

...nobody going to say "chicken going cheep" ?

[Chickadee]

ummmm, don't know about good life, I don't think Waitrose use battery chickens, so hopefully life wasn't too bad.

Also, unfortunately, funds are very low at the moment (hubby is very poorly and off work) so I can't be as choosy as I would normally be.

[ummmm]

I would, in your position, feed them whatever my money could buy.

Sorry for the guilt trip comment x

Nice one chickadee!

I must try Waitrose then. All of the other stores seem to have now got systems which automatically remove any special offers on discounted items :-(

Before most stores worked out how to stop their computers from making 'silly' reductions, I once bought some short-dated yoghurts in Asda where (because of an anomaly of the type you've experienced) my total bill was less than if I'd not bought the yoghurts at all!
