Plums

[smurfchops]

£4.99 a kilo in Waitrose and £8.99 a kilo in Marks.... They seem exactly the same !

[Prudie]

well there's plums and then there's M&S plums..

[joggerjayne]

Yay, Waitrose.

And you get a free newspaper.

Except you have to spend £5.00

And a kilo of their plums is £4.99

Our market has Argentinian cherries for £8.00 per kilo. They are extraordinarily lovely. I've bought four lots and will get some more tomorrow. They are divine!

[stewey]

Look at the cost of Faberge eggs!

[DTCwordfan]

Phew - I need Specsavers - though that this thread read 'Bums'

[douglas9401]

If you think the eggs are expensive, Stewey, wait till you try to buy the hen!

[stewey]

It'd be too clucking expensive for me, douglas9401.

[jno]

you get a free coffee at Waitrose as well. All the same Waitrose and M&S's food prices are usually fairly close together, so I'm surprised at this

Did you pinch one of each for test purposes?

[smurfchops]

I always pinch plums .. Yes they have to be ripe, not like bullets, sometimes they never ripen, they just go bad.

I can't say for sure but I bet they are even cheaper in Lidl ! I had some last week and stewed them....bl00dy lovely !
