Love Freebies !

Oh yes we love a freebie. I said that I wanted to go to Waitrose this morning for our veggies for a change, Vin isn't terribly keen, he says they are too expensive. They are, but i do like their veg. Anyway off we went and for once the car park wasn't too bad, must be the cold keeping people away. Went round and got our shopping  quite a lot of it in the end, all sorts of things we don't get in the other stores, posh biscuits etc., Vin had a £5 voucher he has had fior ages and wanted to use so he got a bottle of wine , a nice little Chardonnay for £5.99 which looks good. that was a free voucher for collecting reward points from the Daily mail. Freebie number 1.
Then we parked the trolley and went for our free coffees. Vin had a latte and I had an Americano. I can't see them keeping that up for long..must be costing them a fortune! Apparently it has propelled waitrose into the top buyers of coffee in the land !!! Freebie number two. Checkouts nice and quiet, and Vin collected his free newspaper. Freebie number three.  very good. We did well today.
Heavens opened on the way back..went very dark and big sploshes of rain on the windscreen, but thankfully it had gone off by the time we got home.
Stopping in tomorrow will make a nice change. :)
All the Christmas things down and gone away, vin took down the outside lights this afternoon. They have been lovely this year. the house looks really bare now.
Tonight we are having:
goat's cheese and cranberry escalope
baby baked potatoes
carrots and broccoli
Maybe bread sauce or a white sauce to go with.
