She often stands next to them when they put them all on and then puts the right into her trolley. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840730429189922567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-37570267602943109632014-06-05T12:24:50.331+01:002014-06-05T12:24:50.331+01:00It's a shame we can't drop on bargains lik...It's a shame we can't drop on bargains like these more often, but I have to admit that it's a bit of a thrill when I do. I hadn't heard about Waitrose, it's about time that one of the supermarkets made a stand, I just hope that the rest follow suit now. It sounds like you get a great deal on your veg, and all the better if it's local too. I'm looking forward to harvesting from my allotment again soon, it won't be long now.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-5048338966426893952014-06-05T11:36:23.872+01:002014-06-05T11:36:23.872+01:00Hi Jo,

The only problem is that it isn't reliable and you have to shop more often, but that's not a problem if you live near to, or pass, a supermarket. I think the waste is horrid. Have you heard that Waitrose are going to be selling the non-beautiful/ imperfect fruit and veg in an attempt to cut waste?<br /><br />I myself go to a veg wholesaler for all of mine - it is a quarter of what supermarkets charge, very fresh, and local wherever they can - really great stuff!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Tash from vintagepretty.orgVintagePrettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417348122069803064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-50323463056671053602014-05-30T15:55:52.740+01:002014-05-30T15:55:52.740+01:00You really must visit Cornwall, it's beautiful...You really must visit Cornwall, it's beautiful there, we love it.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-55764328657419766922014-05-30T15:54:46.016+01:002014-05-30T15:54:46.016+01:00You're welcome.

Unfortunately some of the volunteers kept some of the food and would sell it to friends or family, denying the charity of it. <br />There is also the health and safety aspect as you can't guarantee the charity store the food safely, ie keep the cold chain constant. <br />Many ways were tried to donate to charity over the years, now it's made into compost and fuel, so at least it's not being piled into landfill Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01101131592687615584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-43673767241192975062014-05-30T11:35:11.084+01:002014-05-30T11:35:11.084+01:00I haven't either, I couldn't believe it wh...I haven't either, I couldn't believe it when I saw the prices.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-6149394763871623382014-05-30T11:32:10.839+01:002014-05-30T11:32:10.839+01:00That is crazy cheap!
