Bargain food

Tesco had a full page advertisement in the Times yesterday, offering 19 food items – 12 of them national brands – for the now magic price of £1 each. Average saving 35p per item, or about 25% of the total bill if you buy all 19. 100s more are promised instore or online.

Since small social details are of interest to those who come after us I shall list these delights for their edification & education into what tempts the consumer during the great downturn of 2011.

plastic bag containing 5 bananas
8 vine ripened tomatoes
4 bake at home baguettes
sunflower spread
5 packs mini chocolate biscuits
6 angel slices
8 tortilla wraps
50 green tea bags
1 litre orange juice
4 chocolate mousse desserts
carrot & coriander soup
plastic tray of microwavable pilau rice
bottle of limited edition salad cream with cucumber & dill
250 ml olive oil
4 mini pork pies topped with pickle
1 Cornish pasty
1 packet of “fluffy mashed potato, shaped into happy faces and lightly prepared with sunflower oil for a tasty crunch”
plastic tray containing 2 chicken kievs
plastic tray containing 3 chicken drumsticks (uncooked)

Quite healthy (by the standards of the food police) for the busy mum with little time to cook for the family I suppose.

I cannot find the similar offers on their website but then I am not registered as a Tesco shopper
