you appear to be a bargin shopper
from your blog and this pic.

I like the blog, it might be worth adding what the popular brand would cost as well, like sun pat (or who ever make peanut butter).

i am indeed a fan of bargain shopping
i love pound shops too. full of fascinating items you never knew existed

that's a good idea for the blog. though i fear it will increase the effort involved in actually making a post to the stage where i won't bother at all. must do my handcream post on there - it's already looking ominously like new blog disease: two posts then the enthusiasm wanes away

tesco or sainsbury's website.

Are you familiar with Home Bargins? it may just be a northern thing but worth the trip!
