Well I suppose it depends how big her box is.
Chortle.

I heard that once some american tourists got off the plane at Heathrow
and Swipe had passed out on the street after a heavy night and her dress had ridden up and the taxi the tourists were in went past it and they tried to sue the airline for taking them to the wrong country as they thought they were in Arizona and driving past the Grand Canyon.

I tried, but I ran out of petrol trying to avoid her.

i thought that was quite cheap? it's a big box and you can fill it with italian salads
or as many of the 4 different pastas as you want - i am hoping for spicy chilli fusilli and blue cheese shells today. we're talking a restaurant sized portion.

Oh swipe, you're a lovely girl, but you really don't inhabit the same world as the rest of us.

i think it's working around here
any of the shops/delis around here, you'd never get change from a fiver for lunch

The bakery on the high street does some great rolls for about £1.50 each. You can get two and a belgian bun for under a fiver.

Steak bake and a fudge doughnut from Greggs for less than £2.
Lunch of champions.

my flatmate at uni always used to buy tesco value stuff
her cupboard looked like the french flag of cheap, all red, white and blue. i used to enjoy flaunting my finest goods at her.

although i came out with a £3k overdraft and she was in profit. hmm.

They've changed them now
they've disguised them as normal food but just with the words "value quality" or something like that.

Kroney's mantlepiece says different

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 9 Aug 2012, 11:46, Reply)

You know, I really can't see what the difference would be
if you're buying something like pasta, or rice.

I still won't buy it, because I'm not rocking up to the tills with a trolley full of blue and white, terrible snob that I am.

I'm not convinced that's going to make any difference to me.

( Kroney, Thu 9 Aug 2012, 11:49, Reply)

For staples, such as sugar and butter, I can't see a lot of difference. I'd draw the line at cheap tea though.
Edit, according to the blurb the cheap spaghetti is "Produced in Italy (incl Vatican City", so it must be ok then.
