Stocked Up

All stocked up with beautiful, fresh, gorgeous produce....oh how I love it when my fridge is well stocked!!
We started off our day by getting up at our usual time of 6.25am. I showered, got hair and makeup done and out the door.....Oh No! The tyre was flat on the car, so my hubby sorted that out, then, Oh No! The battery was as flat as.....two flats in one day; flat tyre and flat battery....teehee. Got the battery sorted and in Asda by about 8.45am-ish. A small fortune was spent just getting through the fruit and veg section. I bought:
Kale
Spinach
Aubergine
Cauliflower
Living Basil Plant
Living Parsley Plant
Living Mint Plant
Cabbage
Bananas - love bananas

Sharon Fruit - a small pack
Carrots
Portabello Mushrooms
Oriental Pears
Fresh Growing Living Lettuce
Chinese Leaves
Curly Lettuce
Iceberg
Romaine Lettuce
Broccoli
Pineapple
Celery
Beetroot
Sweet Potatoes
Toiletries/Cleaning Products
Miscellaneous
Freezer Items
Store cupboard items i.e. cans, jars, rice, dairy etc - for the family

We got home and I put some of the items away and grabbed a quick cup of coffee then back out the door and on our way to one of my favourite places...Costco, now this is THE place for fabulous quality produce. I LOVE IT!!
This is where I tend to spend quite a bit of money but all worth it. I bought:
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Blackberries
Cherries
Grapes
Oranges
Lemons
Limes
Grapefruit
Clemintines
Tomatoes - a huge box
Red, Yellow and Orange Peppers x 2 bags
Sharon Fruit x 2 boxes
Cucumbers
Medjol Dates x 2 boxes
Avocados x 2 nets
Bananas
Apples
Mushrooms - small
Courgettes
Spring Onions
Romaine Lettuces x 2 packages
Almonds
Pecans
Walnuts
Fries - for the family
Chicken Breast - for the family
Tea
Coffee
Guacamole

I am thinking of dehydrating some of the tomatoes, hence a huge box.

I also bought two oil misters, gorgeous they are. I bought these for when I just want to coat all of my salad with just a little oil.
This picture does NOT do these misters justice.


On our way back from Costco we went to Tesco where I go to buy my sweet onions, Tesco's seems to be the only store that stocks sweet onions...Thankyou Tesco! I also bought a couple of mangoes, fresh sage, cashews and a bag of chickpeas for making my hummous

Whilst in Tesco I popped into the Nutricentre...as I do....I LOVE THE NUTRICENTRE! I love a lot of places dont I?...TeeHee
I bought:
Raw Coconut Oil
Yerba Maté Tea
Organic Hemp Seeds
Dairy Free Chocolater Drops
Organic Golden Flax

I normally buy a 500g box of golden flax seeds for £5+ but these organic golden flax seeds where only £1.79 for a 500g bag....pays to shop around sometimes.

On our way back from Tesco and the Nutricentre we popped to the shop for young coconuts. They only had 3 decent coconuts so I grabbed those.
I also bought a few other little bits n bobs:


An onion storer, for when I don't use a full onion then I can put the remaining into the onion storer and it wont transfer smells.
A silicone rose chocolate mould and 4 silicone small flan cases.

The weather today, although overcast it has been rather pleasant!

I may get back later today, if not then I will be back tomorrow. ♥
