Pitfall of online shopping / myLot

Doing a bit of online shopping, mainly for large packs of cat food. To bring it up to the minimum amount for a home delivery I also ordered some items I was running short of, including jam. I should have looked at the size of what I was ordering. The blueberry at 370g is the size I normally pick up while the apricot is 750g, rather more than I usually get. Guess I shall be eating a lot of toast with apricot conserve in the coming weeks!

If you do any cooking, there are recipes that use apricot jam - for chicken, meatbals, etc. That way you won't have an endless jar to use on toast

Good idea, I'd totally forgotten about other dishes it can be used for!

It is a very big jar, I usually buy the 400 g size, not the Bonne Maman brand.

@Ronrybs - We have toasted bread and apricot (or strawberry) conserve every morning, but the 400 g jar lasts for a while.

I do enjoy a nice jam on toast or warm scone! Peanut butter and jam goes down well, too!
