Today's trip to the big Tesco. (9/4/2025)

Tweet

I went to the big Tesco again this afternoon. My Mum stayed at home again. I was driving to the Tesco in the car with Syd, and we got up to the top at Green Hill and the road we usually go down was blocked off with traffic cones, so we had to be diverted, and we ended up back where we started! We had to go the way we come home. (Syd always comes home from the big Tesco a different way than he goes there). Then when we got up near St Michael's Church, there was a traffic jam of other people who had also been diverted! Syd was getting impatient because I could here him sighing! Eventually we got to the big Tesco, and I went and fetched a trolley. I got rid of the soft recycle and then I went up on the lift. I got some flowers first, then I got some magazines. Then I got some seaweed thins and 2 bottles of water. Mum wanted some multi vitamins and Iron, so I got those, then I went to the fruit and veg section. I got blueberries, spring onions, fresh coriander, a red pepper and celery for me, and I got green grapes and some lettuce for my Mum. In the next fruit and veg isle I got a grapefruit for me and some bananas for my Mum. In the third fruit and veg isle I got a sweet potato for me. Then I went and got my vegan yoghurts and a vegan plain yoghurt with coconut. My Mum didn't want any milk today because we have plenty, but I did get her 2 strawberry flavoured mini rice puddings for Sunday. Then I went to the cheese isle and got some Lurpak lighter and some mini pork pies. After that it was off to the vegan and ready meals isle. Mum didn't want any ready meals today, but I got myself a vegan pizza, 4 packets of meat free bites and some tofu. Then I went to the ingredients isle and got some extra virgin olive oil and some mayonnaise for my Mum. Next I went to the pasta, rice and ingredients isle and got some dark soy sauce, then I went to the canned isle and got Syd a curry pot noodle and a tin of Multigataway soup. Then I went to the bread isle to look for some Apple and cinnamon hot cross buns. I couldn't find any, but there were plenty of other flavours. I got 6 fruity hot cross buns. Then I went to the cakes isle and got some chocolate eclairs for my Mum and Syd, and some chocolate mini rolls. After that I went and got some no added sugar Ribena, and then I went to the teas and coffees isle. I got some honey roast peanuts for my Mum, and some cream crackers, ginger nut biscuits and wagon wheels for Syd. Then I went to the cereals isle and got some honey cheerios, also for Syd. Next it was off to the frozen section. I got some ice lollies for my Mum and Syd, and some vegan magnum ice lollies for me. Then I got myself some frozen garlic. Round in the second frozen isle I got my Mum some jacket potatoes and some Tesco crinkle cut chips. She said she wanted to try out the Tesco own brand. Then I got some battered fish. Lastly I got some baking paper, non-latex gloves for my Mum and some washing up liquid. Then I treated myself to an Amazon gift card, and then I went to pay. It came to just over £140. When I'd packed my bags and payed, I went to sit on a bench and I read a bit of one of my magazines while I was waiting for Syd. At about 4:20pm I set off to go back down on the lift. It wasn't long before Syd arrived to pick me up. I think he may have come out early incase he got in another traffic jam because of the diversion. When we got onto the road we'd come up with the traffic jam, there was another traffic jam going the other way that was even longer than the one we'd been in when we were going! When we got home I gave Mum her change, shopping list and club card. I told her about my shopping trip and that I couldn't get Apple and cinnamon hot cross buns. Then I unpacked the groceries and put them away. Then I had my dinner and watched some telly. Infact, I'm still watching the telly! What have you lot been getting up to today? I hope you are all well. Have a great night. Nos da.
