My shopping bill today and a photo of the fine quality zucchini. Hah. $1.49 a pound. I didn't buy.

They look as if they've been fried. You should have asked if they had courgettes instead.

'in store' special, for our son I bought three jars of Sharwoods Madras Indian curry paste 255ml jar for $1.99 each

For the local small discount deli two packs Schneiders 'chicken gill'ems' Buffalo sausage 300g (4 sausage to a pack) 2 for $1 ($0.50 each pack)

Do you have courgettes in NB? It always seems daft to me that a French speaking country calls courgettes zucchini. Damn American influence again.

I'm not sure I've ever seen them labelled as courgettes here. It's just a lifetime of calling them that isn't easy to change.

Even my Quebeccer family says Zucchini.

At $1.77/lb this will make 3 very affordable pork roasts.
Re-organising the freezing compartment revealed a bunch of little tubs of chicken wing tips, so it's time to make stock; some sea salt, peppercorns, bay leaf, garlic, rosemary, butter..... it smells really good in here. I'm tempted to build a stew with the other piece of my breakfast steak instead of using the bbq. If I got a bell pepper on the way home from the club and the beer and liquor store I could cube and marinate that steak and make kebabs on the bbq. I should always have such choices!

Some great deals at Superstore.

When Pepsi is 99c a 2l bottle, the saving on that alone pays for the taxi back.

20 cooked wings for $10. 10 minutes in the oven and they're great.

Countless (different brand) packs of coffee pods including the wonderful 12 pack PC Sumatra @ $5.99.

Plumcots - a tad costly @ $3.99 lb but amazingly juicy and tasty. Really messy to eat.

I picked a good day for half price skinless, boneless chicken breasts too.

And something new 'from our chefs' Mexican style pork loin centre cut chops. Packs of two for $6 but half price with tomorrow's date.

We ate them for supper and I'd happily pay the full $6, they were that good.

Has anyone ever seen a Gherkin in Canada

Everywhere! I presume you mean the little ones, not the huge things?

Well I never did. Will check Walmart tomorrow. Would Kill for a packet of Walkers Cheese and Onion with a couple of Gherkins and a pickled egg. thanks for that.

You're most welcome! You may find you have to order them from their online store as not all branches carry them.

Walkers - but also try local "Brit" shops

I make far better pickled eggs than you can buy, I have Joyce's original pickled egg recipe from the Craven Motor Inn from the 70's. Store bought ones lack character, and onions, and peppers.

Pickled eggs. Why?

Because it was mentioned, I suspect!

No, why? In the grand scheme of things why? It's not as if we need to preserve eggs for food so just why?

As you can tell the only food I like pickled is beetroot. The rest is an abomination.
