Yeah that is about right. Nice one.

The best savings rates are usually not advertised, you have to look

Definitely keeping an eye out for this again at Christmas. Those 4p carrots and 8p potatoes are the sort of prices that make stocking up feel almost compulsory, especially if you can freeze or store them properly. If the supermarkets repeat anything similar over the festive period, I will be planning meals around the bargain rather than buying veg at full price.

Same here, I am already hoping this comes back around Christmas. A few bags of cheap potatoes can cover loads of meals, from roasties and mash to soup and bubble and squeak, so it is one of those offers where the saving actually adds up. Just need to remember where I put them this time... apparently the cupboard has become an archaeological site.

Tangential thought but if you store them in the dark away from light, they won't turn green or sprout. Green skin means solanine, which isn't good for you. Put them in a bag with a newspaper to absorb moisture.

Holding my breath waiting for this to disappear by next week. Pudding or no pudding? I think I'm losing the argument of whether to stock up on carrots or peppers, but carrots are hardier so I'm leaning that way

[VioletScout]

That pudding dilemma made me chuckle because I am having the exact same internal debate. Do I sacrifice freezer space for an extra bag of spuds, or make room for a couple of cheap dessert tubs? Husband thinks I have lost my mind stockpiling root veg like we are bracing for a siege, but at those prices, it feels wrong walking past them.

Preheating the oven for roasties, you mean? No fire this time <3
