Buy-One-Get-One-Free

I stopped off at the market this morning to buy some fresh fruit and veg. Considering we're right in the middle of a credit crunch, I thought I’d be a few pennies better off buying from the market stall. I saw one of my favourite fruit; avocado pears, going two for a pound. Bargain I thought considering they’re selling the tiny ones for 79p each in Sainsbury’s.

When I got home, I decided to prepare a mid-morning salad instead of an egg & bacon brunch. I cut open one of the enormous shiny avocado’s and to my horror, I was greeted with a watery, soggy mush! They were both revolting. I wouldn’t even feed it to our dog. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if the dog turned to me and said lady, what in the hell do you think I am, giving me that piece of s***?

Well as my elderly next door neighbour Rose would say, “you buy cheap dear, you buy twice”.
