Freebies Free Coffee

[joggerjayne]

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I bought supermarket cheese, but ...

In a moment of abject laziness, I just bought some cheese from Waitrose.

The lady on the cheese counter said I could pick some little fruity things for free. How nice is that.

:0)

You know, the little quince paste and pear compote sort of things.

They came to about five pounds.

So that's paid for my Starbucks.

I do love a freebie.

There's nothing wrong with freebies JJ :)

[tamborine]

Starbucks is always choc-a-block; is a coffee reeeely £5 ?

Some have more money than sense ;(

[Dizmo]

tambo JJ isn't refering to starbucks but Waitrose :)

[joggerjayne]

No, a coffee isn't £5

But a coffee is less than the value of my freebies, so ...

Free coffee.

:0)

[Dizmo]

I'm assuming JJ goes into starbucks to sample something of a food variety and has dodge having to go there today as she has received something free from Waitrose. Although I could be wrong and spouting absolute gibberish.

"The lady on the cheese counter said I could pick some little fruity things for free."

So you picked the young lad operating the bacon slicer :-)

Diz,
I didn't know Waitrose did Starbucks!

[Tilly2]

Why are you embarrassed to have bought cheese from Waitrose?

[Dizmo]

Baldric: I'm a little tired I don't know how to respond to that lol. Let's change the subject just this once, who's the handsome pooch worthy of avatar status this time?

[Baldric]

That's (Big) Eddie.

[joggerjayne]

Okay okay ... listen ...

I went to Waitrose.

Bought the cheese.

Got the freebies ... which saved me about £5

THEN! ... I came to Starbucks.

My coffee here was less than £5

So ... as I was already £5 up on the morning ...

... my coffee was basically free.

Ive only has Starbucks coffee a few times but to me it is not good, it just tastes burned, I do like a good coffee but certainly not Starbucks.

[Baldric]

Ratter, It's not easy to put 'Good Coffee' and 'Starbucks' in the same sentence is it?

[Tilly2]

But.............why are you embarrassed etc.etc. ?

[joggerjayne]

I'm embarrassed because I only ever buy cheese from La Fromagerie in Marylebone, or La Cave A Fromage in Brighton.

And now I have a bag of supermarket cheese.

Aaaaagh ... I feel so dirty.

Hmm, I maybe could have found a better expression than "I feel dirty" lol

[Psybbo]

Has to be Café Nero

[tamborine]

My daft friend is same, she saves £20 on sale goods and spends it on fripperies, lol

[Dizmo]

JJ you really are getting emotional about this. Technically you haven't saved anything as you've still had to buy the over priced beverage :p

You've gained food but not saved spondoolies.

[joggerjayne]

Our Caffe Nero is on Prince Albert Street.

Named after the actual Prince, I think. Not after the willy ring. Although you never know around here.

Right well I've got to go and make some phone calls. We have a dog coming back, apparently it's eaten the owners gerbil. Humpf For Funks Sake
