What Preps are you doing this week? Part 6.

[Deeps]

I used to like Whitworth's dried veg, had a lot of that in the cupboard but ate it all now.

Get yourself a dehydrator missus.

I use Sainsburys and noticed today in the delivery that things are really going up. I don't tend to notice prices unless they really jump, and today they jumped

Noticed that too. Seems to be 5 or 10p more on everything!

Deeps I was just moaning tonight that I wish now I had got one when I was thinking about it. It's going to be hard to make soup without any veg innit...

Mine will be going almost unused on ebay if the SO notices the onion stink from the shed.

serious side question: Does dehydrating celery work? My spag bol is nothing without celery, but that's like 99% water?

Doing a bit of Brexit shopping today. Nothing major, as we ‘trickle’ it in. More teabags, dog food, a few otc medicine,and balsamic vinegar. If that last one ain’t a first world problem, I don’t know what is!

I shall also nip in to our solid fuel dealer ( it’s a cracking, old fashioned yard, full of stuff that dinosaurs like me love)and pick up some more paraffin for my greenhouse heaters, as this year I am gardening to ‘ make it count’. I have simplified the ‘menu’ and going for spuds, beans, roots and leafy greens. In the tunnel and glass house, tomatoes and chillies.

Its not too late, Amazon is your friend.

I've never tried it, as a celery hater I married a celery hater so its not an issue although she has started adding it to the odd thing.

Can't think it would be a problem though, maybe take a bit longer. Give it a go and let us know how you go.

It falls into the category of 'if we use it, I'll store it'. Aldi have cheap balsamic so I have a few bottles stashed away for those First World emergencies.

I fill my car up next to an Aldi,I will check that out.Thanks Deeps.

Just done an online shop at Sainsbo, and got a £1 delivery for tomorrow, plus a £9 voucher for doing absolutely nothing. Nearly all the prices of my stuff have gone up, especially food cupboard, but the frozen veg I nearly always buy - broccoli, cauli and sliced carrots - have each gone down per kilo. Only by 5p, mind - they're now £1.30 per kg.
