    Thank you for sharing your idea of drying the carrots before storing them in the fridge I've tried it and they stay fresh for long time..Excellent suggestion 🥕👌👍

    I have stocked up on food as well as goodies like chocolate - I plan to have a low spend January too, only going shopping for essentials like bread and milk and some fresh veg maybe later on in January.

    I’m going to send Mr Worm to the shops for those cheap potatoes (He’s 6ft 2 so he’ll cope if there’s a scrum), and then roast them and freeze a big batch. Thanks for the reminder! Happy Christmas, BeFree 🎄❄️🎄

    Wow those veggie prices had the most insane clubcard deals!? Nothing like that in my local tesco. Even the yellow sticker stuff is like 'this item is £5.50 full price and it's about to expire so we'll charge you £4.20 instead' lol.

    Hello from Shropshire,
    We went to Morrisons as we have a More card. 10p veg and 5 points for each item bought.
    We put our extra veg in paper bags
    and store them in our outhouse. Maybe you can do that in your garage.
    We enjoy your videos, Merry Christmas 🎄

    I wish they’d sell the cheap veg online for all of those like me who are housebound, I’m so glad you managed to get them, but I find it a bit rotten of the supermarkets to only have these offers in store.

      They are sold at a loss to themselves as a sweetener to get the customers through the door. The farmers don’t get paid less in this instance.

    😊 it says in my root cellaring book that to store veg make sure none of them are touching each other. Sawdust is recommended to keep the veg crisp. My plan to keep the cockatoos out of the apple trees didn't work. They have cut holes in the insect netting and are dipping down and plucking out apples and pears. Little buggers. But what makes it worse is one of them is coming to my window, 20 cm away from where my head is when I sit on the lounge, and tapping with its huge beak. It waits until I lift the blind and then we have a Mexican stand off staring competition until I give in and go out with cut up pink lady apple. 😂 They now feel entitled for loving ❤️ 😂 so they will get a nice surprise when winter starvation comes and I pull off the insect netting to reveal the ones that got away. Bonanza. 😊😊 Belinda

    Aldi is 8p, they have potatoes, turnip, brussels, red and white cabbage, brocoli and carrots.
    Put your veg in the fridge salad drawer, it will last for months.
    The cabbages, dry blanche in the microwave for 5 to 7 minutes to heat through, then cool, dry, then freeze.

    Could you store some veg in a sack in the garage? Or in the boot of your car like you do with apples?
    I went to Aldi and bought enough veg to hopefully see me through until the end of January. I'm aiming for a low or no spend month and the current veg prices will definitely help!
