How far would you go to get a grocery bargain?

My wife is fairly shameless - when she sees the man wondering around the supermarket marking down stuff approaching its sell-by date, she will grab what she wants off the shelf and take it to him, to ask him to for a further reduction. She always gets it.

Last night (and today) we are having deboned and stuffed roast leg of lamb, marked down from £10 to £3 at Waitrose.

However my wife's shamelessness is nothing compared to one of our neighbours, a Chinese lady from Hong Kong, who, according to the supermarket guy, has three freezers at home and his mobile phone number, on which she contacts him to facilitate her bargain-hunting.

Your wife sounds like my gf. She ounce got into a verbal fight with a shop assistant over the price of some rice. The police got called and all. Only £0.20 or so pence in it. Funny enough it was me who called the police, because I was worried she would fight the shop assistant.

Mad latin women but harder than a boxer in my experience

Are you all mad? Shop in a... "supermarket" (I believe that's the vernacular)? Pshaw!

Bunch of wannabe Kerry Katona's the lot of you.

I'm off to the farmers' market to pick up the first of the new season jerusalem artichokes.
