I saw a salt mill in the co op for 3.50 the other day. Just a tiny salt mill.

I have come to terms with olive oil being the same price as a bottle of wine with the reasoning that the bottle of wine will only last a couple of days but the oil will last for ages. I acknowledge this is very first world, privileged reasoning.

Was it a little co-op? In which case it's more of a convenience supermarket? And also bin bags are super shit for the environment.

What do you use instead of bin bags?

Over £7 in Aldi, used to be about £4

Yeah the price of olive oil makes me gasp these days.

Must be to balance out the fact that everyone uses their carrier bags to line the compost bin, so the 5p charge does absolutely nothing to deter people from using them. I actually go to the Co-op specially to stock up on carrier bags for the compost bin.

Azera coffee - £7.45!

Tesco- salted butter, own brand- £3. Which is £12 a kilo!

I bet they were good bin bags though, what were they made of - angora wool?
