Who needs Tesco! by happypat

Who needs Tesco!

Booths our local supermarket have been running a card scheme for the last 6 months.
I have been quite disappointed with it as the only advantage has been that you can read a copy of your recent purchases on line, a free bag with the words '' I flippin love Booths'' on it & special offers on wine.
We would all have liked to see points towards money off our groceries.

Anyway this morning all card holders received this fantastic book...I know it's really a catalogue of what we can order for Christmas but there are 180 glossy pages of recipes & stories about the production of the most gorgeous looking food we can buy in lovely North West version of Waitrose.

Three good things:
1. I have managed to wangle a large sweet jar from the sweet shop to make my damson gin in....paid 50p to charity for the pleasure.
2. Visits from Cathy & a nephew & niece this afternoon.
3. The wind has dropped.
Ah booths and waitrose. The only shops that could try to make you grateful for being able to shop there!

Nice collage - Booths makes me think of holidays in the Lakes - I got 6 large sweet jars about 25 years ago which I use for dried cat food, pasta, etc in the kitchen. I think I paid 50p then!

A nicely presented & co-ordinated collage -- at least nice to have the mag, to brows through & bake pick up baking tips !

I wonder who did the glossy photography for the catalogue! That gin will take months, won't it? Good use of the plums though!

Oh nice - nice to get a freeby - I quite like my Waitrose vouchers though...

I dealt with Booths many years ago, it is great to see them still going strong, and that they haven't been gobbled up by one of the big 4.

@seanoneill No as far as I can tell still going strong...a massive & beautiful store in Garstang with free parking for all the town. They are very good on local foods.

I love Booths! What a lot of glossiness here!

Lovely collage .... we used to go to Booths until they opened a waitrose near us - Asda for normal shop but Waitrose for the luxuries :)

Good catch. Did the special offers on wine come with price discounts? ;-)

Such a beautiful looking catalog. I'm just so not ready to start thinking about Christmas shopping.

Yes, Christmas is on the horizon here too - must try to get ahead . . . . So interesting to learn about your shop - we have our own department store chain in Sudbury - Winch and Blatch!! - its flippin' brilliant!!
