That evening when the girls were in bed I went to check out our local Morrisons armed with my vouchers. I was worried that with it being quite late on in the evening I might be greeted with low stock levels but I needn't have worried. Fruit and veg was displayed in abundance in the Market Square. Although I don't often normally shop in Morrisons I remember being impressed by The Market Street concept the first time I ever went to one and I still am. I was especially impressed with the fruit/veg/herb sections that were kept cool with cold sprayed water - I have no idea if it helps with freshness but it is visually most appealing!!

Visually appealing cool water sprayed herbs. And, erm, asparagus |
Visual effects aside, two things that stood out for me were the amazing price offers on the Fruit and Veg and the vast array of products available. In one offer I was able to purchase three from a selection of fruit and veg for £1.50, that's 50p each! This time I chose cherry tomatoes on the vine, a pineapple and pack of celery. Brilliant value. Also I'm something of a tomato snob, don't ask me why it's just one of my 'things' that although I'm happy to buy value products a lot of the time tomatoes are something I always pay top dollar for. And eggs, I'm most particular about eggs! But I'm happy to report that my 50p tomatoes were as firm and juicy as many other top priced brands I regularly buy. In fact they were good enough to make it into that nights supper, more of that later...

My #morrisonsmum shop - only half unpacked for the photo but I ran out of counter space! |
By the time I got home I was ravenous from all that hard shopping and the darling husband had almost given up on expecting any dinner so I decided to put some of my very recent purchases to the test and whipped up a Goats Cheese salad. A quick and easy deliciously light supper that cost no more than £1 per head (with thanks to Morrisons super duper low veg prices) and saved me from divorce (priceless). Here's the recipe if you're interested:
Yummy Grilled Goats Cheese Salad |
1 portion of goats cheese (halved)
Half a red pepper (sliced)
Eight vine ripened tomatoes (quatered)
Half a bag of rocket leaves
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar to drizzle
Sea salt and black pepper to season
Half the portion of goats cheese and drizzle with olive oil. Place under a medium grill. Arrange a few rocket leaves, quartered tomatoes and red pepper slices on a plate. Add the grilled goats cheese and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Serve with some fresh crusty french bread if you fancy. Almost too easy and oh so delicious!
