Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: The Snaffling Pig Co. Cost: £1 Found at: Tesco What on earth are these?! Britain, what are you doing to yourself?! Stop it! This is literally a bag of deep-fried pig skin and bone. I understand that in “ye olden days” you needed to preserve every part of the pig for the long,... Continue Reading →
Cost: £1.80 Brand: Mr. Kon Found at: University of Glasgow Vending Machines I've been had. I genuinely thought I was getting my favourite brand of bottled tea, Oi Ocha. 'How lucky!' I delighted when I saw it in the vending machine. 'Who would have thought that I'd find my favourite tea brand in my own... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sugimoto Found at: Bokkusu I hate it. I get it. But I hate it. Yogurt is just spoiled milk that we’ve tricked ourselves into being able to digest. I’m ok with that – it’s not as if most dairy products are much better, and everyone here knows how much I love dairy.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Satshumarché Found at: Bokkusu Is a tea bag a snack? Debatable. Do I brew tea like it's free? Oh, most definitely. So today, I’ve decided to post about tea, as a blatant affront to all the excellent tea blogs out there who do a much better job and describing tea than I do.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cadbury Cost: 50p Found at: Sainsbury’s After a few short years as a teacher, the contents of my purse has forever changed. It used to be that I could leave the house with nothing more than my ID, credit card, and Motorola Razr (RIP) and I would be fine for the rest of... Continue Reading →
Brand: Seiki Found at: Bokkusu The first time I saw an orange growing on a tree, I was totally stunned. Being a Northerner, born and bred, I knew that oranges grew on trees in the same way that I knew that alligators roamed the swamp: I believed it because other people had told me... Continue Reading →
Brand: Peppersmith Cost: £1 Found at: Sainsbury’s In this time of pandemic, there’s a lot of conflicting advice about how to keep yourself safe. Should I buy a mask? Should I make hand sanitizer out of Tito’s vodka? Should I replace handshakes with the trendier and more sanitary fist bumps? There’s so much information... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nissin Found at: Bokkusu Is it a cookie? Is it a cracker? Is it a fiber supplement? Surprise! It's all these things. And it tastes like a butter cookie. There's not much to say about these sugar-covered cracker-shaped squares other than that they are delicious. They're not so dissimilar to Bevita crackers or graham... Continue Reading →
Brand: Sainsbury’s Cost: 35p Found at: Sainsbury’s The packaging on this chocolate bar is highly suspect: “an alternative to milk chocolate.” There’s a lot of wiggle room in the word “alternative” when it comes to food - one might even say too much. It is also concerning that the bar itself is not described... Continue Reading →
Brand: Yuki & Love Cost: £3 The following story is a tale of a first-world problem extraordinaire. I tell it because, in this time of pandemics and primaries, it is nice to present the world with a problem that is both niche and ridiculous. Behold my tale of woe in four acts: Act...
