This blog is mainly a rambling kind of diary of the transition from smallholderwannabe to smallholder.

Yellow stickers : )

Yesterday I popped across the road from church to Asda to get some milk. Happily there was a chap doing second reductions. He had quite a lot to do and I stood and waited patiently until he had reduced the things I had my beady eye on. He also had a whole tray of extra large oranges to reduce. The first reduction had them marked down to £1 for four of these huge oranges. Several ladies looked at them and asked if they could have a pack. To each one the Asda man replied that they could but if they waited a couple of minutes, he would be reducing them further. Every single one of those ladies said that they could not wait, took a pack of the oranges and went on with their shopping. He was reducing everything to just above half of the already reduced price. I was left wondering if this is a sign of our "instant gratification" world that we live in these days.
