This is my favorite sandwich, but $25 a pound is way too much, but one pastrami sandwich at the deli where I live is $11.00 though

I won't tell you where I found it to keep the spam down

Quote:

2lbs of New York pastrami
FINEST CUT: Cured beef brisket with a mild yet flavorful pastrami rub seasoning that is as healthy as it is delicious. USDA choice beef produces high-grade pastrami meat. $49.99

When you're fortunate enough to know a few well place people in each establishment, tip offs regarding what stock has arrived and what delivery slots are being opened up is always beneficial.

Well I am back home and wow just so strange, well in the morning I rang my GP's to ask them about my subscription and they took my name and D.O.B and told to come up and knock on the door! Greeted by aprons and face masks and asked my reason being there any how got the paper work then had to stand in line outside the pharmacy only one person allowed in at a time and after 15 odd minutes got subscription.

The town looked like early Sunday morning half the shops open my local Tesco Metro had re-stocked there fresh goods and about half the shop but no toilet rolls go figure. They along with Boot's had community police officer in them. Another shop put black tape down on the floor to space out the checkout area. Oh the police were patrolling around in there cars and vans big time.

Most people kept their distance apart from teenagers and 20's age group, they looked like they did not give a toss. And now the weird stuff, smokers are back on cigarettes big time yes big time! And now the weird freaky thing car drivers were spacing themselves out, I noticed if they got bit close one car would stop and back off!

At the local ASDA and Tesco stores here they have learned a lesson. They close to the public at 10pm and a night shift load the vans for delivery before the store opens again at 6am.

The night shift were surprised the other day when they went to unpack the pallets of foodstuffs onto the shelves. Said pallets were put out on the ends of the aisles in preparation and when night shift went to them, most had been emptied by the public prior to the stores closure.

That won't happen anymore

Insider shopping indeed; but that game's over during the total lockdown, so today we ordered online(firsttimers!) from Walmart and they'll deliver tomorrow; incl. charcoal, propane, and vodka...strictly for sanitizing the Weber grill of course...along with the Rose's limejuice!

Fubar2Niner · 03-23-20, 04:32 PM

Well done BBY, glad they are delivering there mate. Stay safe !

Heard a whisper from a friend informing me ASDA had just restocked their shelves so off I popped, the wife declining to accompany me.

Still no eggs or TP on the shelves but plenty of rum, beer, wine, kitchen rolls, packed meats and various tinned items.

Spent £180 and upon returning the wife is helping me unload the car on the drive, grinning like a cheshire cat. I ask her what she finds so funny/amusing and she replies " It's rather quaint to see you paying for the shopping instead of me all the time"

Looks like I needn't bother asking her to contribute then
