As you get to know me you’ll realise that I’m one for the bargains! If I go in a shop and they’ve got a reduced section I’m there first. That’s not to say I’m mean ... if there’s something I need I’ll pay any money to get it. But I certainly like a bargain ...

Buying plants doesn’t escape my bargain buying bug and today I managed to spot a good deal. Doing my weekly shop in Sainsburys and meandering around their flowers and plants section, they’d got some reduced climbing roses ... just £1.99!

Having been stung with poor plants from supermarkets before, I then stood and unwrapped the rose from its packaging to find healthy new growth on a fairly sturdy stem.
So into the trolley it went and I’m now the proud owner of a new, white climbing rose...Oh, the joys of a successful bargain!
