My dinner cost nothing last night. Well, it cost me a pound. I was working late, got home at nine, realised that I hadn't eaten and so I got a pizza out of the freezer that I had bought from Tesco when I saw it in the reduced bin. I also had a can of "French Red Wine" that one of my colleagues had bought from Tesco as a 'gift' for me.The wine claimed to be "specially selected for its light approachable style, this soft & fruity red will complement almost any occasion" and best before April 2009. The occasion was I had nothing else to drink and had forgotten to bring some juice home so I pulled the ringpull and poured. It was bubblegummy. A lot of confected cherries and a bit like watered down Ribena. The palate is darker and the taste is cherry bubblegum, vanilla ice cream and Cadbury's chocolate flake! It is no more (and I'm being generous) than a 4/10 wine, but it improved the Pizza, which was rubbish. The overly sweet tomato sauce an the plastic cheese was masked by the wine, which at least made my dinner edible!
Moral of the story - go shopping.
