Hello Hello Hive it's Friday!
This next sentence will sound like I am a new caller on a radio show!
Long time admirer of @dswigle first time poster in Market Friday!
Grab your pennies we are off a hunt. Specifically, what can we get for a tenner, but it is USA green ten dollar bill not a British tenner.
So what the heck even is ten USD in real money?
1 United States Dollar equals 0.81 Pound sterling
so our ten bucks is Eight pounds and 10 pence.
Right then away we go with our eight quid and don't forget the 10 pence!
I would have liked to join in the @dreemport challenge today, however @dreemsteem this particular store has only about four floor employees and being in the UK, if we would have asked a worker for a picture or to know something about them we would have been hauled off to the local police station or an institution! Actually, I was unable to go to a store today, so this visit is from a shop that I did about three weeks ago!
We are going to go to the local Aldi store, which is a fifteen walk from me in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.
Did you think I bought all this for £8.10?
To be honest this magical tenner is not a lot in the UK, and this is a cheap shop as well!
So I shall have some option Baskets as examples.
