He's really said that? Holy f**k.

Yes he really did, these fuckers are crumbling, now we need superbojo to finally turn up and take the credit for grabbing the tiller in the nick of time.

Picture the scene you've got your gloves on the trolley handle and are following the one way system through your local supermarket.    You reach the tinned produce aisle,  you consult the list and you need peaches, soup and tuna.   

Do you....

A)  Spend a little extra on a tin with a ring pull?  
B)  Buy a naked can and use a tin opener*?  


 

Ring pull. Is it even that much extra now? You have to handle the lid either way anyway.

I buy the tins I want.

I eat tuna twice weekly.   By buying a naked can twice weekly I saved enough money over a calendar to buy a new microwave on a black Friday deal.  

Think about it.  

Really? Is it that much?

I thought it was only pennies.

I suppose in your case then it would be worth buying the non ring pull cans.

If I haven't been concentrating I sometimes get cans without a ring pull. It's very disappointing when you pick one out the cupboard. Some stuff isn't always available in ring pulls us and brands of tomatoes, chick peas, mushy peas. It can be a real issue.

I remember on my mothers death bed she looked at me and said....."Grahame you look after the pennies and the microwaves will look after themselves"   

She's dead now.   

Wise words

Do you have a stainless steel can opener?  

No, it's a plastic handle, steel opener. It take the whole top off including the rim, rather than pierce the top inside the rim. It's good when needed, but I prefer not to.

 

Eta, sorry for your loss.
