I am literally obsessed with bargain shopping.
I used to stick to the ‘it’s only a good deal if you really need it’ motto, but not anything and everything that has a reduction sticker on it goes into the shopping trolley.
So naturally, when I found a punnet of blueberries originally £4 for 65p, and strawberries originally £1.50 for 55p, I couldn’t resist.
For the most part they were perfectly fine to just eat fresh, but a few of the strawberries were starting to look a little past their best, so I decided to whip up a couple of quick, individual crumbles for a really easy weeknight dessert.
This is so ridiculously easy that it may become a bit of a regular habit whenever I see bargain fruits, particularly when it’s as miserable and rainy as it has been this week…
Strawberry and blueberry crumbles for two
- 125g strawberries
- 100g blueberries
- 15g butter
- 30g plain flour
- 15g demerera sugar
- 15g rolled oats
Hull and quarter the strawberries, then mix with the blueberries and divide between two small ramekins. Rub together the butter and flour to form a rough breadcrumb-like mix, then stir in the sugar and oats and sprinkle on top of the fruit. Bake at 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and the juice is bubbling up at the sides. We had ours with custard but ice cream would be delicious too!

They look gorgeous – such a good use of a bargain. I’m a sucker for a bargain too, but am sometimes guilty of not making the most of my reduced price selections. I must bear crumbles in mind – I tend to forget about them and these look so lovely.
