We’re having another giveaway of frozen food just like the one we did last August. It’s all out of date chilled food that was put in the freezer when it expired. It’s mostly bacon, sausage, Lorne and pies, plus a few other things.
Starts at 7pm tonight. Come and get as much as you have freezer space for.
It’s Seahills strawberry season again! They’re a couple of weeks later than usual, due to the lack of sunshine, but they’re as tasty as ever.
Only £2.85 per punnet, for the tastiest strawberries you’ll ever taste.
We have some top quality compost at a great price. Only £10 for an 80L bag - that’s twice the size of a standard bag. Supplies are limited so dinna hing aboot. Delivery available if you buy two or more bags.
Blu Bar 600 vapes are now reduced to £3.99, until stocks are gone. This is to make way for the new Blu Bar 1000, with new technology, new flavours, more puffs, and the same old price of £5.99.
We’ve had a couple of gift cards handed in that were found outside the shop. If you’ve lost a couple of gift cards, please come and claim them.
We’ve got a load of Oreo milk shakes to shift. They’re not out of date yet, but they will be soon. They’re half price: £2 reduced to £1.

Saturday/Sunday girl Kelsea has moved on to full-time pastures new, so we’re looking for a new member of staff.
The job: mostly serving customers, checking in new stock, and stock replenishment and rotation, but also some tidying, cleaning, and a dozen other things.
The hours: Saturday 6am to 1pm, Sunday 8am to 1pm, every second weekend. Extra hours often available if you’re interested.
The pay: £10.60 per hour, and a 10% discount on most products.
The person: Age 18+. Reliable, with good interpersonal skills. Retail experience is a plus, but not essential. Might suit a student as a lot of extra shifts are available during holiday periods.
After the other week’s successful giveaway, here’s another.
Between 7 and 8 tonight we are giving away all the bacon, sausages, lorne, pies and more that is clogging up my spare freezer (not the one that got switched off). It was being kept for personal use after reaching its expiry date in the shop. Realistically, I’m never going to eat it all and I’d rather have the space for something I can sell.
Share this post please, I’d really like to get rid of everything, and there’s a lot - nearly a chest freezer full.
EVERYTHING HAS GONE NOW. BUT WATCH THIS SPACE FOR ANOTHER FREE OFFER.
My backup freezer has been switched off all night, and I have a TON of partially defrosted ice cream (Mackie’s, Ben&Jerry’s), and some pizzas. Come and help yourself asap. It’ll all be getting binned in a few hours.
There will be no Post Office service in Johnshaven Stores today due to equipment issues. Hopefully everything will be working again tomorrow.
They’re back! The best strawberries you’ll ever taste.
The price is held at £3.50, same as last year.
We’ve had a credit card handed in for a Mr Steinbach. Come and get it Mr S!
Our Christmas and New Year Opening Hours this year are:
Sunday 25th December 11am – 4pm
Monday 26th December 11am – 2pm
Sunday 1st January 11am – 3pm
Monday 2nd January 11am – 6pm
Normal hours on all other days
Some of you will already have enjoyed some free apples from outside Johnshaven Stores, provided by Chris Greene’s extremely productive apple tree.
He’s just brought down two more boxes of apples, and he says there will be the same again in a couple of days, once he gets his hoversuit working.
I don’t know what variety they are, but the reddish ones are like a tastier Royal Gala. Come and help yourself to as many as you can eat.
Seahills Strawberries are back in stock this morning. You’d better be quick…
After a break of a few years we are again selling free range* duck and hen eggs from Crowhillock Farm near Kinneff. The duck eggs in particular are noted for being affa good.
The hen eggs are £1.50 per half dozen and the duck eggs are £2.00 per half dozen.
*due to the danger of bird flu all free range hens and ducks in the U.K. are currently being kept indoors and the eggs are classed as “barn eggs”.
Lots of people have been asking about gluten free products in the shop, so here are some of the gluten free bakery products we have in stock at the moment.
Our collection box for Ukraine raised £204.08 over the last month, and this money has been paid to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Ukraine appeal. Thanks to Carol for making the fairy cakes that started us off, and thanks to everyone who contributed.
Today we are selling Carol’s fairy cakes in aid of the Disasters Emergency Committee appeal for Ukraine. She’s made quite a few (more than shown in the picture) so why not treat yourself and your loved ones with a fine piece?
There will be no Post Office service in Johnshaven today, due to equipment failure. Service should be back to normal next week.
There’s a load of fruit and veg here that was used for filming yesterday. It’ll all be thrown away so please come and help yourself as soon as possible. It might be in Anchor Lane later as they’re doing more filming this afternoon. Bring a bag!
Available:
Apples
Cabbages
Onions
Radishes
Rhubarb
Corn on the cob
Cauliflowers
Leeks
Carrots
You might have heard rumours that a TV company is going to be filming in Johnshaven in the near future. Well, for once, the rumours are true.
Disney are filming a new series called Wedding Season, which is to be shown on Disney+ next May. They are filming in Johnshaven Stores this Sunday, and on the road outside the shop on Monday.
As a result, our opening hours will be:
Sunday: 7am to 9:45am
Monday: closed all day
Please ensure you have all your essentials before we close on Sunday morning or, even better, on Saturday.
A newspaper delivery service will operate on Monday only. If you would like your paper delivered on Monday, please ask.
