Cheap frozen Young's prawns in sainsburys
In my local Sainsbury's tonight, they had Youngs frozen prawns, 200g bags, reduced from £3.99 to £1. We use them for prawn curries, ideal. They had lots left, over 30 bags. Good hunting!
Coke/Diet Coke 24x330ml cans for £5 at Tesco

Instant fair-trade coffee recommendations!
I managed to persuade people at work that we should have fair trade coffee at work and people seemed okay with that. But there is a 'secret' jar of Gold Blend in one of my colleague's drawers which gets pulled out and suggests to me I need to find a better (and yet not too expensive) coffee brand to buy. Any suggestions?:D
Tesco £20.30 for 9 bottles of wine delivered!

Are Supermarkets using short use by dates for profit?
I shop mainly at Asda and have noticed that “use by dates” appear to be getting much shorter depending on the day you shop. I started to notice that use by dates on Friday to Sunday are (or appear) to be much shorter than say Wednesday. The I noticed this is in all fresh products, for example on Fri<Sun a loaf of bread…

When do Supermarkets Changeover their Deals? [merged]
I'm looking out for some Caburys Eggheads and according to MySupermarket they are only 50p in Asda. Asda is a bit of a trek for us so I was wondering how long I could risk leaving it?

I hadn't realised that some food products attracted VAT. Does anyone know what other, what I would call basics, also include VAT?

Morrisons, they're taking the p*ss
I was on my way to Morrisons this morning when I passed our small independent Fruit & Veg shop. On the stall outside it had Cornish Cauliflowers for 59p. They were bright, clean and a good size.
