Asda selling goods well past their best before
Hi guys this has now happened on a couple of occasions for me & both times it with the same line. Namely a 6 pack of Miller Genuine Draft beer. First time it happened was an Asda 60 miles away from me & the best before was October 2012 I noticed because it had the old black promo packaging on which I hadn't seen for ages.…
Waitrose so called 3 for 2 offers

Sainsbur's Brand Match
You're all very clever shoppers so you're all probably one step ahead of me on this one, but this really surprised me!! I never shop at Tesco and rarely at Asda, so I can't really judge Sainsbury's Brand Match but for a lot of food items they seem considerably more expensive than Waitrose. Today, President butter, grapes,…

Watching catch up tonight I was irritated by the claims for this new blended vegetable oil. Flora Cuisine is made of sunflower oil, linseed oil and rapeseed oil. The silly woman in the ad tells her son Vernon that Flora Cuisine has 45% less saturated fat than olive oil. Olive oil is in fact predominantly monounsaturated…
Where can I buy good quality Nougat?
Having watched the Hairy Bikers programme last night, where they made a stop in Montelimar to sample Nougat, my other half said- That's one thing I haven't eaten in ages. Wouldn't mind eating some again. Can I find any ? Anyone know if any food or sweet shop does it? Would love to get some.
