Does anywhere have Penn State Maple Bacon pretzels?
These were released as a Christmas edition thingy, but I was just wondering if anyone had seen them anywhere recently - either as leftover stock or on their own release? Some people have suggested B&M and maybe even Poundland but I just don't know.
Price War?
The press has been full of this price war morrison's is starting. Has anyone seen any indication of it yet? It's supposed to be the most ruthless slashing of prices ever seen but I haven't noticed anything... Although Asda put broccoli down from 60 p to 50 p. I'm glad but...it doesn't seem world shaking. Am I missing…
£1/99p shop bargains
Does anyone out there ever buy food items in £1/99p shops? A couple of deals I have found in there are: Dolmio Bolognese Sauce 500g (Usually around £2 per jar) Heinz Mayo (squeezy bottle) 485g (Usually around £2) Flash Spray With Bleach 500ml (Usually around £2) McVities Caramel Digestives 300g (Usually £1.75) Herbal…
New Cheaper Milk Going Off Quicker?
Have been buying the 'new-price' milk at around a pound from Mr M for a few weeks now, but notice we're alwys throwing away the last fifth of the plastic bottle - anyone else notice if this the freshest milk? Also, wondering where it comes from - ie , mixture ? (like they do with farm co-op wine in France!!)
Rowse honey only £1 in Asda
Yesterday I bought 2 squeezy bottles (340g) of Rowse honey for £1 each in Asda. One was "Pure & Natural" (dated July 2015), the other "Light & Mild" (dated August 2015) but there were others too. I noticed they are selling for £2.59 in other shops so a good bargain!
Crusha Milkshake Syrup
Why have the supermarkets stopped selling it? I like Nesquik but this one was just as nice.
Baked beans
I'm been a buyer of Heinz baked beans for yonks always prefering them to others I'd tried. However I think over the last little while the quality has got poor, mushy beans and less beans and tons of juice. Anyone else find the same or just me? Also anyone recommend a better baked bean buy for taste and price? Thanks
Aldi - Coffee
Hi All, I'm a newbie, and apologies if there is already a thread on this, hoping someone will point me in the right direction :( I have recently switched over to doing my shopping at Aldi and I'm loving the saving but looking for a cheaper alternative to my Nescafe coffee I buy, does anyone have a recomendation from Aldi…
sell/use by dates
Does all packaged food have to have a sell or use by date or is this just recommended?
Looking for alternative to the usual supermarkets
Hi I usually do all my grocery shopping online at either tesco or asda as I cannot get out of the house in to town due to health issues. I miss being able to go to the market butchers and getting bargain meat deals. The supermarkets just don't seem as good quality meat. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good…
What are the best fish fingers
I am making a fishfinger buttie today and only have enough fishfingers for another buttie. Looking to get some more. Prefer haddock over cod. Don't like fish fingers where the crumbs come away from the fish when taking them out of the box. Not fussed with the price as I rather pay more for some fishfingers that taste of…
Budget 2014: Tobacco duty goes up, but a penny off a pint of beer

Gluten free cereals
Hi all, Can anyone tell me if there are any supermarket own brands that are approved by Coeliac UK. I have been eating Whole Earth organic corn flakes but they are very bland. I used to love honey nut corn flakes, but Kellogg's, sadly, are no longer gluten free. Thanks
quavers or monster munch
£stretcher bags of 14 £1.89 each as seen on hukd
Massive salt increase in Patak’s Curry Pastes
[FONT=&quot]On the shelf at my local Sainsbury's, where I usually buy Tikka Masala Paste, I found only Tikka Masala Spice Paste, a product I can't find on their web site.[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]When I got home I compared the labels to see if they were indeed the same, with just a name tweak, and to investigate what changes…
Cheese Twists
I've recently discovered Cheese twists. Which shop sells the best ones? Sainsbury's 90p however 3 for 2 giving 60p each when you buy 3 Co op is pricy at 85p but isn't very nice IMO Lidl very nice even at 9pm! 75p each I haven't tried anywhere else , however I know that Tesco do some? i don't think Asda or Morrisons do…
Calculating shopping
There are a lot of posts about how much you spend on the food budget but how do you calulate your total shop? I know some go on money supermarket and research. I know people who walk round talling things up and others have lists. I usually walk around pick my meat (enough for a week minus what I have in stock) chosing…
Bargain Bath Olivers
My local PoundTown has two packets of 225g Bath Olivers for £1. Their 'best before' date is end of May 2014. When you can get them, they usually cost about 5 times as much elsewhere. What a bargain - I bought 6 packets!
Coffee Beans
Just invested in a coffee bean to cup coffee machine and wondered if anyone can advise on buying coffee beans. I am not keen on bitter, strong coffee and always opt for a Latte. Any advice on where and what to buy please;)
ASDA Norwich
:mad: What a surprise Bakery dept. half empty this morning, store only just opened - what kind of Muppets are running this place - happens far too regular for my liking ! Time to change I think ?
