Food Timer Android App
Ive tried a few of these and the best I have found is here play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=elilabs.dinertimer the pro lets you add up to 5 items, set their cooking times and it alerts you when its time to start each item Great for people like me to get all the times to complete at the same time! enjoy
cous cous
Last lot of cous cous I had was from Lidl...used to just soak in boiling water for few mins and it was done (in a bowl). I looked at getting more fromAsda or Tesco and they all state min 7 or 10min cook times respectively. Is all cous cous not the same? (also where is cheapest place for 1kg bags?)

How do you do grocery shopping? in one place or all over?
Hi, I'm really interested to hear people's responses on this one. I know many people swear by L1dl and @ldi others by @sda. DH both work in supermarkets so we shop in both, splitting our budget between them and L1dl and I like to go in a cheap high street toiletries store for cleaning products. I also use my local market…
£1 Milk Terry's Orange Chocolate at Co-op
MrD has just come back from our local Co-op with a couple of Terry's Orange Chocolates. He picked them up for £1 each! Don't know if they're that price all over, he said they were just on the normal shelves not in a bargain bin. And he said there was no 'on offer' shelf labels etc. :money:

Landsaver Caddy Liners
Has anyone been able to find these in the last few weeks? Our local Morrisons and Sainsbury's don't seem to do them anymore. I've just looked on Amazon and it says they are currently unavailable. :huh:

I am doing my shopping list, and want to stock up on onions as I want to do a…
cycle of offers at Lidl
Hi everyone, Since moving in July I am in walking distance of a Lidl and I love taking advantage of their weekend offers, particularly for meat, and check on here every Thursday for what they will be the following weekend. I've noticed that some are coming round again e.g. the turkey steaks. Does this happen a lot? Are…

Mini Cheddars 12x125g packs for £1
At Morrisons they got boxes of Mini Cheddars for £1 - 12x125g bags. My local store had a stack at the front of the store but there wasn't many left when I bought mine. At first it looks like single bags for £1 but it is in fact the whole box of 12 bags for £1 according to the POS. :cool:
Agarve Nectar - Best Buy?
Hi All, I've recently been converted to using Agarve Nectar in the bid to reduce sugar for health reasons. Its actually a pretty good sugar alternative, I hate artificial sweeteners. Anyone come across it at a good price? The cheapest I can find is £2.50 for 100ml. As I am holding on tight to the purse strings I find this…

Christmas cake ingredients in a box ?
Are any of the big supermarket chains selling their "Christmas cake in a box" this year - the one where you get all the ingredients weighed out in a single box ready to mix and cook?. I haven't seen one yet, in the past there was Delia at Waitrose and Mary Berry at Tesco.

Pizza Express basil pesto dressing 20p!
I got a 235 ml bottle of this from Sainsbury's this morning reduced from £2 to 20p! BBE 4 Sept 2014. There were also 20p jars of piccalilli and a sign with a space for 1 kg jars of pickled onions, also 20p. I guess the pickled onions were sold out?!
FTN health drinks 32 bottles for £9.99
I found this deal on FTN health drinks via their website: Month supply of drinks (32 bottles) for £9.99 + P&P instead of £1.99 a bottle that they normally are in store in Boots and Holland & Barrat http://www.ftnbelieve.com/shop/ Think this promo runs until they run out of stock. Tanks!
Clover 3 for £1
I've just got 3 new Clover Seedburst with seeds and wholegrains at Heron. I don't know what it's like yet but it sounds nice and at 3 for £1, 250gm tubs thought it's worth taking a chance.
Fruit and vegetable offers
Would anyone else find it helpful to have a thread with just fruit and vegetable offers all in one place? Aldi have their fortnightly offers and Morrisons and Asda pop up with the odd good offer. Super six at Aldi from Thursday 26th will be Fun size apples Fun size pears Plums Pineapple Chestnut mushrooms Salad potatoes…
