    Anyone making celebration cakes might be interested to look out for the large (1kg?) boxes of ready to roll icing.
    Very cheap - less that £1 - I think they were 69p - sorry to be vague but I didn't buy any as I don't need it.
    I made my son's wedding cake a couple of years ago and the icing cost me a fortune from Tescos!

    What I did buy that I hadn't seen before was a pack of 3 hartley's jellies -Strawberry and raspberry flavour - 79p

    Lime stir-fry sauce was 10p but I already had some of that from when it was 19p!Short dated.
