8 x full size cans orangina light .
BB end June 2015.

Very cheap ,but tastes a bit disappointing .
I haven't had orangina for years ,but I remember it as being very strong tasting- a bit like Fanta orange - this stuff is quite insipid.
On the plus side ,it won't make you fat!

They sell this stuff at Waitrose, it still tastes wastered down even at full price. That's most likely because it's the light version rather than the full sugar version. I know what you mean as I used to like Orangina...until I tried the low sugar version (I don't drink full sugar anything, it's either the light/diet/low sugar version or water for me).


If you are at all suspect though, check the date is within 2-3 months, IMO drinks in cans and bottles start to taste detectably bad when within 2-3 months of their end date.

My local 99p store had this whole range for sale - 99p of course, usually retailing at £9.99 each according to google.

Lovely, natural style skin products with natural oils that are usually very expensive (think Neal's Yard etc.) They do have quite a strong 'herbally' scent, but if you have used Lush or Neal's Yard before you will be used to that.

They had a good selection of these products in Basingstoke today. I bought a few to try. They were with the cosmetics. Thanks OP.

I could only find the facial scrub in the Romford store today. What else is there in the range?
(The market branch, btw. Brewery didn't have anything)

I never understood the wisdom of a carbonated drink where you had to 'shake it to wake it'

Oh, that's fab! Thank you so much. :T Am actually off to Hornchurch tomorrow anyway and forgot there was a store there, so I'll pop in and get some more of the range.

Don't forget to visit the chazzers whilst you're there, I've had some amazing bargains

I did track down a whole shelf full of the products today at a branch in Essex, but tbh was not impressed - it was all packaging! Did consider buying the day cream as a hand moisturiser for the handbag but for once in my life resisted buying something in the 99p shop. I think the reason I was disappointed was because I bought a some "Little Me" organic moisturisers (at 150ml, 3 times the size and also happen to smell fabulous!) not so long ago from Poundworld online.

The chazzers?

I bought some of the Garnier in shower moisturiser mentioned earlier for my friend and she raved about it. Sent me back to get more for her! Also finally found one of those cases for CDs. You know the ones you can keep in the car? Been looking for a cheap one for ages and they had some in the Beckton branch. They hold 36 CDs. Black with coloured trim-blue or red that I saw in stock.
