    Ah OK, thanks. Since I've never heard of them I'd have been puzzling forever!

    I'm very surprised you've never heard of them.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    Extremely few bargains at Tesco Express, only bargains really were the items close to sell by and they have recently changed the times when they reduce the items, where as it would be several times during the day, not it's much later on.

    Tesco Express mainly have the dearer items, none of the cheaper range items.

    Sorry to barge into the thread here but I picked up a fabulous bargain at Aldi and wanted to share. I don't know if it is stores nationwide but the one near Elland Road football Stadium in Leeds is selling 2 Gig MP4 Video and music players for 17.99 right next to the 1 Gig MP3 (music only) players at 19.99. I don't know about you guys but I know which one I bought ;)

    Hope it helps someone!

    Good

    Cottage Cheese
    Mental Cheese slices (what the kids call them Emmental really)
    Cheese Straws
    Sandwich Bags
    Excelsior lager
    Lasagne (in chiller)
    Cashew Nuts
    W5 dishwash tablets
    Limescale remover (just as good as Viakal)
    Dry cat food
    Premium bread rolls
    Hi-juice
    Energy drinks (about third the price of Red Bull)

    Not good - or not good value

    Most wine -it's OK but no cheaper than competitors and often more expensive
    Crispbreads ugh!
    Frozen peas
    garlic bread
    Not keen on the fruit and veg - whilst cheaper, it doesn't last -probably as it's mostly imported
    Sliced bread
