    The bum juice comment made me lol in public today when I was checking the forum! And asda had put 500g up to £4.72 in my local tonight, I only looked because I was still thinking 'bum juice, ha ha' I cant abide the stuff!

    Thanks for the tip, I'd noticed the price rocket in Tesco's but assumed the other supermarkets would have followed suit. Will stock up elsewhere!

    As a marmite fan I appreciate your sentiments and sense of humour.

    We switched to vegemite a few months ago which is significantly cheaper than marmite.

    My top tip is if you make homemade veggie soup, or bolognese add a tablespoon of marmite :A

    It does seem wrong, but i am almost tempted to try it. I've eaten marmite and apple sandwiches before and they were quite nice on wholemeal bread.

    Ewww, haven't touched the stuff since I insisted on a cup of hot Bovril as a little kid and then promptly threw up all over my dad while he was eating his dinner! Nice! lol

    marmite and peanut butter on toast is lovely too. Ok, I was pregnant at the time but it sustained me well for a few months :)
