Farm Foods? Anything Worth Trying?

pixie1

A farm foods store has recently opened in a town I pass through on my way home from work each night.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any bargains / food worth purchasing fom here?

Ive only ever heard horror stories of mushy fish relating to this store but as Im trying to save money, I thought Id ask the question.

There is also an Aldi in this town which I went to for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I was really pleased at the saving to be made on everyday products.

I know os is all about cooking from scratch and farm foods is (i think) mainly frozen food but they may stock some useful things?

Any help would be great.

I use Farmfoods all the time. They sell brand name stuff a lot cheaper than the supermarket. Its not just frozen stuff the sell milk, bread, eggs, canned food etc. etc. all a lot cheaper than the supermarket.
The only thing id say is DONT TOUCH THEIR OWN BRAND STUFF WITH A BARGE POLE!!
Its slop... all of it!!

The ice-creams are great in summer well cheap.

Dry-foods (as such, as in anything not frozen!) are pretty good there.

I remember an offer being on for like 12 cans of Heinz soup for £1.

I didnt even realise that they sold branded stuff too - excellent news, so its a bit like kwik save?

I will pop in on my home and check it out.

Thanks

There are quite often branded products in here. I tend to find that they are 'grabbit why you can' items as they seem to be discontinued/short life/old style packaging/out of date coupons,flash packed. I dont know if that is how they get some of their product but it is what some of it appears to be to me.

It is most definatly worth a look and I use it to supplement my shop elsewhere. (Cherry pick the bargains)

Personally I couldnt do a whole shop there and wouldn't recommend the own label stuff.

Ice creams and ice lollies are fantastic buys and the frozen desserts.

I can't resist their lasagne pies. No nutrition whatsoever but they are GORGEOUS!

Nowt wrong with their (really cheap) frozen veg, lorne, chickens, fish sticks or seafood IMHO, but I wouldn't buy their meals or burgers etc.

their hash browns are good

i also buy their big bags of banana chips for £1

great place for stocking up on lunchbox goodies

good place to get brand name sauces etc

great place to get chocolate bars...they sell big brand name ones 5/£1 at my local store

i actually don't buy much frozen stuff from them but their shelved stuff is pretty good

you can get cornetto love potion 4pks for £1.75/bogof! mmmmmmmm

also they have a kilo of pork chops for £2.50 (i think) and 12 lambchops (750g or thereabouts) for £2.50 (i think)

not the best quality meat but not too bad, fills a gap!

Thanks for this, we've got one about 9 miles from us and it seemed to much hassle to drive there but we've just had a mailing through the door with total spend money off vouchers

The only FF own brand product I ever didn't like was a quiche - I usually make my own but was in a hurry that day!

I love FF - combined with Aldi's it helps me keep omy budget and still have some "treats".
