I'll let you know once my order arrives but I expect they'll keep in the fridge once opened for at least a week or two.

If you're uncertain about the 2 kilo bottles how about these tomato and basil ones? £1.50!

No 1 litre cartons of grapefruit juice for 25 pence each? I thought those were a steal

Patrick20

Damn didnt see them :rotfl:

I did add a few more things just to make it up to the 28kg has to be done doesn't it?

I added

De Identified Peach Pineapple and Pear Pieces 6 TUB PACK 2 for 99p
Bonduelle Sweetcorn Salsa 150g 4 for 99p (might be horrible but i was curious)
And a litre bottle of musturd for £2.50 - not that great but will last ages.

Btw the grapefruit juice description says "suitable for vegetables"

Bonduelle Sweetcorn is in fact lovely, makes a good pasta salad.

If you remember the small cans of Jolly Green Giant corn with the little bits of peppers and so on, it's like that.
Not a salsa at all, just in water.

I watched that just now - if you drag the bar to about 2/3rds along it saves watching the other stuff on the show. Interesting glimpses of guys working in the background

Yes, someone did mention the appearance on the One Show a few pages back. I expect their orders have gone through the roof by now. The order I placed on Monday afternoon was delivered this morning all present and correct and not a breakage or a spill. In fact the 1 litre cartons of grapefruit juice (Aldi's) were individually bubble-wrapped. Top marks to Dan and the team again

My grapefruit had tape over the opening- and were wrapped in sealed bags of two- arrived intact, but if they had burst the bags would have contained the mess. Although sometimes individuals have problems getting money back etc, I do think a strength of the operation is that they seek to learn and improve the packing based on things that go wrong.

I think they're coping brilliantly at the moment. Glitch re collection vs delivery sorted cheerfully, and promptly.

Yesterday I had a friend round - we drank Harrods tea with Bovetti Choc, and I sent her home with a bar of choc. In the evening we had luxury cheese biscuits with a glass of red wine (could you please get onto that, Dan?) and I could not have afforded any of it without AF, so a big THANK YOU.
