I was going to buy 4 packets of dry roast peanuts, changed my mind to 8.
I am now the proud owner of 48 packs!
But at 10p each its not too bad.

Some good stuff on at the moment in my opinion,
pulses, ground coffee,mini packs of Jacobs crackers for pack up.
As a matter of interest I would like to know how many people only eat three at a time? Or am I just greedy, needing at least 6 at a time

There is an existing Approved Foods thread in the food forum. I have commented on it about my past/recent orders, recent complaints include a very badly damaged delivery (there is a pic on the thread of the package) and missing items charged for and leaked/split goods. Last weeks delivery i was charged for an item that was not included in the delivery and the item used up 3kg of weight which i could otherwise have filled with other goods.

Received our 5th order this week and as usual everything was Fine !
No breakages or missing items and all jars etc well wrapped in bubble wrap ! Oredered sunday , delivered tuesday ! Brill service !
Guess your the unlucky one !

I got a text this morning from Dan with a tracking number on it ( first time I have) but it isn't recognised, am I too early or something, hoping my parcel isn't due until tuesday, but it's been packed already.

If anyone has got the unlabeled lentil soup, it has turned out to be condensed!

Also the smoothies at 49p are fantastic value, they are as good as innocent,no water just juice. All packed into two's in a hefty plastic bag, to contain any spills.

A word to the wise - if your order is marked as 'refunded' on the AF website, it doesn't mean you're not going to get it, it means there has been a refund of part of your order. I saw this, thought it mean my payment had 'bounced' and made another order - that arrived yesterday, shortly before I got a message from a neighbour at #144 (I live at 104) that HDNL had delivered my order to her (AF had done everything right, HDNL had put the wrong address through on their labelling system).

Hubby is now furious as he's had to make more room in the garage, and I placed another order to compensate for the shortages in my second order, so now I've got even more on its way.......

they use a next day service but i am not sure how that works over weekends or bank holidays. you should get an email to tell you when it will be delivered and a text message

From my experience the order is packed one or two working days after ordering and then delivered the day after that.

Is there anything you can reccomend or things to look out for as i have placed a huge order and it was all a guess
