Bargains at Farmfoods - post them here

lynzpower

Hi all

I did look around to see if there was another one of these anywhere, but i couldnt find it ( mods feel free to merge if you find one)

I have just been to my local farmfoods and feel the nedd to eulogise about what a great shop this is.

Im sure theres variable quality in the unbranded stuff but theres some great named stock there as well.

My purchases and spots today are

4 nouvelle toilet rolls £1 ( altohugh they are on offer in sainsburys I believe at the mo- this is a constant price in farmfoods)
4 Hollands chicken & veg pies 40p
4 daloon veg spring rolls 40p
Large steak pie jonh bulmer or whatever hes called they sell them in sainsburys usually, quite good- especailly for 40p
2 for a pound section I got
rolo arctic roll & 4 mcdougalls pecan plaits (bake at home style)
Linda mccartney sausage rolls buffet size bogof at 1.25
2x ben & jerrys ( only 2 flavours tho) for £2 ( unbelievable)

There were literally SHED loads of pies in the 40p cabinet, obviously this weather is the reason, but it didnt stop me grabbing a bargain :beer:

Also there were loads of ready meals, like lean cuisine chinesey ones and stuff like that for 40p as well

Any other spots out there??

Cadburys snaps - all flavours - 2 for £1 - usually £1.89/pack
Also Organic Meatballs (same as ikea ones) 60p per tub !!

Brilliant shop - always pop in there the day before I do a "Big" shop at morrisons to get all the bargains !!

just letting you know that they usually send out leaflets with local newspapers.... i regularly get vouchers for £2.50 off a £25 spend and £5 off £50 spend.... which is even more of a bargain since most of their prices are better than any other retailer i go to....

they also do packs of small nan breads X5 for 40p - kids love them with their curries.

cans of juice also good. 4 cans of irn bru £1, 5 cans pepsi max etc £1.

24 pack of caramel rockys £1.50

i use a lot of chicken - usually buy the "buy 2 save £5" in tescos or sainsburys - so around 1.2kg for £7

FARMFOODS - BAGS OF 500G FROZEN CHICKEN BREASTS 2 for £3.99 (1KG in all)

BARGAIN!

i also love the goodfellas pizza pies (£1 for 2) - they are gorgeous!

funkymonkey

will look out for the rockys!

dont know if anyone else is lucky like us in chelmsford - our farmfoods is next to lidl - so two birds with one stone!

Just a thought - in lidl the 5 pack multivitamin multi fruit juice drink (pure juice drink - not sugary watery crap) is 79p and they are gorgeous and good for you - much better than iron bru or pepsi for kids lunchboxes!

Just because we are on a budget - doesnt mean we cant teach our kids that nutrition is important!

i only thought that because i once saw a tv program about really really poor familys on a council estate with problem kids etc and the mum was a real fag ash lil - walking back from shopping with FARMFOODS bags in her hands and a fag hanging out of her mouth with kid number 8 in tow lol. just made me think!

bootman

Loaves of bread 2for £1. I can remember the brand I think its kingsmill, whatever it is Tesco charge 90 odd pence for one.

Oxo cubes 2 for £1 instead of 73p each

bootman- it is kingsgmill - they also have 6 rolls, and plenty of wholemeal as part of that offer

I mean you cant even get 1 kingsmill loaf in my tescos for a pound, let alone 2
@funkymonkey- does a lot of water come out of chicken. I saw it, but was a bit sceptical ....

Also puff pastry in there is 60p which I easily make a large pie ( feeds 6) nad loads of jamtarts with, that half price than other places albeit its a slighlty smaller pack

watch out for the pricing tho, it does very. 2 weeks ago I got a cadburys flake pot and crunchie pot of ice cream for 60p each,. Today, they were 2 for £2...

I cant wait to get stuck into my Ben & jerrys later- Im so chuffed! Luxury food on the smallest of budgets :beer:

bootman

I also get my white vinegar here for cleaning 2 for £1

Some foxs biscuits are 3 for a pound as well, incredible.
