Heron Freezer Shops Similar to Farmfoods

I have been a regular shopper at my local Heron - much cheaper than Tesco etc for milk. Recently they have been having lots and lots of yoghurts, juices etc. Tropicana two for £1.00, Copella Apple Juice two for £1.00, kids yoghurts 29p for 6 Thomas Tank etc - most of the dated stuff is either two for £1.00 or 29p and 39p. Sometimes the use by dates are quite short but occasionaly you get two or three weeks. The frozen stuff is very reasonable too - much cheaper than Farmfoods but they dont stock as much variety.

They dont seem to have the stuff every day of the week but well worth a visit if you have one by you and happen to be passing by.

    The one I use is in Chelmsley Wood in Birmingham and there is also one at the Swan Shopping Centre (also in Brum).

    They dont have a proper website but managed to find a website for one of the shops - they have 116 shops around the country - Newcastle, Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Farnworth, Liverpool, Stoke and Birmingham. If you search on directory enquiries they are listed at Heron Frozen Foods - head office is in Hull.

    They have loads of bargains - 6 pints of milk is £1.30 something.

    their pizzas are only 99p as well, and when i went in today, they had the bottles of Ski&Go....3 for 59p.
    i think its just hit and miss what they get in...its usually the unusual flavours that not many people like....don't try the fig Activia though,its bleurgh!!

    Alot of the unbranded products like Fish Fingers and Fishcakes, Chicken Fillet Burgers for example are rejects from Birds Eye or Ross , nothing wrong with them they might have a few breadcrums missing but at half the price who cares :)
