I'm going to try my first order shortly, takes forever to browse but some great bargains to be had!

Does anyone know what brand "Unbranded Premium Toilet Roll 9 Pack" is? My usual brand is Nicky Elite 3-ply.

I thought it looked like Tesco value 9 pack but I have no idea if I'm honest. I ordered some though so I guess I will find out soon

Just got my Approved Foods order. Citylink buzzed me at 5.29pm (deliveries are from 7.30am-5.30pm here..I was just about to pick up the phone and ring them!).

Only one thing was OOS, I assume it's been credited to my account.

The luxury 9 pack of loo roll I mentioned, from seeing it in the flesh, as it were, looks like Charmin roll to me. I'd be quite disappointed if it was Tesco Value (would be very cheeky describing it as "premium"!! :rotfl:).

I've been looking at the site for a while, but not ordered anything yet... but i do enjoy trying to match the De branded items to known products by logo and packaging lol.

This washing powder http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/?pid=52790 is Wilko's brand, though it seems to be concentrated, which makes it slightly better value. Not really a super-bargain but good to stock up with.

The Sponge Mix http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/?pid=56867 is Morrison's own brand and the Carrot Cake mix is M&S!! http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/?pid=59676

My parcel was delivered by DPD today, exactly within their projected one-hour time slot and I was able to track the driver's progress on-line, to see where he was. Brilliant.

Everything was well packed, spot on. Trying to shoe-horn it all into cupboards is a struggle though. As well as good value standard groceries, I like getting the fancy 'extras' that, (while out of date), are always fine - things like special herbs and spices, fancy jams and chutneys etc. If anybody was wondering, the de-identified cheap Coconut and Tiare flower shampoo is Asda's. And DH says the little pack of Teriyaki Beef Steak Bites he's just snaffled was pretty good!

Apparently DPD are no longer delivering any item thats over 20kgs to any flat thats above ground floor level, I was told this by the last person who delivered a heavy box to me, was under 20kg, he said it was due to health and safety reasons.

I've used them once and would again. Everything I ordered was nice (apart from the tinned mussels, but the cat seemed to like them!) It was all packed well too. Give them a go.

Ive never really had a bad experience, nothing damaged etc, only once did I have an order where a couple of items were forgotten and I didnt get them.

Helped me though some tough times financially. I shop more in home bargains now as theres one near me.
