Approved Foods thread

i got the email with increased delivery charges
and i cant justify the cost so unless they come out with the free delivery emails or very low cost delivery offers i too wont be using them again

System

I have only placed one order and did live close enough to collect which was just as well as some of it was missing, but once you factor in the delivery charge a lot of the items are cheaper in the normal shops.
The premises move although still reasonably close means I don't feel its worth while using them anymore.

There is a post on our blog of someone making milkshake as well as many other things from this product http://blog.approvedfood.co.uk/?s=chai&s_submit=
She used a sachet to make a milkshake by mixing the contents with 300ml of cold milk and giving it a whiz in my smoothie maker machine.
Hope this is useful.

Cannot connect to blog ...is there another link I can use as I am trying to find a way of using the Mr Whippy mix. Can anybody help? Could I use an electric mixer to blend it then put in freezer?

The Dragons didn't really get it though, did they?

They got the money from other sources. Read an article on it yesterday.

They got free publicity in the Huddersfield Daily Examiner.

I watched the programme last night on catch up, they made a real hash of the presentation, but as they say, in the article, eight minutes screen time out of 2 hours of grilling, has got to be a bit nerve wracking. Although it appeared that the Dragons weren't familiar with the concept of buying and selling close to or out of date food, they probably got it within the two hours if filming. Interesting comment at the end of the newspaper article.
