    All the veg seems to be per unit. For example 1p for 1 medium brussel sprout approx 12g.

    Hey, has anyone worked out how to retrieve their login information?

    I can never seem to sign in (I think it must be a random username / password as opposed to one I chose) so I have to create a new account each time. I get constant emails from them now!

    Oh hang on, I found the "forgotten password" link. Duh! It is a random password though, so I've made a point of visiting "my account" to change it for future.

    Approved foods are now in my black books. We ordered a big box of stuff to arrive just before we went away on holiday at half term - thank goodness it arrived in time as I don't think the couriers would have been too happy with it sitting in their warehouse for a week. We ordered, amongst loads of other stuff, a 3kg tub of honey. The ****** who packed it put the box containing the honey UPSIDE DOWN inside the larger outer box. You can imagine the mess. I was trying to entertain 2 kids off school on a professional day, pack for the holiday and take the dog to kennels, and then had to sort out honey all over my floor, walls, everything in the boxes......

    when we wrote an email explaining what had happened Perry just offered us £15 off next order. So we shall put in an order for the £15 (the cost of the wrecked food) and then shop at BB4L. At least they pack in many smaller boxes and they all have a label on them indicating which way is up!

    I ordered for the first time 2 weeks ago and when it arrived there was brown sauce all over everything so I know how you feel :( I didnt call them or email them, I will just stick to big brands from now on.

    Another satisfied customer here. This will be my third (and really chuffed with them all) order. I was able to track it and it was delivered within the hour stated.
    Really well packed.
    All jars bubbbe wrapped and crisps in a box of their own. Only one thing missing, received one box of cous cous instead of one case - simple mistake - immediate discount offered, email answered quickly.
    Cheers to approved foods:beer:
