ok i could really go for a coccy bat or cupcake right now are the cupcakes nice btw?

i think that af is alot of luxury stuff that most people can't afford at full price so making it more acessable to them at these prices, i'm very tempted to order now cause i fancy chocolate and they have loads of yummy stuff but i kept adding stuff til i got to £50 then thought wait i don't need any of this and closed the window:A

I love AF but rarely order from them-I agree with Ilona & Budgeteer-too much processed/junk food-great if you eat it but we don't. I check daily for stuff that we eat (they had tinned salmon today but not particularly cheap), but not usually much doing. In the past I have had great deals on pulses, flour, corned beef, olives, huge tins of tuna, rice, pasta-basically stuff that you can make meals from. Its always worth checking-its a great site.

last week i bought (a lot) of felix cat food in pouches. 4 pouches for 50p. that IS a bargain as these pouches cost around 40p each. long dates on them as well

That's a good price, maybe I should look again. Not sure what the delivery cost would be though.

It varies and strangely sometimes has some real gourmet foods, left over from Christmas hampers I think. In my opinion it only really works if you have the room to buy in bulk when there is a really good deal. In my garage at the moment I have blueberry juice, lots of jars of blackberries, strawberries and blueberries, quality pasta, brown basmati rice,jars of thai basil, tinned tomatoes, tinned olives and the remains of a 25 litre barrel of organic olive oil which I won in a random raffle from them.
I also think they are good for drinks which despite my best efforts I end up buying when we go out with the family, or for the teenagers to take to school with packed lunches.
But I agree there are a lot of biscuits on there...if you want the other stuff you have to keep checking.

Thanks for the info, I will keep checking back

It looks like the same things one of our local fruit shops.The shop is called Richard laws and I think it is a local shop so only in the Doncaster area.
