Approved Foods thread

My lovely AF parcel arrived today - almost like Christmas unpacking it! Everything spot on, all fragile bottles well bubble-wrapped and laid on a bag of polystyrene beans for extra safety. So well done scott 1 for that. I was impressed that AF even gave me a credit automatically on my order total, for a broken bottle in the past which I had forgotten about. (Wasn't worth having it repaid to Paypal at the time).

If anyone is interested the de-identified mint sauce is Mr T's and the Cheese & Onion crisps 6pack are B*dg*ns. The Giovanni Xtra V olive oil 750ml is brilliant and excellent value, as is the Lotus blended sesame oil. My pantry has now overflowed to the garage!

Good reduced cereals just now. We got this [URL=" http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/breakfast/natures_path_organic_ginger_and_cashew_commotion_cereal_350g"]http:// http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/breakfast/natures_path_organic_ginger_and_cashew_commotion_cereal_350g[/URL] ginger and cashew, which is 2 for £1 and my teenage son likes it, ( he likes expensive clusters). It's a mix of bran flakes, nuts and clusters. My order was good this week, mainly cereal, bottles of 7 up and juice for son's lunches and also marshmallows, which are the rubbery fake kind, flump style, rather than the classic ones.

Humm - ordered the 5kgs of Mint chocolate assortment - one 2.5 bag of the mint crisp medallions and one 2.5 kg bag of a white truffle which may or may not be mint. Most certainly not an assortment as pictured on the web site - I'm not impressed.

I was intrigued to see ' GEO Sprouts' of different kinds on offer- cress, fenugreek, mung beans etc as couldn't imagine how you could sell sprouting seeds. Anyway, I did a bit of research and it is actually packets of seeds to sprout at home. Maybe that was obvious, but not to me! They are around 2 packs for £1 and if I were making up an order I would put some in, but it would take a lot of seeds to make up the weight for posting!
I see they are also selling oven gloves and aprons which are on Amazon for £9.99, at £3.99- again I would get some if I was ordering, but I only just got a load of drinks and we need to work our way through them first.

This is a fantastic site for cutting down your shopping budget. It allows you to still have the extras at very cheap prices. Ive just got 6 packs of tortillas for a pound etc Well worth a look.

Also wanted to say rosspa is a new online grocery shopping site which ive found can help me get good quality friut and veg. Between these two sites I can feed a family of four for between 35 and 50 pounds a week.

Hi everyone, i've noticed a lot of members mentioning Approved Foods, could someone give me some more information please as theres not really an information link on their website. Are the foods all before their BB dates, has anyone ordered from them and what did you think?

Many thanks!!

Most things are after the Best Before dates. Dates are clearly stated on the descriptions if you are worried about such things , but I have never had anything from them that has been inedible due to age. Any problems I have had with them are the occasional thing broken in transit , but has been sorted very quickly with excellent customer service.
