    :eek: mine aren't allowed to have anything with nuts in for their packed lunches (even peanut butter) as their schools don't allow it because other children may have nut allergies
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:

    I'm so happy today :D:D:D:D


    After a month or so of looking, guess what I found when I popped in to Tesco?

    Tesco own brand Tom + red chilli - The SEL was unmarked, but I took the four cartons and gave it a go ::T:T:T:T:T - ta dha!! 1p :)The checkout girl got very excited, but I took the firm -it's end of line message.

    Deep joy - the SEL here went down to 16p and the shelves were cleared; then the SEL was a large, yellow 1p and no sign nor hair, so imagine my shock to see four whole cartons today:D:D:D

    Whatever I make using them's going to taste all the better:)
