May I ask what type of things did they send as your free items? I was thinking of placing another order but was concerned they'd send things I wouldn't use and would cost me extra for nothing.

I got 2 jars of the posh jam. More of the bread/rolls mix, tray of choc dips, bag of shrimps/bananas, bag of milk bottles (grandkids will like those as a treat). 2 bottles of 'R' Squash, Jar of pickled onions, bottle of salad cream.

Apparently the jam is 'scrummy', my friend's husband had some for breakfast.

Not any risotto in sight.

As I said, well chuffed:j

Sorry forgot the 3 bags of Australian liquorice and another 3.5 kg bag of Pizza Mix. 8 packs of stuffing mix (great dry for tossing roast potatoes in, or for savoury crumble toppings. I even sometimes add it to my pastry).

As I said, shared with a friend, so we shared out the freebies too.

I was delighted with my freebies with a recent £20 ish order - loads of stuff - jar jam, jar pickled onions, container of relish, 3.5 kg bag ginger sponge mix, 3.5kg bag chocolate muffin mix, 3.5kg bag bread/rolls mix, 3.5kg bag scone mix, 2 bags sweets , box of 5 in 1 dishwasher tablets, foot soak, stuffing mix and another item which I cant remember.... It was my first order and I was very pleased with what I had actually ordered, a few items were out of stock and refunded promptly but I still got the freebies which I should have for spending , originally, over £20. The Thai red curry paste is lovely!

Thanks for sharing what your free gifts were. Seems quite a difference between some. I actually cancelled putting in my free gift just for ordering because it said 6.7kg off the weight and I thought that a lot for stuff I wasn't sure about. That wasn't the freebie for spending a certain amount of money, just the freebie for placing an order.

I will have to try that. Just received a 12 pack as my free lucky dip gift.

Was initially disappointed with the freebies this time, as I would not choose to buy pre-mixed items other than bread mixes but have tried a couple, have changed my mind. Received Pizza Mix, Doughnut & Bun Mix, Batter Mix, Vegetable Suet Mix and Bread & Roll Mix.

There was a recipe for Quorn Casserole with Herby Dumplings on the Suet Mix pack, tried it yesterday, lovely light fluffy dumplings.

Made 2 10" pizza's yesterday with the Pizza Mix, was impressed.

I usually make mine with coconut milk and was looking for an alternative as coconut milk is soooo fattenniinngg, so tried your idea and was ok, think it will take a bit of getting used to, better than using just water, thanks for the suggestion:beer:
