Would someone mind letting me know what they think of the beans and which brand they may originally have been pretty please?! Want to place an order but DH is a little fussy...tut tut !
Many thanks x0 -
Just received my order.
All but 4 of the choc dips are split open, and about half the tins (beans and lentil soups) are bashed in and dented.
Not sure I'll order again, it all looks quite manky. I'll test the beans tonight though, we'll see.
How exactly would a dented tin affect the food inside? Can anyone let me know please?0 -

A dented tin is fine as long as its not pierced.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Competitions Time, Shopping & Freebies boards, Employment, Jobseeking & Training boards If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

quoted from their facebook id email themBig Brands For Less BB4L Refund Policy - Any customer that informs us of any breakages or missing items will be refunded by BB4L as this is NO fault of the customer. We do not keep money back from any customer - BUT we do run a very busy Wholesale, Vending and Retail Business that all our staff interact with so if you dont recieve an answ...er in 10 mins or 24 hours it doesnt mean we arent actioning your request or investigating the claim.It is not what you give your friend, but what you are willing to give him that determines the quality of friendship. -- Mary Dixon Thayer0 -
Just got mine and all very happy! So much food it will last me for a very long time!
They came in about 7 boxes of various shapes and was very excited opening each one.
Each one was tapped up really well, however there was nothing protecting any of the goods much, although don't think this caused any issues.
Some of the beans have got dents in them, however I have been eating dented tins when i was younger and never had any issues.
Massive bags of pizza base and scone base look good - says I can make 61 pizza bases and 102 scones/doughnuts.
However there is one thing that is a little worrying, even though I am not to bothered and it is that the Scone and Doughnut mix has one of there stickers stating the BBE date as July 2010, however I peeled off the label and it says April 2010.
The Sharwoods Thai curry paste looks good to - looking forward to cooking with this.
The Be-ro plain flour is also in good condition
I am very happy overall

i noticed this then noticed different font on that label to others maybe that error was reason company sold em off cheap originally

Yes I noticed that.
So far tonight I have made some risotto - see here on how to cook it - http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/forum/general-discussion/loyd-grossman-risotto-rice/
I am now making some scones - have made 9 and only used a very small amount of the bag - and I have two bags! :rotfl:
Added some jam into the mix, so was sticky to roll out but they should be ready in 10 mins. :j
Tried some of the beans to and they taste good - think they are quite a cheap variety though.£4000 in 2011 - £48.88/£40000 -
