Swinco

Interestingly 43.64% of voters havent tried any of these short dated sites. I wonder if any of them actually did after reading this poll and wanted to change their vote but couldnt. Approved Foods online popularity shows after its massive media coverage whilst the other "unknowns" are yet to be established despite being unique in there own way. Interesting indeed, there is money to be saved using any of these sites.

You only save if it was something you would buy in the first place , looking at the site it it seems to have an awful lot of what I would call impulse buys , I would suspect people spend ( or rather buy ) more 'stuff' then they would normally .

After all at the end of the day its not what you save ...........its what you spend

Approved Foods

Just had my sixth (or possibly seventh ...) order from Approved Food delivered - all present and correct, really well packed with no damaged goods, and delivered inside the one hour time slot as notified by email. Perfect! I only buy the "healthier" stuff from them - lots of cereal bars for snacking, dried fruit, coffee beans etc., and reckon they do save me lots of money on the ever-increasing grocery bills. I really recommend them.

I tried Approved Foods once, but never again. A glass bottle broke, spilling sauce onto EVERYTHING and I phoned them. The guy offered me a 33p gift voucher.

I think this is SO true! Its easy to buy loads of rubbish because its cheap rather than what you use, if you are not careful.

I use approved foods regularly for baking ingrediants, water, gf items and tinned goods and I have to say I have never had a problem. Any issues have been resolved quickly and efficiently with Julian physically going and picking my stock and putting it on his desk until my next order was delivered!! Like any small business that grows quickly, it has had its teething troubles and the packing has improved massively since they first started.

For me it saves me a fortune on products that I would buy anyway and I have lots of storage so I can buy in bulk. I place 8-10 orders a year and would recommend them

Another Swinco order, and again very pleased. The 3 for £1 wholegrain mustard turned out to be Tesco Finest :beer: Our cat's happy with his Whiska's gift box. Cat milk, treats & a toy for 59p. Can't go wrong there....and he's not easily pleased
