    They also give you excellent information about when your parcel has been despatched and, on the day of delivery itself you can check on-line for the hour time-slot when it should be delivered. Saves waiting in all day!

    And, as others have said, even though some of the Best Before dates are past, everything I've ever had has been excellent. Let's face it, jars of sauces and tins of food will last for years. Even the packet stuff isn't a problem. Most manufacturers give shortened timescales to cover themselves, on a 'just in case' basis. Years ago I used to work in a food research lab for a well-known food manufacturer. This was in the days before BBE dates were on everything. Periodically we would send agents round obscure little village shops, buying samples of our stock that had been on the shelves for (in some cases) years. (All stock had a number giving production line and date of manufacture). Anyway, the oldest thing we ever tested was a pack of ten-year-old custard. Still perfectly acceptable!

    Give AF a try - you won't regret it. Well, apart from the fact that you will wish you had six times as many kitchen cupboards to fit everything in. :)

    Their RRPs make the savings look a bit high but I ten to do an wee check up versus asda and it's about a third to a half cheaper. I order maybe every 2 months? And get the bulk catering packs muffins, bread, pastry etc.
