    I love zoflora,I always buy the flowershop one and have done for over 30 years.I had quite an ahh moment recently when my granddaughter mentioned that while shopping recently with her mum they saw some Zoflora and my daughter said that it always reminds me of my mum and when I was little.Funny old things memories.

    My must-haves are Clarins, fags, Burgen bread, Flora pro-activ, HP Sauce, Bisto granules (but only as a stand-by for sausage etc) and copious amounts of red wine. I'm sure there are more but I have managed to give up Andrex Puppies on a roll!!

    My reasoning is that if I do as much OS as possible, I can save money to spend on the things I really want!

    I've tried, I really have, honestly but I just can't compromise on LURPAK.

    I wince when i look at the price, OH laughs that i root around looking for bargins and then blow all that I have saved on 1 tub of Lurpak spreadable.

    If I could find an alternative that does taste as good, I would change, its soooo extravagant.

  • Mine are:

    YSL Touch Eclat concealer
    My hairdresser
    Gravy Granules
    Nespresso coffee pods (only I drink it so a large container of coffee wastes)
    Jean Paul Gaultier Classique perfume and shower gel
    Green & Black's ice-cream (only occasionally - honest!)

    Oh the shame!!!

  • Another vote for gravy granules but only for things like sausages....can`t be faffing about with onion gravy...and ds has to have gravy smooth..no onion lumps:D

    I also buy ready made puff pastry as that is waaaay too much faff!

    and pots of custard as only ds eats it

    Rosie Lee I used to buy Lurpack but now use Tesco Butterpack spreadable.....its the same but cheaper:j

    Malt whisky. Sorry, but as I drink whisky neat, the blended stuff just doesn't do anything for me.
