Bargain buys from Iceland?

GreyQueen

Ohh, lots of useful stuff in Iceland, I'm a regular customer.

Milk at £1 for 4 pints.
Burgen linseed bread £1.
Eggs have gone up recently, but still not to bad; £1.75 for 15.
Check out the chill cabinet for keen prices on bacon and cheese.

Always good to look at storecupboardy things like Bisto granules and other stuff like that. Cooking oil is competitive. Ownbrang oven chips are very good value.

Fresh veggie section will be small but there are some reasonable offers there from time to time.

A little bird tells me they do their whoopsie reductions first thing in the morning and the smart gals are there waiting for the door to open.

Best deal in store at the mo from my point of view are the 4-packs of Princes tuna at £3 which is £1 cheaper than Lidl.....

Best price for Pink Lady apples - 4 pack for £1.50. Supersized back bacon pack for only £3. Cheap milk, sugar, choccie biscuits (lunchbox), good crisp offers.

Milk, eggs, oranges, frozen veg, ice cream normally for us, then anything on offer - last week I picked up a lot of diet coke as it was really cheap.

Often their veggie stuff is cheap too as are things like potato waffles (mind you, I only have a co-op to compare it to).

As others have mentioned, their milk is at a good price, bread and eggs tend to beat tesco in my experience too. Cheese I find cheaper in Iceland as well.

I've also noticed their bags of frozen "white fish" (pollock last time I checked) are cheap and good, if you like fish.

About the cheapest cheese you can find, £5/kg mature cheddar.

Free range eggs, as said above, are cheap.

Frozen veg is very good value and a good selection.

Good for 'junk food' like fizzy juice and crisps, although home bargins is just accross from ours and sometimes beats it. Iceland often has 2 3l bottles of coke/sprite for £3.

Pizzas are good and cheap. Chinese takeaway stuff is good too. The sweet and sour chicken and crispy sweet chilli beef are the 2 we go for, they are very similar to take away but £1.50 a portion. We either do with a stir fry, or uncle bens egg fried rice for a really lazy dinner.

OH rates thier own brand stilton.

I was dubious about the fish, but following the good reviews here I might try it.

Same here but I tried Iceland's fish for the first time a couple of weeks ago. They were a decent size and cooked really well. Only £3 for 5 portions. I have since gone back and stocked up!

Our Iceland does a pack of bacon pieces 800g for £2.00p so useful for cooking, they also do ham, turkey, chicken, pork and beef offcuts for £1.75p for 450g. I like their buy two for £1.00 on kingsmill rolls, crumpets, muffins and potato cakes all of which freeze very well.
