BB Reading your post makes me wish I had a Farm Foods near by.

I forgot to add sliced cabbage to the 59p list.
Farmfoods eggs are £1 for 15, when you are on a tight budget every penny counts and you can't be fussy about ethical farming.

Purple kitten where is your nearest store?
There is a list here:
farmfoods.co.uk

Can't do a proper link using the tablet for some reason x

Thanks BB, I checked previously its about 40mins drive over to Gravesend so kind of defeats the object in fuel. I can't complain we have a lidl local since it opened last year.

This may sound a bit sad but when we go camping we found a FF close to us, and stocked up on a few bits and pieces, but that was a while ago now, just as well we are off camping again soonish. :-)

Not sad at all! We did exactly the same when we were camping near Tonbridge (or was it Tunbridge Wells!).

I think that calories will have to come from carbohydrates such as flour, potatoes rice and pasta.
