  • I tend to go into Iceland and look for there half price chickens etc. Quite often I get a large chicken for £2.50.
    My daughter scanned one of our new fobs the other day and got a £2 off £20 voucher.
    If I see some cheap chicken this week I will stock up on frozen peas,sweetcorn etc to use the coupon but I will only buy the things that I will need in the near future.

    Thanks for the explanations. I threw away the bonus card I used to have because I just ended up with those scratch cards for rubbishy food that I'd never buy anyway or things I could get cheaper elsewhere. I told the cashier this every time she asked for my card for some months after. Maybe the message has got through!!

    I find that most of what they sell in Iceland is cheaper in Farmfoods but I'll certainly think about getting another card.

    Best buys in Iceland IMO are Burgen Bread for £1 (£1.40 most places) and flavoured water for the children (used to be Perfectly Clear).

    Are these frozen £2.50 chickens or fresh ones?

    I think what she's saying is that she fairly often gets a £5 chicken reduced to £2.50 because it's on it's use by date, stuff gets half priced in the morning before the shop opens generally so if you go in at pretty much open time you can sometimes pick up a few things.
