I'm a school teacher with a 30 minute commute to work. So every holiday I head down the retail park to go to either Family Bargains or B&M to stock up on cereal bars, which I have for breakfast on the drive to work.
FB in particular have a really good, cheap range, with the major brands represented. They range from 99p a box to about £1.49. Significantly cheaper than in the supermarkets! I grab 6 boxes and that's weekday breakfasts sorted until the next school holiday!
FB are also fab for squashes and cartons of juice for lunch boxes. They sell 10-pack cartons of light Ribena for 99p.Because it's fun to have money!

I agree morrisons value choc is good for 30p! Sainsburys choc is 33p in their value range, which is just as good. I know it's just over 50p but aldi do a bunch of 6 bananas for 68p and they're not little piddly ones!
