  • Silver Spoon granulated sugar 50p for a 1Kg bag.
  • There’s a new range of bath salts come on, in a fancy looking tub. A coconut one, charcoal one, Himalayan salt one, etc. 1.99 each. I’ve been using the coconut bath salts, and they work like Epsom salts but moisturise too!

    The almond version looks good!

    Eta: now I've tried it I can say with authority that its not the king of biscuits by any means (thankfully I didn't have to buy it first!). Lidl does better with its Sondey biscuits when on 1/2 price offer.

    If you're into Marie Kondo or just want some gift boxes- they have some gorgeous designs in at the moment. I found them mixed in with the unicorn and mother's day stuff. £2.49 for ones with removable lids and £2.99 for ones with velcro flap lids. I liked the pale pink with metallic copper spots, but there are a few to choose from. Much better priced than T.K. Maxx who want £7.99-£9.99 for the same thing.
