We are very lucky. But.. we still have to hope that they've picked up both of the non-trigger items we use (and recognised the deal). (Actually I think the Fanta Exotic is the one I couldn't find in my store:mad::mad:. So maybe no luck.)

There's still some good Avs T items (and glitches) available and, when my act is together, I'll do that list on here (if it lets me - there's over 1,000 items(!) that have been added to my own private list at the moment - for me, nothing new as much of it the usual ones, and some of them out-of-date).

I've just gone on MSM.co.uk and looked at (what they call) the 'Savvy Buys' on there - and straight away I've noticed this:
Sun-Maid Californian Raisins (500g) A £3.45 T 80p!
Hope this is a good start, and I'll go through the rest in due course. Does anyone know if the BE Cod Fish Fingers are still glitching vs T? And please can you remind me of the exact ones they are? TIA.

The raisins were spotted last night and tried today but failed miserably x

Yes thats it exactly. The people at risk are those in the manufacturing and handling who are not adequately protected from breathing in large quantities of dust. Once it is in food there aren't(or weren't before I retired) any of those risks involved as a "chemical". The article I think mentions that it sometimes isn't declared as a food additive because it is a purified form of a naturally occuring material and technically can be found in foods that claim "contains no artifical additives/colours" etc

I have no problem eating it. What may cause some concern is that the same basic material is used for paints, plastics and food etc but the food grade is a specific very pure product tailored for that purpose. The paint grades are further modified with other chemicals to make them compatible with the various applications and would not be suitable for food

thank you sound like you had an interesting job

Interesting but challenging...used to make my brain hurt a lot at times:rotfl:

When DD was young she used to boast to friendS that her Dad knows everything because he's a SCIENTIST!:rotfl::rotfl: (Project Scientist was my job title on business cards)

So could it be 3 big ones and 4 mini ones- do they do finest minis so you can use a finest moc?

Dont think anyone has answered this as yet. . . ?


The finest mini's seem to be excluded this time, least in any of my stores tried today, the 2 for £3 has dissappeared plus of the four stores I tried there was very few mini finest to be had - real shame as I have used this 25% deal to stock up on them for a few years.


B.H Merlot was the best deal I could find on mini's today, one store had loads of J.C Shiraz mini's late last night and a big empty shelf this morning at 8.30 (think they've finally sussed this one )

It is true that after being in use for over 80 years it is being looked at, along with many other man made and natural substances as a possible carcinogen. That's as much as the article, for whatever motive, chooses to reveal. The property giving a possible link to being a carcinogen is the fact that it is a fine dust when being processed and handled in bulk and breathing in the dust is the problem, causing irritation to the respiritory tract, and not ingesting it in food. As a chemical it is extremely durable, inert and the body cannot absorb it.....on a lighter note have you ever wondered why some dog poo is white?;)

I do like it when you get all clever on us Artha!

SOmeone was talking about Yorkshire puds earlier (still catching up, only 3 pages to go!).
I have always cooked them using milk, but someone suggested trying using water instead (my landlady!) they were great, but further development is that if you put a tablespoon of powdered milk (skimmed milk type, not coffee compliment type) into the mix, they are the best yorkshires ever!! Trust me and try it!

I only tried the minis in an express so limited stock. Only 2 of the reds were on 2 for £3. I bought the JC Shiraz. Im sure there will be more 2 for £3 in the bigger stores. I was hoping to get BH merlot, but my express doesn't stock it
