  • I know - went yesterday! Also the Youngs extra large fish fillets in bubbly batter are only £1 for 2, and the Ben and Jerry's chocolate brownie frozen yoghurt is 2 tubs for £2.50. The Panbello (dr oetker) pizzas are only £1 each, as are the twin pack Chicago Town individual pizzas.

    I really like Farmfoods - sure they sell loads of processed stuff which may not be the best for you but they also have great value frozen veg, dry goods, bread, milk, dried pasta, rice and tinned staples like beans.

    As farmfoods can sell branded goods so cheaply, it does make you wonder about mark ups in other stores.
    Really impressed with the ben & jerrys offer though!! They're usually £2.50 each on offer at Tesco, if they're ever on offer...

    Pack of 5 Penguin cake bars for 39p.
  • Of all the frozen food they sell I only buy the Summer Fruits. £1 a bag and, when they do the 3 for 2 offer on them, I really stock up on them.

    I am, however, a fan of their fresh produce. Currently 500g grapes £1 and 10 oranges £1. Love their Italian salad leaves too for around 70p (forget exactly how much!). Their fresh Best Lean Beef Mince, 2 x 500g packs for £5, is excellent value too.

    Like all shops you have to be selective whether it's to avoid processed food or get good value for money.


    I've been pleased with their fresh produce too, good addition to the range. I bought many of their large bags of potatoes during the winter, especially when Maris Piper.


    I used to buy their frozen fish (plain cod or haddock) but since bags have shrunk it's not such good value. Now I go to Iceland instead, similar price but bigger pieces.


    My favourite in the frozen veg is the cut leeks. They're excellent value, no waste and saves time prepping. Great for adding to soups and casseroles.


    Always buy the Nicky toilet rolls and kitchen roll and Branston beans (our favourite) are always 3 for £1.

    Thanks for this didn't know they did summer fruits for £1, was paying 1.79 in asda and then switched to aldi 1.49 but £1 sounds great.
