    Poundworld is a fab shop, the one near me is massive, about 3 times the size of poundland. Not a food related topic but I buy heat and cool sprays there for a quid, they also sell a generic version of berocca for a quid. They do eco cat litter as well, fab stuff, same stuff asda do for about a quarter of the price.
  • Orange matchmakers. It ain't Christmas without these. And it's a stockpile that has to be continuously replenished as SOMEBODY keeps eating them...

    Orange and Mint matchmakers £1 in Sainsburys at the minute :)
  • After eight mints half price at £1 in Tesco.
  • I've already got mincemeat and a few other bits. Now I'm on the look out for a good deal on Bendicks bittermints, and the next Sainsbury's 25% off wine deal...
  • Love this thread :-) I told my family last week I have started putting food bit away and they could'nt believe it!.

    So far I have put 3 packs of biscuits that have been on offer at asda 50p. Jammy dodgers I don't normally eat these as I was looking at them in Sainsburys for a 'treat' 2 for £2 :0 anyway, looking to add kettle chips when on offer too. :)

    These are £1 in co op I think as they were on the leaflet that came through my door today, along with Terry's choc orange for a pound too.... Mmmmmmm!!
  • I have lots of Mincemeat from last year too, bought at 20 odd pence a jar.

    I have seen boxes of Toffifee chocolates at £1 in Tesco (They are in some £1 shops at the moment as well)

    I have a xmas pudding left over from last year (brought one and won one in my xmas raffle)

    I will buy bits and bobs as/when it appears.

    I always buy things from Poundland. After eights, Toblerone etc all cheap in there.

    My flat mates mum works in Sainsburys and has 10% discount usually, in dec its 15% although I recall one year they had a weekend at 20% so we brought all our booze early.

    In general most of it is brought in December but afew bits here and there help
