Oykos pack of four salted caramel yogurts 75p
Big bite tubs of ice cream, caramel sauce, strawberry sauce and choc chip, two for £1.
Three boxes of Wrigleys extra white chewing gum for £1. Think the cartons have something like 50 in them and they are over £1 so these are great value.

I had the 6 rashers for 99p / 12 for £1.75 Oakpark back bacon from Heron Foods today.
What isn't marked clearly on the pack is that it is Irish bacon, it's absolutely delicious. Very little shrinkage and unlike some Irish bacon, not too salty.

I can't remember seeing these in Heron, ever, at least not in my branch. They have a fairly limited range of pasta, there tend to be more varieties of rice than pasta.

Only seen fresh filled pasta .Giovanni Rana and some in a generic packet - must been a supermarket's own label repackaged. Unsure of prices.

It's one of my favourite "Limited Edition" flavours (along with Turkish Delight if you remember that) so I bought a few quids-worth.
