Herons have gone right down hill. OK if you don't have transport to get to Aldi or somewhere, or passing by and popping in for a couple of bits. But certainly not worth a trip on it's own as the range and choice of stock is so dire these days.

I wonder if some areas where Heron stores are have better stocks than others? Possibly they are served from different warehouses. I was really pleased with the offers in my local Heron on my most recent visit (posted earlier in the thread). I'd planned a visit the other day, but the weather kyboshed that, I can't cycle in more than an inch or so of snow, and that's how I get to mine.
Ironically, my Aldi is actually nearer.

I am entering new territory here...looks like I am going to have to do some bulk buying at FF, take advantage of a voucher and split the shop. Aside from the promoted offers, what is actually worth having? (I generally don’t eat processed foods).

I only get frozen veg king prawns milk etc from FF.

Farmfoods doesn't have much in the way of special offers, though their ordinary prices are pretty competitive.

Heron's the place for really low prices on short-dated food. Couple more here lifted from HUKD.

Bear in mind, though, that they may not be national, and that they tend to sell out quite quickly:

3 packets of Jus-Rol pastry for £1.00 (filo,shortcrust and puff)

Nestle Shreddies 750g 2 for £1

36 box of Walkers crisps (12 Quavers, 12 Wotsits, 12 Monster Munch) £2.49

8 x plastic bottle pack - £1.49
4 x glass bottle pack - £1

A new thread, just for Heron Foods, as this one is now some years old.
