Were they Lorne sausages by any chance?

No they're Belchers of Ayrshire - blue bag.

Heron's in North Shields have Bird's Eye Hake in cheese and leek sauce at £2.50 for two which is nice. They had the fish in chilli and lime recently for £1.50 for two but I haven't seen it for a few weeks now.

Their Thick and Creamy yogurts are the same as Lidl's (in different packaging) and are around the same price.

Lorne isn't a brand it's a type of sausage. Square patty instead of links

Oh right In that case I think they might well be Lornes - never heard of that before.

Heron's have done Lorne sausage for years, it is a name for generic square sausage.
I was in Heron yesterday for my regular mooch - they had Perle de Lait Coconut yogurt four packs at 3 for £1.20 or 50p each.
Also a litre of pomegranate juice, 2 for £1, 60p each.
After Eight dessert two-packs were 60p. (Very rich, just had one.)
I noticed some small-ish frozen ducks for £5.99, if anyone fancies duck for Easter.
Butterkist toffee popcorn, 2 200g bags for £1 (the packs featured an expired competition, long use - by - date).
Kingsmill crumpets (6 to a pack) are seemingly always on offer at two packs for £1.
Thanks for spotting the Oreos, PinkTiger, will have to look out for those!

I shop in Heron's a lot..tried a pack of their sliced corned beef, it looked really lean, but only the top slice was, underneath very fatty slices.

Farmfoods - Hellmans 750ml Mayo in squeezy bottle - both normal and ligh versions - £2. I checked online for the prices and the big 4 are charging double!

Farmfoods are really good for quorn products. Also lots of their veg is great value. They have spinach and mushy peas much cheaper than anywhere else. Their loo roll always gets good reviews.
