Iceland made me happy :)

went in today as i needed main freezer bits, saw their small boxes of washing powder & thought id grab one just so i don't run out before i do a big cleaning shop, they are only £1 so thought may as well.. got to the till and it scanned at 50p

also go washing up liquid 2 bottles for 50p
6 pack of quavers for 50p
multi pack of time-out biccys for 50p
philli cheese for 75p

ive not seen them with reduced bits before so i was very happy

You did well. I quite like having a mooch around Iceland, they often have good offers on tea and non frozen stuff. It's a shame their TV adverts often portray the shop as having nothing but junk food.

I know, their milk is currently very good value, fruit & veg isnt too badly priced either.
Its good for picking up bits and pieces.

I've still got half a freezer full of reduced Christmas stock from Iceland which I bought in January!

They reduced their party food, festive desserts etc by 75%, and I stocked up! All with great dates too.

they half price their fresh meats on it's use by date which is a great saving.

They have those Fray Bentos pies in tins - that's the only way I can describe them - £1.00 at Iceland and £2.49 at tesco.

Iceland is one of my favourite places to shop! I think it gets forgotten about because of all the Aldi/Lidl shoppers, but it's definitely worth the trip!

i usually shop at sainsburys and havent been to iceland until last week , i was amazed by the prices and spent like £40 , i have a large chest freezer in the garage and bought loads of frozen veg as i reckon its just as good as fresh plus as i am only cooking for 1 i can grab a bit of what i need

i know it gets a bad rep for selling cheap ready meals but some of the deals are really good better than the big 4 can offer , if iceland has something for a pound its a pound unlike asda/tesco who have it for £2 the roll it back to a pound to con the customers in to thinking they are getting a deal

After reading this thread I called into Iceland: Flora at £1, Cornish wafers (DD1's favourite) at 2 for 75p (IIRC), Heinz ketchup at £1 with 33% extra and a good browse around to check out what's there for when I might need it.
