    Just a thought mhoc.....

    Is this the first wine you've bought? I was thinking about the 20 item cap. I've not read of anyone confirming whether it kicks in or not. probably no one has reached 20 bottles of wine?

    Just checking, can we assume the number of items has now re-set as we are in a new calendar month? I hope so or OH is more than a quarter into his allowance due to the Grants :o:D

    As regards sprouts:rotfl:, what's wrong with the frozen ones? I had to get some recently, vs T at £1:eek::o - we were really desperate though and not seen the 75p prices on them for some time.

    Even at £1, for 1Kg, still cheaper than 10% off 69p for half that amount.

    Whilst the frozen broccoli, only in my opinion, is pretty rank:eek: - that S/P stuff that was vs M at 50p (for all of one week, in which M apparently were trying to clear it - before 'changing their mind' and having it at 90p ever since) - the frozen CBY sprouts are as good as the fresh ones IMO. Obviously they defrost during cooking:rotfl:, just like you don't eat raw, fresh sprouts. Even when we get other items fresh, on glitches, I notice many people here still freeze the products, so really, fresh or frozen (and then defrosted later), seems to make no difference. I can't tell any difference - but then I don't tell much difference between "value" products and "posh" brands:rotfl::rotfl:! Or - I do tell the difference, and they can even be clearly different but the difference is still a good taste or, even, sometimes I like the taste of the "value" product better than the brand, precisely because it's a different taste!

    Anyway - the CBY Frozen Sprouts say "Frozen for Freshness":huh: - what's that all about? Either they are fresh or they are frozen. How can they be frozen for "fresh"ness and thus not "fresh" but frozen instead? And once they are defrosted after being frozen, they had still previously been frozen and can't (IMO) be put back to "fresh". How does that one work?!?:rotfl:
