in Gone off!
In Sainsburys yesterday, Billingtons golden caster sugar 1kg was half price £2.40 to £1.20. A bargain I think
Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)
It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound in weight. Target 13 lbs weight loss. 18.5lbs lost 2nd May - 28 September.

    If you do a search for caster sugar on ispyprices it shows Ocado & Iceland are the cheapest right now at 98p/kg & £1.15/kg respectively.

    I can't post a link.

    Be careful not to 'blitz' too long, or you end up with icing sugar:eek:

    Actually ive tried that, and its not possible to get it as fine as icing sugar. Although it looks like icing sugar, it still has a grainy texture
