    afternoon all :wave:

    :T:T:T:T hubby's headed off to a's to collect his order at 1pm which was the earliest slot i could get :o told him what he can & can't accept as subs & told him to phone me if he's not sure about anything :rotfl::rotfl:
    told him to check in store to see what other ones are £2 while he's there :)
    looks like i'm on a roll now this year as 1st i found the CG soups that worked out 40p & now these for 11p :D (hopefully) :o
    i feel like i'm pulling my weight on here a little now :o:rotfl:

    :rotfl: My oh was going to pick up our c&c yesterday on his own as ds2 is porly....ended up getting mil to come and sit with him for half an hour so I could go with him and make sure subs were ok :rotfl: Not that I don't trust him or anything :eek:

    You can turn stale/lefover bread into breadcrumbs and freeze (if you have room); good for thickening soups and stews, savoury toppings.


    If you get a greyish or white discolouration on chocolate, it is still safe to eat:
    "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]If the chocolates you received develop some whitish discolor[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]ation on th[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]e surface, the chocolate is still safe to eat. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1] The whitish discoloration is called "fat bloom," which occurs when cocoa butter separates from the crystallized chocolate mixture and comes to the surface, says Dr. Barbara Struempler, an Extension nutritionist with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System"
    http://lancaster.unl.edu/food/ciqtips-blooming-chocolate.htm

    "[/SIZE][/FONT]Although it might look a little less appetizing than a lustrous, rich chocolatey-brown piece of candy, chocolate that has suffered bloom is still okay to eat. You may find the texture of sugar-bloomed chocolate to be a bit grainy on the outside, but it should still taste good."

    If the look or texture of it puts you off eating it 'neat', use it for baking.

    (I've got a mate who's in charge of Quality Street production and he's a mine of information on all things chocolatey:) PD will no doubt know a lot about it as well.)

    Nivea Men Dry Impact Anti-Perspirant Deodorant (250ml)
    and Nivea Men Invisible for Black & White 48h Anti-PerspirantDeodorant Power (250ml) are both on offer at £1.50 in W's.

    They are £3.29 on line. Has anyone checked how much they are in store because if these were also £2 then these would be a better return. Plus we could order more deodorants at a time. :D
    just spoke to hubby & there are 4 that are £2 & he's taken a pic even though i didn't ask him too :T:T:T
    i'll upload it when he gets home ;) he's just on his way to c&c now :)
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:

    Apg compares what you ordered not what you were subbed.

    Although no help to you if saying not enough items bought. :(

    What did you order please as may help to know what's not shown up.

    Thank you for reply. I ordered toblerones, flump, haribo starmix, feline x 2 different flavours, sanex x 2, banana, brown onion, white onion, clementines, mushrooms, dove.
    Subbed were toblerones, flump for a tanfastic,felines for 2 different flavours and sanex for different type.

    Hope that helps. cheers.

    Hi bubbs, and everyone else:D
    I think I'd have been tempted to scrape off the 'fur' and use it; maybe that's just me:rotfl:
