I have managed to find some things to buy... Rice, Pasta, Baby Wipes, thinking of buying beer & other items with the rest for presents later in the year.
Also Heinz Beans & Soup cheapest they've been in 12 months at 50p a tin!!
Not sure what cleaning products to buy, are A Smart Price products that bad? or should I go for brands?
You could always turn £40 into 10 toblerones and a new £33.25 APG

Owt in tins/jars, obviously and dried pasta and rice keeps forever; toilet roll, kitchen roll; toiletries; washing up liquid and other cleaing products; lightbulbs; or if you can use the APGs on non-food items, what about sheets and bedding, towels, etcDeleted_User wrote: »Trying to stock up for the house I'm renovating that'll be moving into in a few months time, so wanting things that don't need to be stored in a fridge or freezer with a long date life.'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

An update on Fourp's Mum
She had the brain op on Monday but still hasn't regained consciousness
:(:(
I'm off to see her tomorrow on the train, hopefully will be able to offer a shoulder to Fourp.
He left here on Christmas Day wearing his Christmas jumper, no luggage, so I have packed some clothes & the requested items to take down.
