    Have worked in food factories and kitchens and I don't rely on use by dates at all.

    The lab I worked in tested the nutritional make up of food. We did experiments to test the amount of protein, fat, sugar, salt and water in different foods and then worked out the calories etc. It also taught me to never trust the food labels :D
    Regular products would be tested annually. Goodness knows how many times I rechecked my test on the 'less than 5% fat' French dressing that came out at 30+% - I kept thinking about all the people thinking they were being good choosing it :eek: Someone must have muddled the recipes

    At last! As expected, by now, though:( - not v.good as I was hoping to be able to go out earlier in the evening and use the voucher but, now, late at night.

    Vs M
    1 x Radox Feel Uplifted Handwash - Pink Grapefruit & B...£1.90N/A:(:o
    1 x Radox Moisturising & Antibacterial Handwash - Cham...£1.90£1.00:(

    I was almost about to write this off as a complete failed shop - I have had those before - as seemed like the site would never retrieve the details. Was about to write it off as getting some cheap cod price but we did need the handwash (largely due to the fact that manufacturers generally are so mean they only put 250ml in the first place:rotfl:), but at least the cod compared:

    1 x Birds Eye Simply Large Cod Fillets in Breadcrumbs ...£3.98£1.99

    And...it was a lot better than the shop that gave the original voucher. They spent over £60 (:eek:it's usually over £100) and even then had Morries only £1.20 cheaper. With a lot lot fewer items, and a tenth of the spend, I managed to have M £2.90 cheaper! Lost a bit, so not as good as I was trying for!

    If you are wondering why it is £2.90 (not £2.91), I managed to get the right size of banana:
    0.13 x ASDA Bananas by Weight per kg£0.09£0.08

    You are the selfish one here - do you seriously think anyone wants to hear that - here - now?

    It takes an amazing amount of courage to take your own life.

    I have been there where PM was only(thankfully now) I was a coward I couldn't do it.

    So I would suggest to anybody reading this if you haven't been there personally don't make stupid ignorant comments cos I am and others will be devastated by your careless words

    I am in a shop

    OMG BB was right.....shouldn't have caught up :(

    if you didn't do it then you haven't been there. Now I understand why Sal has disappeared :(

    Sorry but totally typical of people who only post here with a 'crusade' mentality.

    I'll just be totally honest with you AA......you go on about having 'been there' you clearly haven't. Sal has been touched by it and relayed her experience.

    this post saddens me very much :(
