Sadly the roasting bags didn't work:

I have an APG of 21p! (On both old and new sites.)
It may be, though, that I got the wrong bags? They were rtc to 50p, Bacofoil flavour seal roasting bags, 5, large size, bc 5 023139 860210, in an orange pack.
I decided this was a brilliant price for these bags and probably have enough now for some years so am not too fussed that it didn't work, though a large APG would have been very nice...0 -

Thank you. Ah well, win some and lose some. At least I got the right size and there were definitely no 8 packs on the shelf. (This was Queensferry if anyone wants any of the packs I got -- there were loads left on the shelf and some foil ones rtc either to 50p or £1, I can't remember.)0 -

Just been googling barcodes for a nice long womble I found. Kingsmill was one of the items, this page came up and might be handy to keep to generate BCs as there are usually a few bread products on shopiteyes

I've screen shot it but it came from booker's website. Maybe others on there we could use
Off to catch up on old thread first

Oh! I thought the medium ones didn't work? Have a feeling there were some in my local and I ignored them! May pop out tomorrow as I have lost track of what is rtc in the Bold/dishwasher tablets area. Thank you, poppypopster.0
