    you can blame the Welsh Assembly for the 5p charge on your McD's bag!

    Mcd won't get me to buy a burger or a bag I would not eat one for a grand :rotfl::rotfl:

    As for the assembly just another load of fat cats on the gravy train for there own benefits and corporate interests. And not looking out for evreday folk on the street :(

    Coffee - it has to be Douwe Egbert's OR at a push Kenco - whichever is cheapest when I need to replenish my stash. Almost, but not quite, brand loyal! I can't think of anything that I just always buy 1 brand?

    Ooooh I just thought of something else - Quorn! Nothing else comes close to their chicken style pieces or their beef style mince.

    My Oh will only have the Nescaf! Azera Americano coffee or the intenso - just wish there was a looks likey. It costs £2 when its on offer for 100g.
    He also insists on Heinz salad cream and colmans mustard - I have managed to get him eating quite a few own brand things now but until recently he would rather chew his own foot off :)
    I like Linda mcarthy red onion veggie sausages - not found anything that compares to these.

    Read the comments maybe also £5 off £10

    So it would be a £30 plus 20% vat ie a £36 spend - still a good offer. Printer ink is the first thing that comes to mind, start of the new term and something that you always need to have in readiness

    I can't get the page to open, have to log on via the main computer
    I wonder what size it is? If its cabin size is it Ryanair comparable?

  • We used to eat some of the Linda McCartney stuff BUT they have changed the formulations so much that hubby has gone into Anaphylaxis twice with products he's eaten before - no more Linda McCartney stuff for us anymore!

    Douwe/Kenco is instant coffee only. If we want a 'proper' coffee as hubby does 5-6 times a day it's beans or grounds - instant with ground coffee bits in just doesn't crack it.

    Well at least it was a productive day. OH has fixed a broken window pane in the porch - you would have thought he would have had enough fixing and mending for now.

    And I've completed, printed off and posted my letter which has been in drafts for 6 weeks. :j Inevitably I missed off stuff which I remember ed as soon as I posted the letter so tommorow I'll start another one which hopefully won't take 6 weeks to finish :)

    Good afternoon,we were brand loyal to H ketchup until we tried aldi's, it's just as good, I suppose the only brand I won't divert from is for my cola, although I will drink either Pepsi or coke but not own brands :o, the rest get what ever I buy :rotfl:

    Have you tried Lidl freeway cola though. It's a good one xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
