    Heads up vegetable fans!

    Untested - I've not looked at the whole range but the mince looks like a good bet.

    Could be £3.30 back on £4.00 (+fillers) spend.

    I took a bottle of Moet for the MacMillan Christmas raffle yesterday and did feel slightly ashamed that it wasn't quite as big a gesture as it appeared:o

    Thing is thats because we know where it comes from but to a charity it is something that they may be able to see as a generous gift that can help towards much needed funds for which they are greatful.

    A similar thing has happened to me with the "box of bottles" I sent along for the school christmas fayre bottle stall...all glitchy items in bottles shampoos bubble baths etc and a bottle of fizz...theres probably enough to keep them going most of the afternoon and the "real" cost to me no more than £10 but it will hopefully raise them some money .....they were delighted.

    Not got one myself, but a quick look in the FAQs brought this up:

    How many people can benefit from an offer per card?

    Normally a maximum of six persons per offer per card unless otherwise stated. Please check the terms and conditions of the offer you are interested in for confirmation of these details.

    thanks for this, that makes things simple :D

    I also think if you can make what looks like a generous donation it encourages others to make the effort and see what they can donate as well

    Untested and own brand stuff so more risky than usual - no idea if anything compares or is cheaper elsewhere.

    If you normally buy these then why not check them out and report back ;)

    I'm guessing that the 2 for £2.50 pies are more expensive in-store than £1.

    Thanks Munqui,
    The 2 for £2.50 slices pictured in the top pic were all £1 in store when I saw them on Monday if that's any help x

    i've never used quorn products before but was actually talking to someone a few weeks ago about them and they were saying the mince is really good for spagetti bolognaises or chilli's....

    I might give that one a go Munqui if I go out later...thanks...at that potential price it compares well with the reduced yellow sticker mince I normally buy in bulk when its available!

    SO it looks like mystery reds whites and fizz is back in stock at T....I just had to wander over to check because Di did!

    NO I CANT!
    Go on you know you want to!
    It was the mystery cases I was going to look at originally but decided cheap prosecco was a better idea because my champagne reserves are dropping rapidly.

    Girls I'm not letting you lead me astray......:o

    I know I want to...but there really is no where left to put it...the utility room is literally heaving with bottles of various shapes sizes and styles...

    I have now got 40 bottles of champagne in preparation for DS1's 18th just after christmas and as yet he hasn't decided if he actually wants a party! (not to mention almost 20 other fizzy ones and some assorted wines)

    if I were to order more there would be certain mutiny in the house!

    Has the mutiny been spreading. :eek:
