Family member might be nicking bacon, cheeses & razors. Do i shop with them?

Recently a member of my family has been selling lots of bacon, cheeses & razors. A text will come through usually mid afternoon asking anyone if they want to buy some cheap goods! Its £1 for a 12pk of bacon, £1 for any block of cheese except stilton which is £2 and any pack of razors for £2. They have just text saying they'll have tea and coffee available soon and as they are branching out into new markets would it be good to shop with them?

I did have a niggle that some of these goods might be stolen but i've been assured that they come from a reputable supplier :cool2: as its January and we're pretty skint, this would save us some money!

    I wouldn't shop with him, You can buy razors and Stilton for cheaper than that in the supermarket! And is he properly refrigerating the bacon and cheese?

    I dont know if its properly refrigerated but they do offer home delivery so they must have something. The goods are all top of the range, the razors especially are like 10 quid a pack so its a good deal :D

    He would be better off sticking to a theme - eg, the ingredients needed for a cheese and bacon sandwich (ie, replace the razors with bread).
    Never again will the wolf get so close to my door :eek:

    Ikr! Nick with his broken unit or phone lost on a beach in Barcelona. This is a real world dilemma with all the competition out there for your custom at supermarkets :eek:
