Squigs....could you hear the rally from your end today? Very loud :eek: and I suspect why our Sainsburys petrol station was one of the excluded ones. Also is there a concert on in town tonight? A very loud one? I've just been stood outside and can hear a very loud rendition of 'I wanna be like you' from Jungle book. Sounded far away but loud :eek:

Thanks for asking, all is quiet at the moment, maybe as I don't work weekends. and because we realised there is another 2 candidates for the tealeaf. Ex staff members who left before I started and the keysafe numbers have not been changed or the alarm so they have access, so have changed all numbers and doing regular stocktakes and monitoring the situation. Fingers crossed that all is ok now.

I always thought 'Best Before' means 'OK After.'

It does. Apart from (I understood) eggs.
I have no problem with the concept of "Best before". It simply means that it's "best" before..., as it says! In other words, it may be alright afterwards but not necessarily it's "best". Who wants things "best" all the time anyway?:cool:

I really don't care at all about BB. In the same way that, I suspect, I don't care about branded items. (They often seem inferior to me:rotfl: - possibly because of the huge quantities spent on advertising, that I don't watch:money:, rather than going into the product. I don't know - maybe it's because I've been onto something else and now returned to them... the one item I would go for was (still is if the price is decent;)) Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes. I tried Lidl's Crownfield as prices on Kellogg's more recently have, until now, been way too high for me and A's own brand shot up - it's now back at £1.48 for 750g but Kellogg's 750g Avs T works out cheaper;) - and I thought, of Crownfield, they are different but quite nice. Now I'm back to Kellogg's (the BB, although September, was sooner than every other cereals pack in my line:eek:, so it is now the first in line) and I'm thinking Kellogg's aren't as nice:rotfl:. I prefer SP Cornflakes as well!:eek::eek::rotfl: I think I've long liked the different taste of the Value range lines of standard Corn Flakes - perhaps it is the crispiness of Kellogg's, that maybe makes it "better" but which I actually don't like as much - I prefer the value ranges!

I'm not suggesting Kellogg's aren't quality. They are their own quality.

It would not surprise me if branded items in general - no reference to Kellogg's - turned out to be inferior products that the general public very largely believes are better products. In my view, they are neither better nor worse. They are legally allowed to sell value range products, so - there mustn't be anything that bad about them in my view! The value range can be just as good and, in some cases for me, even better than the usually highly expensive brand version. Or maybe not usually if it is regularly part of a glitch:rotfl:.)

On BBs, I really don't care about things being "best". I'm concerned almost solely with safety - whether they will make me unwell if I eat something. Except if something was completely tasteless and tasted of nothing at all due to being so old, I really don't care if something is past its BB by months or sometimes years (depends on the product) - all I care really is if it is going to kill me or not. If the answer is no, then I'm not bothered how old it is even if it is still edible.

T promotes it's BG in relation to "big brands". Clearly, the public generally must put a lot into the big brands. The question for me is why do they do so? Why do people (people generally seem to) care about big brands? And why is a "big" brand, therefore, because the supermarket (or others) chooses to describe it as a "big" brand, superior? In my view, if they say it, then it must be wrong:rotfl:. I am not going to grant any more (or less) credence to something simply because it is described as "big". And if "big" relates to size, which clearly it does, and is a description that is factual because it relates to how large something is in terms of its sales etc., then all it says it that it is popular. We know that the most popular items - for example on the APGs the ones that they incessantly get when they are on A r'back - are always the worst possible items to get! If it's popular and it's selling, it's making them money. Therefore, the only possible things to buy (if we are actually to save money rather than fall for their claims that we will do so and end up paying them more) must be anything but:rotfl:. We save money by buying anything except what they want us to buy!

(This also relates to buying unseasonally as well:money:. If you buy when "everyone else" is doing so, in the run up to the season itself, or as a result of popular television advertising, you will very likely pay the highest possible price. Buy at a different time and buy something else instead now.)
