    Nearly forgot.

    Bought this in Farmfoods

    2 X 500g Flora with lunchbox for 99p.

    Dated end December:)

    I'm so happy to have a normal lunchbox. I've got fancy ones from Lakeland with little compartments, bottles and cutlery. Multi lidded ones that are a nightmare to wash and you can't fit a decent sandwich in any of them:rotfl:

    Went to Iceland to buy some more cheese intending to pay with Love to Shop vouchers. They had sold out so went for a look around Farmfoods.
    Bought Toblerone £1
    Hobknobs 69p
    Fingers 59p
    Kitchen Rolls £1.29
    And bargain of the day.....cranberry sauce 10p. There's only me likes it so happy with the odd jar for Christmas day:)

    There was also some Scott's sachets of porridge 10 for £1 but I gave plenty of those.

    Slightly more expensive but twin packs of Cathdral City are £3.50 in A - may be cheaper than spending on petrol going to Iceland (and time).
