    Just seen this on 10 ways - buy 3 Uncle Bens items in iceland and get a free wok worth £7.99 - not done this yet myself so I dont know how good the wok is (or exactly how you recycle your previous wok) - some items are only £1 but the sauces have 50% extra in them so possibly these are the best value at £2 (not sure if the extra 50% would freeze down in a zip lock bag?)

    Don't forget to use your Iceland bonus card

    I imagine this is instore only, not for online orders?

    I mainly do it on a manned till (just coz of the moc rejections on SS), but have in the past done it on SS(SA assisting).

    i got this offer about 6 months back, the woks are ok. at the time i needed a slightly smaller wok than the one i had, so it would fit in the dish washer better.

    dont know anything about the recycling bit though

    Thanks fuzzy :) a way of saving your wombles, if you're doing a bit shopping at the same time ;)

    I still preferred it when you didn't have to 'spend' the full amount of apg on groceries though :)

    sorted now by your answer to chris. computer will say no. what happened was your wombles went towards your shopping. the cash you paid went towards the gc
    a little confusing but sorted now.

    Computer still says NO zippy - unless you're also spending the amount of apg's on other things too.
