    M Casserole Dish (1.8L) £1. Already been on the list for ages at £1.50:rotfl::eek:. There's also Microwave Bacon Tray and Microwave Plate at 50p each and an egg thing (that I took no details of and can't remember) at 50p but that's been cheaper before on RTC (went down to 38p I think). So, ignore the egg whatever it is as that's now "too expensive" and the other ones I have at the prices stated.

    Co-op tubs of mixed olives and feta cheese down to 82p, use by Feb
    Co-op Irresistible Vintage cheese truckle 350g £1
    Also cherry liqueurs 50p
    Galaxy Salted caramel bar cakes 25p (5 pack)

    I seem to have bought more Xmas food after the event than before it.

    Thanks Bubbs. Will have a potter.

    My A didn't have the 1kg cheddar, by the way. Just one for about 800g which was priced just under £4. I didn't get it price checked.
