Just had another inadvertent NSD - or at least it was unplanned, tomorrow thought might be another matter - like a pressure cooker about to explode!

Fingers crossed COS or Q put something nice on their lists for free tomorrow

The 900ml are £3 in shoes so £4 for 2 if you include the voucher.
Is this too expensive?

Yes - our target price is paid to take away ... followed by free .

Smell it and you can normally tell - sometimes the colour change is a seal break/oxidation(?) if I recall.

No, I wouldn't.

Open it and smell it, it will be rank.But if it is still in date, take it back unopened.

How is it discoloured? Is it browner? If so that is due to exposure to oxygen.

Have a look here (sorry, couldn't find British version).

Mhoc.
The bb cream from home bargains is 1.99 available in light or medium shades. I have been using the light for just over 2 years now I like it but I always use a powder over the top, I always have, as well. The medium is quite dark though.
Hth.

I was just reading the lidl leaflet.
The 830g cheese is 1.99 at the weekend as well not that many of us need cheese!

That's exactly what Mr TS tells me it has oxidised and never been ill.

Agree Seren if it smells off though to leave well alone. But as Anon said it may just be the air has got to it and caused oxidation and it's not actually off.
