    Big bags of Apricots, were £4.99 down to 50p ( I bought 4)

    16 x d/f choc bunnies, were £1.24 down to 24p + 1 for a penny (guess the shop) so 8 for £1 (£2 for 16) - will make the cookies more interesting in the old lunchboxes.

    ho ho ho!

    Foxy - what do they make dairy free chocolate with? Coconut or almond milk, maybe? Just wondering what it might taste like. Good womble in any case!

    I've just got another £2 to add in egg sales. I did spot a penny on the floor when I was in a local primary school for my Welsh language class, but the bell for breaktime went and a sudden swarm of excited children hampered my collecting ability and after it had cleared the penny was lost. :(

    I will be getting my online food shop later, which I have used coupons and vouchers on, so I will report back later.

    Happy wombling everyone x
