    Wombled into the 'cheap food shop' TM This afternoon on the off chance of getting some cheap cereal (70p a box for branded cereals and still in date!) and left with some of what can only be called The Finest olives from a certain supermarket BB 2019 at 40p a jar. So I bought 10. Well, I could not have even bought 2 in the supermarket for that price. :p

    Also, just a heads up, I was in Morrisons this morning and there were a lot of yellow stickers for discontinued lines - lots down to 10p or 20p that were originally £2-£3 each.
    So it seems this time of year they are doing a stock-take/re-evaluation of lines, and they all had long shelf lives - 2018/19.

    So keep your wombling eyes open, there are massive bargains out there right now. :T

    Nice bargains, and thanks for the tip off :T
