    Well they shouldn’t t do but it depends how many you bought I suppose.

    Thanks to the op who posted a pic showing exactly where the contactless part is on the Santander atm . I managed a couple there today .

    Twas me :D

    I might do a few envelopes by deliberately not having enough in my bank to cover the payment, try a couple of times then transfer money back afterwards.

    Seriously though thanks ILTS. I didn't partake in getting gift sets before Xmas in As at least this way I don't have to remember to use any APGs :T

    Just hope my Jacobs arrive, none in store.

    Anyone wanting huge Panetonne in lovely Xmas tins £1.25 I didn't buy one and can't see they sold all they had in bmth today. ;)

    Was this Wilco’s please?

    Following on from yesterday's discussion about beans, my OH had some 5 Beanz with dinner tonight. Not too bad, they were dated 11/2013 :D

    Fuzzgun some of the men's sets incl the minis in my local were with the men's toiletries at one end and no one was taking them from there as they didn't have 75% sign in front but they did have the red Xmas strip behind the original prices.

    There were also other duo Lynx sets dotted round the store without the wash things but they had a save sign down to about £2.50 I'm 99% sure these were not included in the sale. HTHs

    If the manufacturer is using the same recipe(and they have been stored correctly) they will taste the same in 2025 and later, *nothing* happens in the can, thats why, if you have the storage space, you should hammer any glitch for canned goods.

    Yep, intend to use them until they no longer taste any good!
