    Called in just now at a Co-op which I don't often pass, so I thought I would, just to see.

    Italian spaghetti down to 18p from £1, so I got a load for the foodbank as it is dated 2020. It weighs very heavily, so it will go into T's collection box tomorrow.

    Got 50p off a £4 spend till-spit.
