Any tips or tricks for money savers? As far as I can tell, it's just a way for Iceland to sell their products without applying any of the good deals they have in their normal Iceland shops. Sucks if like me you only have a TFW in your area.

    They tend to be slanted towards more bulk buying, people shopping to fill a car boot, bigger packs on sale. 

    My online orders are fulfilled at TFW, I shop instore a town centre Iceland. 

    I can't get 6 packs of 7up free at TFW but can get 24, works out cheaper per can.

    600g packs of prepared coated chicken available at local Iceland, TFW sells 1kg & 600g.

    For the standard fruit, veg, cheese, bread, cooked meats I see the same deals  in both.

    As mentioned it's a way for them to sell some items in bulk or a small range of  electricals, items Iceland wouldn't sell. I suspect the sites for TFW are cheaper rents which allows them to offer these products.
