     A calligraphy set was £5 for £1.25 (certainly not worth a fiver!)

    So 25% off the original multi-buy price.  Wonder how much per kilo those potato shapes are - and are they "reformed" from grated potato?

    Its a 700g bag Iceland Christmas Trees and Stars Potato Shapes 700g | Frozen | Iceland Foods

    Made from rehydrated potato, so basically formed Smash. I expect them to be like McCain Smiles

    You mean the odds and sods from the manufacturing process?

    They refuse to reduce, so they sacrifice the shelf space.

    There's the last few bits in my Lidl too. Stuff that obviously isn't going to sell at the prices they are but they won't reduce them further.

    The Christmas turkeys/crowns are still in the freezer too, but now they've got an easter price ticket on them.
