The last order also contained someone elses goodies. I contacted them to come and take the stuff away, gave them a list of everything. They wrote back and said to keep everything and apologised for the inconvenience.....I am lucky enough to have access to a factory shop, grocery and freezer produce. Needless to say my grown up children benefit from my frugal shopping which helps their household budget.Sals Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983803420404095685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-75601705203161373402013-01-06T18:04:37.354+00:002013-01-06T18:04:37.354+00:00I'll be trying this, not heard of them before....I'll be trying this, not heard of them before.

I have never bought anything from them yet as we are lucky enough to have one of these "shops" just a couple of miles away. It just happens to be on the school run so my DIL calls regularly and keeps me up to date with the bargains, I must have spent hundreds of pounds there over the years so goodness knows how much I have saved.
