I also got 400g jars of Hellman's Light Mayo at 60p a jar, 4 x 3 kg bags of white bread flour at 50p a bag (equivalent of 25p for the usual 1.5kg bag), several jars chicken casserole and also bake mixes and sauces, 2 x 10 packs of hotdogs for 50p, plus extras such as a can opener for 99p and curtain and cup hooks at 5 packs for £1. I love Approved Food for stocking up on basics but I do now try and only buy stuff I know we'll use and not get tempted into buying junk food.Helenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963972925920465515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-15865354110406582362013-08-16T13:53:36.046+01:002013-08-16T13:53:36.046+01:00Like the sound of the lucky box xLike the sound of the lucky box xMiss Piggy Bankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886893128634012341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-49465949821805798372013-08-15T21:43:44.990+01:002013-08-15T21:43:44.990+01:00Hi Sue,
