Am I in the minority here?   I couldn't eat a creme egg if I were promised a bottle of gin afterwards

With you on this one Sylvia.  Now if they sell caramel filled ones ( ) thats a different egg game altogether.

Other uses for tampons, add longer string and use for gun pull throughs,
I've heared that elephants use sheep with a rope tied to one of their back legs.

they are also good for bullet wounds!  soak up the blood, obviously...


we've used approved foods - some stuff is out of date (which doesnt bother us) but you can filter for just in date stuff.

If anyone wants any Pectin, I have absolutely loads! We don't get that much fruit, but its dead expensive here...

Ive just added the site to my "favourites" too. Ill hopefully do an order before my brother comes over for his visit later in the year. I wont be buying creme eggs either though. They are on a par with Mars bars....yuk! Now Cadbury's Crunchies are a different thing altogether!!

[princesspiggy]

ooh just did an order...
£7.50 delivery to scotland tho....free for first time so we'l see. im hungry now...


god, im bad for shopping on-line! iv just bought a load of food we never normally eat, what am i gona do wi all those poppadoms...lol..says a recovering ebay addict      im ashamed to admit how many creme eggs we bought....pmsl

[little blue]

but the poppadoms are such good value ... I'm thinking of putting jam on, instead of biscuits!
And my o/h seems to have started putting ketchup on everything, a la Pop Larkin...

We ended up with loads of peshwari naan and I bought 2 jars of curry paste (which were too spicy, oops). They have a FB page too so you can see the offers quickly and get an order in before they sell out on certain things 
The best bit is when it all arrives, its like Xmas - loads of boxes that you can recycle if like me you send lots of parcels out (brand new with no marking on, fold into flatpack) they will text/email you to let you know when the parcel is due and the name of your driver

Is this the antidote to the spurious "sell-by" date.


My kids have been brought up on the wretched things and look worried when I open the out of date yogurt and sniff it.

Hopefully SF.  I think its a good way to bridge the gap between consumerism and freeganism by allowing us to make use of what we know isn't going to harm us but the beaurocrats think we will sue their butts off if they don't implement!


My mum started to develop dementia when I was still a child - I soon learnt how to judge by sense of smell if things were likely to make us ill. It wasn't unusual to have green cheese in my sarnies at school, solid milk and various other gone off yuckiness. Makes you realise that the common sense approach makes is more logical than the sticker telling you when to bin something!

[Big Light]

Ordered just over £30 mainly sauces / packet stuff etc for a tester best bargain is the sharwood Thai red curry paste sachets 12 for 1pence MAD!
- Free postage first time would have been just over a fiver they reckon we saved £113 or so from buying it at shop price
Could have got 240 cream eggs for £24 and bathed in them lol!

growing up our family were terrible at having out of date food, personally, with 4 kids and 3 dogs - its never a problem! but if u stick to dried foods etc, they wont kill you. big savings on the health foods, as long as u can read german....lol

Nouvelle at Semichem £ 2.49 - just thought I'd let you know 

[northfifeduckling]

I really like to browse in international products....looks like an order's going out today 

[bloomer]

well i managed 50 quid easily but i am assembling a couple of food parcels currently for deserving people so bought silly quantities of some stuff!!!

[Lesley Silvester]

Thanks for this, Plums.  When I was a child there was no such thing as a sell by date.  If it looked ok and smelled ok,you ate it.
 
As to all that thai chilli stuff, you could always cook a huge potful and invite us all round.
