Had some Valentines treats tonight from my half price haul
pie love you- £4.50 sauce was very nice and would buy again at that price, prefer their Chicken and Leek one though, had lots at my branch with dates of 21st next time I’m in if they have any left I’ll get another for freezer
nuts about you cheesecake- these were SPECTACULAR, wish they did them all year round! Paid £2.25 but would gladly pay full price

I will be there on 21/22 looking for the chicken pies to be reduced - I don't eat them but my son and hubby like a nice pie.
Controversial but the golden blonde hot x buns were meh, still not a patch on the old sticky toffee ones they did 4 or 5 years ago. Won't be rushing to get more. Also got totally scammed into buying some cornish cruncher cheese for £4. They were under the £2 label and the weight was in asolutely miniscule writing so I couldn't check. Annoyed becaues I would've got a bottle of Pornstar Martini for a fiver instead of the cheese if I'd known it was £4. It better be fabulous
The cheese is worth it 100%... enjoy!
My hubby says it is nothing special and wouldn't bother with it again. Sorry.
Love the chicken and leek pies. And their cheese croquettes - have those with a mixed salad and an individual quiche or salmon. 
I'm going to try it with marmite hummus on a cracker, give it an opportunity to shine. Not usually a fan of marmite products other than marmite, no need to mess with perfection but I've made an exception for the hummus. If the Cornish cruncher can compete then it truly is God tier.
Cornish cruncher is amazing. When I was younger me and my friend used to buy it and eat a whole block in one sitting when we’d been out drinking.
I have 15% off cakes, might pop in and take advantage of that!

Me and you would be good mates
2 things.
1 - My hubby said that he really liked the Count on Us Fish pie last week so I left him one for lunch yesterday and when I came home he said - that was nowhere near as good as last weeks, struggled to find much fish and the potato was watery ( he does know how to use the oven so cooked it correctly). Looks like I am back to making them for him. (I don't eat meat or fish but happy to cook for him)
2 - He occasionally likes the triple cooked chips so bought 3 packs with my Sparks discount and when I was putting them in the freezer noticed it said this pack serves 6 from a 600 gm bag !!! so asked him if he wanted chips tonight and gave him the 100gm M and S suggested was a portion (although I did cook the usual half bag he usually has) His face was a picture.
Have a look at 100gms of frozen chips next time you do some.

That's not an M&S thing though. Portions sizes on packets bear np resemblance to reality. I used to go through a bag of Jordan's Muesli in 6 days, apparently there are 20 portions in a bag2 things.

Why is it not an M&S thing - they are saying it serves 6 when clearly it does not, they could have said 12 if we all wanted 50 gms each if they said 4 I might have gone with it but not 6. Yes we all buy things which we know does not have the servings they claim but this one clearly is a very incorrect.
The cold press juices were £3.50 for 750ml and now they're selling 250ml for £3. Da duck m&s? 
Went to a local M&S food hall last night just gone 9 pm. They close at 10 pm. Main doors opened into lobby where trolleys are and I got a trolley. The entrance doors didn’t open. The exit doors near tills were open and I saw a man there and asked why the entrance doors weren’t opening and if they had closed early. He said no, but they were trying to stop people coming in! . He then said I could come in the exit way. Why would a store try to stop people coming in an hour before they closed. Such a bizarre experience.

Picked up my box of freebie truffles today 
Looking forward to trying them.
Had no other offers on my app but luckily had my Mum with me and the cashier noticed 6 unused offers on her Sparks app, which hadn't been there when she left the house! So she got 25% off an overpriced raincoat she was buying, and I used her app to get (I think) 20% off the bras I was buying. Her other offers were x% off cheese (used that) and x% off cleaning supplies, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and x% off childrenswear.
The Sparks app works in mysterious ways!

I'm sorry to hear you're divorcing
All food manufacturers do it.
It is to do with sugar/fat taxes and the traffic light system.
If you pick up a snack pack of nuts and fruit it will say serves 1.5 or serves 2 even though everyone sees them as single servings.
Same with a bottle of coke. Says 2 servings. But who is drinking half a 500ml bottle?
A tin of tomato soup says serves 2

40g of porridge is apparently a serving, that's about the amount stuck to my saucepan when I'm done making myself a bowl
Cereals 30g! I think the last time I had 30g I was in the lower end of single digits
