Farm Foods

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Anyone on here go to Farm Foods regularly? Did my first shop there this weekend as my daugter asked me to call in and get her some Bold Washing Powder that was on offer at 2 boxes of 130 washes at £21 for the two. She has skin allergies and this is the only one she uses. I got 2 300g jars of Nescafe for £9 (£8 each in Morrisons), 1kg of cheddar cheese for £3.99 and 250g of butter at 99p each. At that price I will give them a try and the stock up if any good as on offer till 2nd December. No ties to the shop or anybody working there.

Not been for quite a while but they always have some cracking bargains.

We used to have a Farmfoods in our small town, opposite Iceland, both shops were busy, what you couldn't get at reasonable price in one, you got in the other.
Our nearest one is now in the bigger town and even with a £5 taxi fare home, we'd still be saving money than if we shopped in Morrison's which is now our nearest largest supermarket.

If it's like the one not far from here they do a glorious box of Coppenwrath & Wiese cream cakes, Patesserie Selection and they're lush, we used to buy a box and have a Sunday Kaffee und Kuchen session. They have a good selection of C & W stuff.

I’ve been in ours once and it was like shopping in Eastern Europe, it must be awful to work there (although they did have an absolutely ginormous Vienetta which I was tempted by).

I keep meaning to get there (as they're always having promotional leaflets pushed through my letterbox) but they're not that near to me and I've only got a 'table-top' freezer, so I can't bulk-buy most of what they've got on offer. (Yes, I know that they sell non-frozen lines but it's mainly frozen stuff that they concentrate on).

If you've not picked up a leaflet with their money-off vouchers in, BD, you can download and print them from here:

I came across a Food Warehouse (which is the name used by Iceland's larger stores) recently. I quite liked what I found there:

We are lucky in Eccles that we have an Aldi, a Morrisons, Fram Foods and The Food Warehouse all within a few hundred yards of each other and I use the Food Warehouse a lot but will be checking out prices now before I go. At Farm Foods I also bought some frozen lamb chops, bags of vegetables, some scotch pies (mmm) and other bits. I picked up a leaflet and because I spent over £25 I got another £2 off with one of the coupons. Very happy shopper.

There's a FF just around the corner from my house. Not too keen on some of the frozen foods such as pork chops (never been anywhere near a pig, i don't think), or lamb chops (about 1/8th of an inch thick), but the frozen chicken is ok. Also at bargain prices are the frozen veg (5 assorted packs for £4) and frozen fruit (4 packs for £5 - great for adding to porridge/cereals/yoghurt). I normally use it for day to day groceries such as bread and milk, which are also cheap.

Tried them once, never again. A lot of these cheap shops sell food destined for foreign markets which has fallen off the back of a lorry. B&M are notorious for this. Hilarious when you get home and find that the instructions are in Dutch or Polish.

I've never been to one...the closest is 2 bus rides away. I'm also not a fan of loads of frozen food. I've got an Iceland nearby...I use them for cream, cat food, beef mince for the dog, some household items like kitchen and loo rolls.

[Mamyalynne]

I'd be careful insinuating Farm Foods sell stolen goods Jack.

Lawyers check social media.

Always keep an eye open for coffee and tea bag bargains and stock up. Half the price of Asda or Tesco. Don't tend to use frozen food.
