      You could buy 6 of those Boxes for £30 at retail, just imagine what you get if you buy in bulk. I´d be surprised if one of them costs more than 3.

    I shop at Morrisons or waitrose alternately for my main shops and I do buy different products from each but my spend is about the same. I buy the offers and essential ranges and the quality rarely disappoints. The overall shopping experience is very good too plus if you have their loyalty card you get a couple of coupons and a neros coffee if you take your own cup. They do some unusual products as well. I also visit farmfoods too.
