Reply to: Who goes to Iceland?

Iceland made a big switch to organic veg very early on. I rather liked the idea, if for nothing more than it was totally a 'non-Iceland' thing to do:

Unsurprisingly, it didn't work out for them.

Their Fake Baileys always used to be good to... £3.50 a bottle

And their Red-Bull type energy drink called "Bulldog" 4 x cans for £1

Used to be a good place to pick up a Duck for £5.

I use to get frozen fish from there when I was a student. Oddly enough a French student with no preconceptions about shops in the UK found they sold it there and was pleasantly surprised by the range. The last time I went to Iceland years ago - I found the range had decreased a lot. The ones near me have closed down though.

Snob.

However the point of Greggs is you get it because you are hungry and it's just there....

It also serves as a social hub for shauny now that they've closed down the Day Centre.

Used to buy pizza there as a student, those Freschetta (sp?) ones.

I go not for the frozen stuff but they do tend to have good offers on other things like booze, crisps, cakes, house hold stuff etc, also they tend to have branches on highstreet rather than edge of town, the only other shop local to me is Waitrose and that who hardly has offers on.

Interesting - you can buy frozen soup.

WHY?

Gazpacho ?

[SueEllen]

Because it's a frozen food retailer - their stores are row after row of freezers with little shelf space. So stick whatever you can into one of the many freezers rather than on one of the small numbers of shelves. That's my guess anyway.

They sell fresh unfrozen food including milk plus bread as well so why do they need to freeze soup? It's crazy.

And those Metros had a tiny boot space.

She was much thinner then.
