He's a very moderate, slow drinker. But he's had 4 cans of my beer this last month. :mad:

That would last me literally years and go out of date.

Does anybody else buy those ginger turmeric shots from Lidl? I always get a tray of two.

The missus made a clothing order from Temu, so I added a few bits and pieces for myself.

Enjoy the lower prices from Temu and AliExpress while you can. I fully expect Rachel "Robber" Reeves to slap some form of tax on their packages coming from China.

I've just bought a soldering iron/hotair rework station from AliExpress for £34 shipped, can't get anything like that on Amazon UK at that price, so I will be disappointed if we get screwed over.

Evri the delivery partner of AliExpress has been taken over by DHL who love ignoring declarations slapping on high fees on anything and everything. I'm sure China will find a way though.

They used Royal Mail 24 for my last delivery.

That's interesting and hopeful, was that selecting AliExpress saver delivery option?

Make them yourself for 10p a shot rather that £1.50 and you know exactly what's in it then too

They are 100% organic juice not from concentrate. Ingredients one juicy orange 51%, one large chunk of ginger 30%, one quarter of a tangy lemon 17% and one fifth of a tumeric tuber 2%. They cost 99p each.

My dad loves making fresh ginger slices in lemon juice and turmeric and some fresh lemons cut into pieces. He leaves his batches in the fridge.

The curcumin will not activate well without black pepper . I guess these are not meant as a anti inflammatory then

I didn't select any delivery options because delivery is always FREE with the items I order, other items have been delivered by Evri a few months before though.

What's also good about AliExpress is it always pays 6% cashback with Topcashback.
