Good news though - I got bread

So thats why all the Dolly Mixtures had flown off the shelves at Morrisons................

Well our freezer is fully stocked, not through panic buying but taking advantage of the various offers.

Bread - Only use it for sandwiches
Milk - Don't drink it

We will live.

no problems for me my local farmfoods shop is selling bread at 50p a loaf and milk 50p for 4 pints and there's plenty of it ...so its milk sandwiches for tea yummy

I was given a bread maker, its great making fresh bread, be it from a ready mix flour that you just add water, to following a receipe in the book.

A house smells of freshly made bread make you hungry.

Depending on what you make the bread is far cheaper than a bought loaf, plus it doesn't have any of the stuff you don't need.

I forgot to add you can put all the ingredients in the night before and wake up to fresh hot bread.

50p for 4 pints of milk? I thought i did well only paying a quid. Is it always that price in there? Is it semi skimmed?

full cream or semi 2 x four pints for a £1 2 loafs of Everyday bread for £1
it is a special but the price is normaly bread 2 for £1.50 and milk 8 pints for £1.50

Even Tescos has 2 litres of milk for 65p and that is saying something.

Ooh i'll go this week and have a look, we go through loads of milk cos my son eats cereal for snacks aswell as brekkie and supper, where most kids would want crisps or sweets lol. Thanks for the info

As for the panic buying, i stocked up on milk and freezer food (well, about a week or two's worth) online with Tesco, to save me driving or pushing the baby's pram in the snow (an impossible task might i add) and i looked a few days later and their delivery slots had gone up to £6 but they were fully booked for a whole week! There's usually loads of empty slots for £3.50 a time.

Well my milkman got through on Saturday so I'm sure he'll be back for his scheduled delivery tomorrow.
