Default mum's gone to iceland

I know I've run Iceland down in the past

but......................

I'm amazed to say that our new Iceland store is fantastic!!

I'm not doing what a lot of the women are doing & buying all my food there - I'll never go back to convenience food - but some of their stuff is really good quality (not at all what I remember from when I lived in the UK) & soooooooooooooo cheap!!!


a lot of stuff such as frozen chips and so on are cheaper than Mercadona & their own brand ice-cream & desserts are yummy & about half the price of the Mercadona own brand! (so that's the end of the diet)

when I was in there the other day the place was full of spanish peeps buying up the ice-cream & dessert freezers!!

I was the gorgeous blonde who pulled you out by the belt loops when you fell in the freezer head first getting that last pack of sausages

It's probably because they don't rip you off on the prices, unlike a lot of other shops selling "Brit Food".

Our local Mercadonas own brand ice cream is €1.10 a ltr. So are you saying that icelands is around 55cents a ltr??
