Morrisons have got Redwoods beef & sage & onion slices for £1 until April 16th.

Fresh Alpro milks were £1 in sainsburys yesterday.

Sainsbury's has Sweet William chocolate bunnies 2/£3 (normally £1.99 each).

For anyone who can't get nooch, there's a shop called vit-shop.co.uk that has the B12-fortified stuff for £2.62 (or less if you buy more). You have to pay shipping, but it's a good price if you can't get it nearby.

I LOVE THEM SO BAD.


So bad.

Not specifically vegan, but Asda have got some big serving spoons, like school canteen serving spoons (perfect for dolloping out excessive portions of pumpkin ziti) for £1.

ohhh, how odd... I was thinking about how useful something like that would be today!

Vitalite is £1 in the co-op.

Awesome! They never have vegan marge in my local Co-op..... hopefully they'll have this if it's on promotion.

Holland & Barrett have a 'penny sale' on right now, which is basically buy one get one for a penny. I bought 2 bottles of flaxseed tablets..... I think vegan multivitamins were in the sale too.

I saw it in the one on London Road.

My friend just texted to tell me he'd got some of vegan Birkenstocks in TK Maxx for £25. TK Maxx is notoriously random but its got to be worth keeping an eye out.

I don't know if any of you use the Holland and Barrets vegan multivitamins but they are £2.85 for 60 at the minute, so I am going to try them out. They seem exactly the same as the other brands I compared them to.

Ooohh nice one SJ, I need to go to H&B soon for a pill crusher too.

Sainsbury's have Alpro soya milk in tetra packs on sale 2/£1.50, and they have Weetabix Chocolate Chip Crispy Minis 2/£3. I just saved 20% on my online order - it was awesome!

10% off at the Book Depository until the end of May. Code is MAY11

refrigerated Alpro cartons are £1 at the Co-op until the middle of the month.

i need to do better at taking note of supermarket deals.

If you have a Nisa local cornershop, they have Wholebake flapjack bites bags (cherry or apple flavour) at a quid a pop.

Bags (500g, I think) of Napolina (good quality) pasta are 3 for the price of 1 at Tesco, an advert told me last night.

...and i've just been to Sainsbury's, where Jelly Belly gourmet jelly beans are half price (83p a bag).
I don't know if that applies nationwide, though.

Do the gourmet Jelly Belly beans not have beeswax (E901) & shellac (E904) like the other kinds?

E901 is beeswax? fork me... It took me years of searching to find some that didn't list beeswax in the ingredients; but they do - they just weaseled around it.

I don't suppose you know of any vegan jelly beans?

poundland have some vegan jelly beans sometimes, unless they changed them.

E-numbers can be so annoying! I have an app called Vegetarian Scanner on my phone which has lists of a the e-numbers & ticks or crosses depending on whether they're vegan or not.

The M&S jelly beans in this pic' are vegan http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o6S2jVO5o20/T ... racle1.jpg

I would assume that means M&S have other vegan jelly beans but I haven't checked.

Thanks guys: i'll check both of those places.

I tried to get an app like that on my Android phone, but couldn't find one.

I take it bugs are farmed to produce shellac...?

I assume so, I saw one of those 'how do they make it' shows about Shellac & they showed them scraping the bugs off the bushes & then tossing them about on large trays in the sun until they burnt & died. After that they're crushed to become the red dye they put in the food. Gross.
