Bollocks. Find it cheap, buy as much as you can carry.

If it goes solid with age, it still dissolves to ferment and it was cheap ;D

Never a better time of year than this to explain away all the sugar in your trolley to the nosies in a supermarket queue though.
Just gotta make lots of jam,because the soft fruit in the garden has been spectacular this year....

No problemo BJ, but if you open a bottle you have to finish it! All my bottles are 1 litre Image

My washes use 6kg of sugar and I do a run every week so my stock level is quite good.
SWMBO is going to Farm Foods tomorrow to purchase another 24kg if it is still at 59p, if so I will post here Image

Finding the best price is always a bugger in this game, nearest Farm Foods to us is around 30 miles round trip....Image

I could when I've finished work tomorrow pop to Lidl and get more bags at that price...but saying that Tesco always have the 5kgs bags that work out the same...69p kg.

We need it whatever...for the sake of our hobby. Image

Shopped at B & M today and purchased 24kg of sugar for £12. Image

1kg is 69p but 2kg is a quid, a no brainer. Image
