Hi
My husband has been given vouchers from work & I thought I'd be sensible boring & use some of them on food rather than spend them all on clothes & treats!! However I can only use them in Farmfoods or Iceland & I've never shopped at either store so not sure which is best, in terms of quality, and whether they only sell frozen goods or can you get tins/bread/cereals/washing powder etc
Thank you

Definitely has to be Iceland for me.
For one, there's a lot more brand named foods, but more importantly, Iceland holds so much more fresh food.
Fresh Veg, Fresh fruit, loads of fresh meats, a bigger variety. I'd definitely say go for Iceland. Grin

Iceland,purely because you can buy Greggs frozen goodies there.

brilliant, how do their prices for branded goods compare to other major supermarkets.

A lot cheap.
For example - Heinz salad cream, it's £1, whereas supermarkets, it's about £2.50.
Hovis thick bread, usually 2 for £2.20 in supermarkets, but its 2 for £1.20.
Bistow gravy is £1 for a huge tub.
Fantastic prices.

The only things that stay around the same price no matter where you go is brand named breakfast cereal.
