Not quite Approved Food - but close

I have made two orders from a company that sells expired/discontinued/slightly damaged food cheaply - packets are damaged, not the product itself. Just like Approved Food .

I wanted to shop on AF, but because delivery costs would be at least £30, it wasn't cheap shopping after all. But I found similar sites around here, like Matsmart (sorry, only in Swedish och Norwegian) -  I didn't order from there, but the site I used had one big advantage: they have listed ingredients of almost all of products. And that's very important, because I don't want to order 15 jars of chili sauce and find out in the hard way that it contains onions...

This time my order included a lot of cat food, some chocolate, stock cubes and other miscellaneous items - like five kg of rice... I paid a little under of 60€ of what I would have paid nealry 110€ at supermarket! I checked the prices, like I know that this specific cat food costs 3,89€ per box, and I paid 1,99€. I also bought a jar of chili sauce.

None of items I bought were past their "Best Before" date, and all of them were things I usually buy for us (even the chili sauce) and all of thme were on my shopping list. Ok, maybe not the 5kg bag of rice, but I would have bought 1kg bag and another in a few weeks again.

Althought there was one bargain I might have bought from Approvef Foods even with
£30 delivery...


But sadly it was out of stock.
