AMAZING Value XSELL Tea For Two FISH FINGERS & CHIPS Review

[@nudger1965]

It does make you wonder what would happen to the odds and ends like this if there wasn't companies willing to package and sell them. I'm all for it myself. Supermarkets got away with ploughing crops back into the ground if they felt it wasn't what they perceived as what the customers wanted for far too long. Struggling families have a lifeline with this sort of product.

[@GARdotETH]

I think it's great for a struggling parent. I was brought up by a single parent (my Dad) in the 80s and we had no money and I remember having fish finger and chips with a nice blob of ketchup 😁 I still have it now every so often. Love it, especially putting the fish fingers on a butty!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Gareth, great name you have 👍👍

[@kevinhoughton9134]

I still love fish fingers, chips, garden peas and tomato ketchup with bread and butter.

[@laurensparanormalreviewsan860]

In 90s i grew up on budget stuff too i love a fish finger sarnie not had one in awhile

[@StuffINBlender]

Yep, like the 80's again! With some beans on the plate, job done!

[@Glenn7719]

Still prone to a fish finger sarnie nowadays. Saying thats, ive tried near enough anything in a sarnie, from pot noodles to pies, to pizza. 😂

[@robmcallen798]

That's a really good price for what you get and it's also far better than food that doesn't look perfect going to waste. More stores should be doing things like this when cash is tight..or tbh in general.

[@jwsuicides8095]

I notice that you can buy veg that's funny shapes and there's a delivery service for wrong shaped bread...got to be a good way to go.

[@louisagore1425]

i bought these today just to try em on your reccomendation there were sooo many fish fingers and they were sooo cheap i fed my family of 3 on them and just £2.00 bargin would recommend them to all my friends... THANK YOU GARETH!!! another great saving from ya xxx

Thank you, your're welcome

Yes definitely

[@solidstateresistor2485]

I worked part time at Ross foods to give me some extra cash whilst at collage. They had a misfits shop were employees could buy the unsuitable supermaket rejects. At the end of the day it's all the same food and taste but a fraction of the cost. Glad to see them being sold in the shops these days.

For that price, you can’t go wrong. I’m off to B&M!

Thanks for sharing!

[@SalarianUnlimited]

Never mind about the 'damaged' nature/appearance of the fish fingers - who hasn't bust one or two up as you try and use tongs to get them out of the thing you've cooked them on? Excellent value for money in today's climate!

[@hjcdormouse7337]

Well deserved mile stone. Your reviews honest and just like being in your kitchen. This is ideal not only for kids but a 57 year old kid who loves fish finger butties and tartar sauce but has to be cheap white bread.. If such a thing exists. Really funny in our house it is red brown sauce as well. Now getting spooky medication made me feel so ill last night my husband nipped across to local shop about 9pm for blooming crackers and ginger nuts a drawer full of anti sickness meds but good old crackers or ginger nuts nicer and works well. We seem to have same Boss in house as, well women of house give permission. Will look forward to Friday or if not possible when you next go live when stuck in bed it brings company and breaks up the week.

Years ago Gaz when i was unemployed after my dad died in 2008 i had an independent frozen food store near where i lived , back then i could buy 3 White fish whole fillets and a large bag of frozen chips with it all in a big bag for only £1 nowadays if that store was still running same food would be £3 at least ! so yeah inflation is outta control we need to get prices back down soon.

For some reason, it reminded me of the huge fish cakes we used to get in school dinners. When everything was still cooked on site. I do miss the old "black imports" shops that were all around me a couple of decades ago. I used to buy tons of foreign sweets and cakes from them. I suspect a similar thing is happening now, with us "Soft Southerners" willing to buy the cheaper brands from "Up North". Aldi and Lidl have done a lot to kill off our food snobbery down South.

[@fredonline]

Talking of fishcakes, I remember my local traditional chippy in the 1960's, and they made an awesome fishcake - with actual chunks/pieces of fish and potato, in a crispy batter! 😋 And those were also the days when we used to take our own plates to the chippy, and they would fill the plates with great food, all wrapped up in newspaper! Happy days!

[@corringhamdepot4434]

@@fredonline When I was a teenager we had a really old chip shop. That opened at random times, when he felt like it. Used to serve a large portion of chucky chips. In a paper cone he used to fold up out of newspaper. Brilliant memories.

If you bought the items separately you'd get at least the same for your money, but probably more. Better still buy a bag of potatoes and find how much you can get out of them plus there won't be the additives (yes, I do know that we all want some 'naughty' food).

[@robertsmelt6638]

Not related to food but Amazon returns and electronics waste is nothing short of criminal. They want us to piss about with useless electric cars while hundreds of millions of pounds worth of electronic stuff goes to landfill. I've had a pallet which came from a closed Amazon warehouse and it had about twenty grand worth of computer monitors which had been deliberately smashed to bits.

[@LordMorningstarMagne]

I love seeing places doing this kind of "wonky" food, it would otherwise go to waste, and let's be honest, if it's saves us a bit of money, especially in these times, most of us wouldn't care if the food isn't picture perfect, we'd be happy for the savings, I know some places, including Lidl also do boxes of fruit and veg near the end of it's life for a sharp discount, which is also great, shame there's no Lidl nearby you guys, would have loved to see you review some of the items there xD
