39p!? I can't get a single serving packet of Lorna Doones for less than $2 (~£1.62) here 😭 so that already rules
glad to hear about the GF options as my sister, who occasionally visits the UK, has severe NCGS
The "discount frozen food shops" tend to get things which are about to reach their expiry date, or things which have been overproduced (or undersold at other shops) - then they sell them off really cheap. Normally when you get something amazing like that, it's there for a few weeks or months, then you never see it again.
I know some of the things that were less than 50p in the frozen food shop are £2 - £4 in normal shops. It can be a problem if you find you really like "those 10p bars of 'Hů' chocolate", only to find afterwards they're £4 each normally - but in the other hand, you get to temporarily eat like a king for the price of a pauper :)
Oooooh gotcha. We have something similar here, the most common being Grocery Outlet though the discount isn't nearly as dramatic 😭
