Great news, however I however if they had just kept the price of their regular stock low that would be a bigger help. Im wondering if their cheap range will compromise on quality or flavour? It's OK paying less but if it all tastes like crud it's not really a bargain is it?

I also get a bit peeved with Jack taking the credit for this there have been many other's recently highlighting food poverty and doing more to help than blogging.

Good for her!
