Credit where credit is due. moby mentioned a firm
www.approvedfood.co.uk that specialises in end of line groceries, re-packs, short dated and past 'best before' foodstuff.
The prices for their stuff are dead keen - as one would expect for this kind of merchandise but they have a big advantage that I have not found before.

They deliver across much of Europe (EU and elsewhere) at a reasonable price.
https://www.approvedfood.co.uk/?afid=30b100They charge in units of 25Kg, one box of goods. Example prices below:
Germany, France, Monaco, Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands: £15
Austria and Denmark: £20
Spain, Italy, Slovakia and Czech Republic: £25
Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Slovenia: £30
Bulgaria, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania: £35
I received my first order a few days ago. Almost everything I purchased was 'in-date' and chosen on that basis. Even so, I paid a low enough price that even with the delivery charge I STILL saved money against UK supermarket prices and even more against roughly comparable local goods.
In my order 3 jars had blown seals due, I think, to having been very cold and then warmed up in my home. I was given the choice of a refund or credit with no quibbles.
I reckon that if you are British, living in Europe, then these guys are well worth a look to get your fix of British groceries. That said,some of the produce I bought was originally French.
BY the way, just tucking into a tasty coconut curry made with fresh chicken and a savoury rice thing - all from Approved Foods, except the chicken.
