Do you shop at Iceland?

And if so what do you make of their food? I think 90% of their own brand food is complete crap especially their ready meals for £1 :<
I only really shop there now for their "Greggs" frozen range.

what's the greggs frozen range like?
Surprisingly good their sausage rolls, steak/chicken bakes etc taste exactly like the ones you get fresh in the store.
I never shop at iceland normally but I might have to pop in and try the greggs stuff.
Forgot to add that their Indian and Chinese Takeaway range is lovely as is the Greggs products.
They also do Kiwi 4 pack for 50p which is the best bargain ever, praying them keep doing it.
I only use Iceland to save money and to buy one item now and again. I do feel guilty buying food from them though which is the sense I get from the OP's question.
I don't mind their Indian range tikka masala.
I don't think I would ever buy frozen mince anywhere though.
I do like the £1 lasagne although I haven't had one in ages. Milk at £1 for 4 pints is a good deal. Their bananas and tomatoes for a quid are pretty much the same as the other two supermarkets I may shop in. Prefer their frozen peas to Tesco, about the same as Asda. Frozen chicken breast at £4 are the same at all 3 places to me so I'll sometimes get it there.
Chicken portions on the bone I buy for the dog. Will eat them too, but the dog has a chicken based diet and goes through a lot. At £3 for 1.9kg they're alright compared to Tesco at £3.50 for 2kg or Asda at £1.69 for 1kg. You do seem to get more wings, mind, so potentially more bone and less meat. I'll inspect the packets closely if getting them from there and try to get a bag with fewer wings in if possible.
Think that's about it, it's ok.
I used to shop there occasionally when i lived in Wickford as they had a shop in the high street. Their cornettos were delish. I loved the chocolate and nut ones. I never bought very much, but some of their stuff was excellent and cheap. I would definately shop there occasionally if there was a local store.
Lots of people are hard up now days so I can kind of see why they do shop there. Its just not for me.
I like their curries (£1.50) and their Pilau rice (£1).
There are a lot of food snobs on here !
I bet a lot of them do actually shop here, but god forbid they admit it to their equally snooty friends !
I tend to get the heavy stuff from Iceland (free delivery !) and get the light stuff from Asda - they are across the pavement from each other in Birkenhead.
I,ll often get a delivery and the only frozen thing is a bag of oven chips, they sell a lot more than just frozen, I like the sound of your freezer though
I think you could be right
I'm an Asda girl.
I buy their fresh spinach for my piggies and rabbit. Its half price compared to the local sainsburies.
Their mint choc chip ice cream is fantastic, and its the only place I know that sells chocolate ice cream on its own.
They do lovely cross cross potato things(taste like waffles) which I use as a chip variation for our sausages and baked bean meals.
Not a fan of their chicken portions/breasts. They seem dry compared to other places.
I love their frozen veggies, their peas seem so full of flavour.
The kids like their pizza's (not a fan of pizza so I get scrambled egg on toast for the pizza meals. The eggs are good value too)
The frozen stuff is crap though. Had a cheesecake from there once. It was awful.
The prawn ring's nice but shrinks every year.
