Sometimes on Hot Deals UK they offer voucher codes for online shopping, spend £50 and get free delivery, in the past we have been lucky and found some even better value discount codes than that.
Usually if you have to spend a significant amount to take advantage of the deal on offer I will add a couple of things to my nieces order so that she can use that voucher code.

I soon noticed that Warburton's had their large Farmhouse loaves on offer at £1.15p, 9p cheaper than the normal price. I had already had my bread maker on that morning so my bread bin was full but there is always a corner somewhere in the freezer. I don't know what makes Warburton's bread so appealing, there is something that I can't put my finger on.
Take the large Farmhouse loaf, a very traditional loaf and that shape has been baked for years. The loaf is sliced and every slice is really thick and soft. Each slice of the Farmhouse loaf is large as well as thick and if I want to toast it I have to toast one half of the slice and then turn the slice around and toast the other half. Use real butter on the hot Warburton's toast and it is a meal in itself. Although the slices are large they are lightweight, put two slices together and make a sandwich and the bread is very satisfying. The Farmhouse loaf flatly refuses to fit into my sandwich toaster, the only way I could make a toasted sandwich using the loaf was if I were to trim the edges off! But then I would take away one of the best part of the loaf, the crusts. All around three sides of each slice there is a very pale soft golden crust but as we reach the upper crust things start to change and the top crust is still soft but it has been well-cooked and on the surface the loaf has been dusted over gently with pure white flour.
Warburton's Farmhouse loaf is suitable for freezing and vegetarians can enjoy the loaf too. One slice contains 101 calories. The loaf contains soya and wheat gluten but it doesn't contain egg, milk, sesame seeds or barley.
Warburton's use a good thick plastic bag to put their loaf in and their advertising colours are bright and bold. The company offer a wide range of products , their fruit teacakes are superb, their fruit loaves are delicious and their selection of bread is second to none. If you have never tried a Warburton's loaf then maybe now is the time to take Tesco up on that special offer.
Advantages: Lovely bread that keeps fresh for a good lengrth of time Disadvantages: None that I could find
==*WARBURTON'S FARMHOUSE SOFT WHITE LOAF*==
I'm in danger of sounding like my poor old mum now, but hasn't bread gone flippin' dear !!!! I've tried so called 'value' bread but it always ends up getting given to the ducks, it feels stale when I first buy it, so that is false economy. As we get through more than one loaf a day ( more if the hungry ducks have their way!!) I do try to find as reasonable priced bread as I can. While shopping in my local ... ...White thick sliced loaves for £1 a loaf. Which with today's prices is pretty good!! I bought two loaves, The loaves have just been kept in my bread bin and were bought on Saturday. I have just used the last two slices and they were still very fresh ( it is now Tuesday morning and my kitchen has been mighty hot over the last three days!!) The loaf was bought on 30th May, had a sell by date of 2nd June and a use by date of 4th June. The loaf is a 800g ...

Advantages: Really soft and yummy Disadvantages: A little pricey
...just bought a loaf of Warburtons medium sliced white bread from my local village shop (£0.89p, but cheaper from supermarkets, £0.81 from the Co-Op) and used 4 slices to make my salad sandwiches for lunch. The bread was so fresh that it has prompted me to write an op about it because it was so yummy.
The Warburtons family have been bakers since 1876 and I think they have made the perfect loaf. Warburtons ordinary white bread comes in 3 varieties: ... ...is primarily about.
The Warburtons medium sliced white loaf is packaged in a blue and white waxed paper wrapper. To open you gently separate the folded end which has been ‘glued’ with the wax. The aroma of freshly baked bread meets you as you delve in. Now if you are like me then the crusts are ignored until the end of the loaf, and are then used for toasting - marvellous! However, the crusts are always very soft and can be used for sandwiches just ...

Advantages: Yummy toast - easy to freeze Disadvantages: expensive (approx 80p)- not many slices in the loaf
...into my kitchen is the WARBURTONS SUPER TOASTIE.
As the name suggests, it is designed for toast. Really nice, thick slices (with one slight technical problem – they don’t fit in all toasters). Good stodgy consistency too, so when you butter the toast it doesn’t disintegrate into the usual crispy bit and a gooey bit.
I suppose this should be regarded as quite a niche-market bread. It’s not that good for sandwiches - the bread ... ...a couple of loaves of Warburtons in the bread bin wouldn’t be very economic. Instead I tend to keep a couple of loaves permanently in the freezer. The slices don’t stick together so you can just take what you need straight from the freezer, it toasts well from frozen and it defrosts in the microwave in 30 seconds (without going crispy – I think that must be something to do with the high moisture content).
On the downside there ...

Advantages: Substantial slices. Disadvantages: Cost a lot of dough.
The Warburtons white loaf, described as a farmhouse soft white sliced bread, is the favourite of all the tried and tested breads that I have bought.
DESCRIPTION OF PACKAGE.
The 800g thick sliced loaf is encased in a clear cellophane bag with the word Warburtons written in white across a red diamond. The words Family bakers since 1876 are written again in white across a blue ribbon edged in gold.
INFORMATION.
On the base of the loaf you will find ... ...blue and a little note from Mr. Jonathan Warburton himself saying, "Help us celebrate our love of bread by having a family picnic for National Bread Week 2008 ! You can find picnic hints and tips at www.welovebread.co.uk" ( Now either Mr. Warburton lives in California or he has been so busy making bread, that he hasn't noticed the darn weather outside ! ) Give it a month or two Mr. Warburton and we might consider it.
The information goes on to say ...

Advantages: makes great toast Disadvantages: price
...the normal scheme of things, Warburtons are one of the msot expensive pre-sliced loaves you can buy in a supermarket. I'll start by confessing I only tried it because Sainsburys had a glut and had 'reduced to clear'.
Like all loaves, you get a range of thicknesses. I like to buy my bread really thick so that you can spread stuff on it without it going through. The really thick Warburtons is actually of a decent thickness, unlike some brands.
Toast ... ...of time under the grill. It tastes great toasted, and make slovely dry crunchy toast that you can persuade to stay just slightly soft in the kiddle - perfect (ok, you have to be nifty with a grill as well but it can be done.)
Raw toast - yes, it makes decent sarnies as well. A pleasant flavour (not a patch on home made, but good enough for every day use.)it doesn't fall apart when you try to spread, it has a reasonable texture and is entirely functional.

Advantages: light, crispy, thin slices, good taste, ideal for toasts Disadvantages: difficult to spread butter on it
I have tried a few types of bread but Warburtons Danish white bread became our favourite. We don't eat much bread, so I buy two loafs for a week for 3 of us (our younger son does not eat bread yet).
¤¤¤Packing¤¤¤
Warburtons Danish white bread comes out in a partially transparent partially light blue wrapper. You can easily see that this one is the Danish bread as it is written with large letters on it. It is a 400g loaf.
¤¤¤Price¤¤¤
I usually buy it in Sainsbury's for 0.74 pounds but I have seen it in Tesco as well, it was 0.83 as I remember. It is not a big difference after all. It is more expensive than other breads, but this is not obvious at first. This bread is do light that at first it seems to be almost as large as the other breads. But it is only 400 grams.

Advantages: A loaf made with wholemeal flour containing five different grains Disadvantages: None
Warburton`s products may be a penny or two dearer at the end of the day but they do produce good bread. Have you ever tried their crumpets? they are so thick that you can hardly fit them into the toaster slots!
When we are in the supermarket we often have little debates, some would call them tiffs or rows but I will settle for the word debate.
I love to experiment, the Other Half loves what he knows. That is all well and good but if you never try anything new then life becomes pretty stale.
In Sainsbury`s the Warburton`s Seeded Batch Loaf is on offer, a huge saving of 51p on an 800g loaf, so the loaf isn't expensive at £1.
I will be the first to admit that a good crusty white bakers loaf is perfection but I know from experience that the Warburton`s seeded batch is very tasty.
Warburton`s have used wheat flour for the dough ...
Advantages: Nice tasty bread, good for toasting Disadvantages: Not suitable for those with seed allergies
It's funny really....As a child, I couldn't stand brown bread and only ate white. But as I've got older, the opposite is true. Nowadays, I eat practically only wholemeal bread, although I am still just as finnicky about which brands I will eat. Warburtons is one of my favourite makes and their Seeded Batch loaf is particularly tasty. However, the strange thing about this loaf is that it is actually classed as a white bread, even though it looks brown. It is what you might call a hybrid loaf: a cross between white and brown bread. Confused? Well let me explain....
Warburtons Seeded Batch Loaf looks like a wholemeal bread because it contains a special mix of five seeds - namely, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, linseed, millet and poppy seeds. These are what give it a slightly brown appearance. According to the packaging, these seeds ...
