'Best before' vs 'use by'

While 'use-by' dates are an important health warning, 'best-befores' are simply a manufacturer's guidance of quality. It's perfectly legal to sell goods beyond a best-before date. However, as there's no hard-and-fast rule on how far beyond a best-before it's still safe to eat products, you need to make that call yourself.

While look and smell are important and often the best indicators, you can't always tell with packaged items such as these, especially as you won't be able to check each item before it's delivered to you. Not everything's past its best-before date and Approved Food tends to display the date online for each product, so you'll likely know before you buy.

What MoneySavers say about Approved Food

It has a Trustpilot score of 3.1 out of 5 from 2,700+ reviews, and feedback on it is mixed. Some say bargains have recently become harder to find, while others say choosing the cheaper delivery option can result in a slower service. We've seen reports from users across our Forum and Trustpilot that the food arrives well packaged and in good condition, and that the food itself is decent quality.

Some users have flagged that missing or out of stock items from their order have been automatically issued with a store credit. Approved Food told us that you can get the amount refunded to your original payment method if you contact it and ask.

See the MSE Forum for more feedback (good and bad), but do bear in mind that bad news usually travels faster and further.

Via MSE Blagged code. Cheapest we've ever seen it

Go via this special Vax link* and you can get the Vax Platinum SmartWash upright carpet cleaner for £119.99 delivered, instead of the normal price of £299.99.

The MSE Blagged code MSESMA should be automatically applied, or you can enter it at the checkout stage if not – the code will only be valid through our special link, not via the regular Vax website.

There are 5,000 units available until 11.59pm on Sunday 25 October, or until stock runs out. It's limited to one unit per household.

How good is this deal? This is the cheapest price we've ever seen for this model. At £119.99 delivered, it's £27 cheaper than its previous lowest price of £147 at Amazon in March. The next cheapest price we can currently find is £179 at Currys, and that version doesn't come with the additional tools and accessories included here.

The carpet cleaner is well-rated online. It has a 4.8/5 rating from 9,000+ reviews at Vax, 4.8/5 from 6,400+ reviews at John Lewis, 4.6/5 from 2,700+ reviews at Amazon, and 4.5/5 from TechRadar.

Standard delivery's free. Vax says it should take three to five days to arrive via DPD. It delivers nationwide, but the following postcodes may take a bit longer: AB36-38, AB55-56, FK17-99, HS1-99, IV1-99, KA27-28, KW1-99, PA20-99, PH15-99, ZE1-99, IM1-99, TR21-25, JE, GY, BT1-99.

MSE Blagged code

Been eye-ing up Calvin Klein prescription specs or sunnies? You can get a pair for £35 delivered (normally from £95) when using the MSE Blagged code MSE35CK via our SpeckyFourEyes* link. The code's valid until 11.59pm on Saturday 31 October.

The code only works on the Calvin Klein items shown via our link, and you'll need to enter the code in the vouchers box on the 'Shopping cart - summary' page once you've chosen your frames and lenses.

Need-to-knows for getting the cheapest price

• To get them cheapest, pick 'continue with free lenses' when asked to choose your lens package (stage five of the checkout process), as thinner or scratch-resistant lenses will cost £15 to £150 extra. To avoid other extras and keep costs down, select 'skip step & continue' until you reach the checkout.

• You can enter your prescription during the checkout process, or opt to send it later. Some frames aren't suitable for high prescriptions, so keep an eye out when choosing. Do note that only standard lenses are included in the price – you'll pay extra for bifocal or thin lenses.

• Select 'Royal Mail Standard' delivery – our code will make this delivery option free (normally £6.99). SpeckyFourEyes says delivery usually takes 7-20 working days.

If you need to contact SpeckyFourEyes about your order, you can do so via this special contact page*.
