The tins come on shrink wrapped trays. They are cut,stacked and ready to sell. Some on the trays may be dented. Nothing more sinister than that.

When you see how many times a case of product gets moved there is no supprise some stuff get mangled. From the production line to the stock holding area from stock holding area to loading dock loading dock to hgv then supermarket main distribution site and onwards to smaller regional Hubs.

The tins will be dented ‘cos there’s lots of ‘em and it happens. God himself knows how much damaged food stuff I have received in my working lifetime,and always when 100% good stuff is needed!

I’ve seen a forklift take too much on because we were hectic and busy - then it has gone over! Just lucky the operator didn’t get hurt. He did ok though,no telling off. It was the boss!Yorkshire Andy wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 6:30 amWhen you see how many times a case of product gets moved there is no supprise some stuff get mangled.

I think another aspect is that no-one takes the dented tins. I would .. for half price.
That’s the idea. You can never have too much wood.PreppingPingu wrote: ↑Sat Jun 03, 2023 8:10 am Preps for me this week are my usual annual refocus on prepping! I've not swung the board for months so apart from loosing myself in various threads on here, I am making a job list of prep orientated stuff.
Over the last few months, I have been working through and emptying over an under bed storage container. A few bits had be thrown, some put into imeadiate use in the kitchen cupboard and some used up before they were too far past the best before. (Even the vac sealed flour was on the turn) And I am also rotating my garage tin supplies. I need to order some wood in for the winter this month. Still got some from last winter as it was our first one with log burner so I made sure I over rather than under ordered last summer. Doing it now beats the mad rush in the September/October when everyone starting thinking, "oo it's a bit chilly, I've no wood!"
The system is so complex! Good that you've got someone who knows what's what as a neighbour. And I'm betting your budget, whether it's on a spreadsheet or a piece of paper stuck to the fridge door, is well worked out.jansman wrote: ↑Sat Jun 03, 2023 8:07 amMy other main prep right now is income. Fortunately my neighbour ( a social carer) who knows about all this,helped me right at the beginning. Very ,very soon I will be made redundant. It’s done under long - term sickness regs, so slightly different from normal redundancy,but money is owed. The income has only been SSP - £100 odd quid a week - but my benefits are in place to pick that up. Fortunately our prepping down the years has made us not poor,but not rich. Which is ok.
Good that you're getting advice - that sounds quite a complex situation. From reading various "money" columns regularly over the years, I'd say that getting people to put their advice in writing, even an email, is essential - otherwise, if a dispute comes along, it's just one person's word against another's.The main issue is my private pension (s) . My illness means right now that I can take the lot tax free. However,that would affect my DWP benefits- for what I consider to be the state pension I won’t get. As far as I am concerned I am retired Got to secure it for my wife in the future ,so advice is being given…
I think this is a brilliant prep in your circumstances, jansman, a really clever use of technology. It's just such a shame that it's for this *reason* for you.Everything I have done personally,I have found and recorded other folks to deal with it in the future. It gives me peace of mind. Under the circumstances,not a bad prep!
