May Carers Coffee Club we compared Brand Vs Supermarket.
Corn Flakes - M&S won @ 90p a box
Crisps - Ready Salted Tesco @ 85p for a 6 pack
Chocolate digestives - Tesco @ 89p
Tomato Ketchup - Heinz @ £3 followed closely by Tesco @ 87p
Coca Cola - Tesco @ 80p

Making changes from the most expensive brands to the cheaper brands it would save £8.90 per week, and if you bought these staples weekly it's a whooping £462.80 a year!!

Carers Coffee Club is very saddened to hear the passing of the Mayor, Alderman Beth Adger MBE.
Beth officially opened our Carers Coffee Club back in November and on the many occasions I met Beth at various community meetings she always encouraged me to keep pushing forward with the Carers Coffee Club.
She will be sadly missed by many within the community.

Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is saddened to announce that the Mayor, Alderman Beth Adger MBE, has passed away.

A dedicated public representative for many years, Alderman Adger was appointed as Mayor last June.

Valerie Watts, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council Interim Chief Executive said she was committed to her work and to the Borough.

She said: “We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our Mayor, Alderman Beth Adger MBE,”

“We would like to extend our sympathies to Mrs Adger’s family and friends and to the entire community of Mid and East Antrim following this sad news.

“She will be greatly missed.”

Further details will be provided in due course.
