Solo - Teddy Wilson

Teddy tastic

Advantages: They taste delicious
Disadvantages: The sugar content

On my quest to rate and review and so I suppose eat all of the different kids sweets offered by Asda, Teddy Fruit Gums were the next bag I tried and are once again a sweet I would definitely recommend. Teddy Fruit Gums come in a plumish coloured bag that has a smiling teddy licking his lips in the centre and a quantity of brightly coloured balls splashed over the front. Surrounding the teddy is the name of the sweets themselves. The fornt of the pack also tells me that the sweets are free from artificial colours and flavourings. This pack also has a bright yellow banner along the bottom that informs me that this bag is on the Any 3 for £1 offer. Singly the bag costs 38p so although this offer won't make you rich it will save a few pennies. The bag has quite a sweet and rich aroma when it is opened and a blast of different fruity ...

Review of Asda Teddy Fruit Gums

Going Solo

Advantages: Can't get into debt, lots of shops take it, from 11 with some banks,
Disadvantages: Woolies don't take it!

The Solo card is a debit card aimed at young people that works like a Switch except you can’t get overdrawn – in other words in debt. It’s a great idea and allows young people to shop through mail-order and on the internet without using their parents credit card. Though some adults also have it if they’re not too hot with money-management! The Solo card is accepted widely and most shops accept it, though it is not accepted as widely as Switch. Woolworth’s don’t take it which seems rather stupid considering many of their customers are young people. Though the Solo is accepted far more than the Visa Electron, which only a small minority of shops seem to take. Solo offers a cashback feature which you can use at all shops taking Solo. Most places won’t charge you, but smaller shops might. I was ...

Review of Solo

Flying Solo

Advantages: No worries about carrying cash
Disadvantages: Many well known stores don't accept them

Switch, Delta, Electron, Solo - they're all basically the same. I used to have a Switch card - accepted by virtually every shop or service - a debit card by any other name. I now have a Solo card, due to recent financial difficulties it was all I could get. This works in much the same way as a Switch card - it's a debit card which you hand over in place of cash for payment and saves time and hassle writing cheques. Funds are normally debited from your bank account within one to two working days and you can also get up to £50 cashback with it where that facility is available. It will not allow you to go overdrawn on your account unless you already have an overdarft facility - unusual with accounts offering a Solo card to begin with. BUT, and it's a big but, not all the expected shops - including large, well-known stores, accept ...
