I do make my own pizza dough and pasta sauces, never buy cakes, grow some of own veggies but it's for health and hobby reasons. Can't be bothered (plus don't like the mileage)shopping at more than one supermarket a week, if that, top up at the co-op which ain't cheapest but is fab and ethical and is walking distance with my very unfashionable tartan shopping trolley (bought ages ago by mother in law when she visited and needed one for shopping), would so like an orla kierly one but it would mean throwing this one away, so have to pretend it's vintage or vivienne westwood.Gwynethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072134166921073654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352484297955368438.post-70194556932896274392010-06-13T05:37:13.429-07:002010-06-13T05:37:13.429-07:00We're making our own gnocchi tonight on your r...We're making our own gnocchi tonight on your recommendation!

On moneysavingexpert.co.uk there's a page on things to go for and things to avoid at Lidl, Aldi etc, as apparently there are some products they reserve for us Brits which German and Spanish housewives won't stand for!Eco Jeebieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520991937315937526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352484297955368438.post-21579918064711905532010-06-11T05:02:55.739-07:002010-06-11T05:02:55.739-07:00Very funny!

Many of their products contain hydrogenated fats. I still shop there, but only buy very specific things. Good fruit syrups for jazzing up homemade yogurt, though.<br /><br />T*sco have a special cheapo range that they introduced to compete with the discounters. Worth checking out if you are as skint as we are (2 disorganized freelancers with children who have bottomless appetites).caramachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933481585812013075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352484297955368438.post-55367505511137910212010-06-10T02:50:21.656-07:002010-06-10T02:50:21.656-07:00so you think making stockings out of painted on gr...so you think making stockings out of painted on gravy browning would be going too far, Gappy? *rethinks strategy*<br />and planb, you only have to buy yoghurt once - you can then make the next lot from the dregs of the one you made.

I even *hush* use their carrier bags to people know I've been there. This last point is a real cause of embarrassment for the Teengager though, who keeps trying to hide them.

Plus if I remember rightly HFW wanted all sorts of funny milk to make his recipe, which probably works out more expensive than just buying the stuff doesn't it?<br /><br />But on Lidl, I'm with you. Nearest supermarket to the new house? Lidl. Loving it. Even if it does smell weirdly foreign.Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975259590293860488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352484297955368438.post-59248587830876721672010-06-09T14:10:18.851-07:002010-06-09T14:10:18.851-07:00Oooh get you.
