Aldi Hampers - More Stock Before Xmas?
Had my eye on this hamper at Aldi since the end of November. https://www.aldi.co.uk/the-specially-selected-luxury-hamper/p/000000109983300 Went to order it a few days ago and its sold out :( Does anyone know from past experience, if Aldi will restock for more online orders or is that it for this year?

Asda - Half price tasty cheese
I am not a fan of cheese as I find most of them to be chalky or cardboardy and always too salty. But I found this cheese - Losely mature cheddar - very tasty and not that salty. Half price in Asda at £1=00 for 180g is a bargain. The extra mature one from Losely, though reduced, is more expensive.

2kg Maris Piper Potatoes 39p in Nisa! Couldn't believe my eyes at the price. This is a promo price. I suspect they are probably 3rd class, but at that price you can afford to cut them about a bit.
