Aldi large eggs are really medium.
I just checked the weights of a dozen large eggs from Aldi because the last couple of boxes looked small when I opened them. Turns out 5 out of 12 should be classified as medium, with 2 at 60, 2 at 61 and one at 62 gm. I took the boxes from a newish pack, low down, and I don’t think anyone could have been swapping the eggs…

Special diets on a budget
I would like to go gluten-free (and possibly sugar and dairy free too) because I have been told it could help my migraines and also an autoimmune problem that I have that affects my liver.

Halloween cake sprinkles
I can't seem to find any in the shops. They are usually everywhere at this time of year. I've tried Morrison's, Aldi,Lidl, Home Bargains and B&M. Has anyone else noticed a shortage this year or am I simply too late and they've all been bought? Might be sprinkling Halloween buns with left over snowman sprinkles.
