Wholemeal flour
I bought some Bacheldre wholemeal flour at Waitrose and the package says that the fibre content is only 3%. That seems extremely low for wholemeal. Normally it is about 10%. This is stoneground flour from a small water mill in Wales, so it’s possible that the package is not accurate. I don’t really want to raise the issue…

Geek's Guide to the Morrisons MORE Scheme
It's a perpetual point of discussion as to which loyalty scheme is the best, because everybody has different requirements.

Single use coffee bags
A relative uses these and currently has the Taylor’s ones. They seem awful for the environment as the packing cannot be recycled and the bags themselves seem to be made of plastic. Does anyone know of more eco friendly ones please ? Needs to be single use bags for ease as they are elderly with limited capacity

What is going on with the recipe of own-brand Special Flakes? The flakes are so hard and difficult to chew, they could break a tooth :# Lidl (Crownfield), Tesco and Morrisons have changed their recipes and the flakes are now really hard.

Protein drinks
I thought that being old, almost vegetarian and not fond of nuts might mean I was short of protein and was tempted by an end of line offer on a 'protein hot chocolate' powder until I looked a bit closer.
