    I like Delouis Fils Mayonnaise (non organic), they do a garlic version too but I have not tried it.

    http://www.waitrose.com/shop/ProductView-10317-10001-50051-Delouis+Fils+mayonnaise

    Sunflower Oil, Egg Yolk, Dijon Mustard (Mustard Seeds, Vinegar, Water, Salt, Sulfites), Vinegar, Salt, Lemon. Does Mayonnaise have to be made with sunflower oil or can different oils be used too?

    It says you have to eat it in one month though, I think Hellmanns you can keep for longer. The Simply Delicious range looks appealing, just had a look, they do horseradish sauce, seafood sauce.

    I have to wait until tonight for more milk to arrive in my Ocado order, I purposely chose the last delivery slot of the night as it doesn't matter if they are late, last time my order was 50 minutes late and I had to stay in even though I had to be somewhere. I would have preferred a daytime slot as I have run out of milk, eggs, cheese, bread etc and I could be having a cup of tea right now.

    I will order tofu in my next order as at the moment Clearspring organic tofu is buy one get one free at Ocado.

    Mr Organics extra virgin olive oil looks nice too, on offer at the moment.

    Hi y'all :wave: been busy re-potting indoor plants before they go in the garden May- September.

    My mayo recommendations would be Abel & Cole and Sainsbury's SO organic. Agree Tesco one vile, not tried Simply Delicious and didn't like the Riverford one, it was like spooning out jelly it was so solid.

    Will dig out recipe for mayo, if you have food processor and family or having friends round for lunch, BBQ etc making own possibly more economical.

    I like Clipper Earl Grey teabags, also Sainsbury's SO organic and Morrisons organic.

    When I have to go to supermarkets with my mother, I take the opportunity to stock up on offers on Ecover if there are any, ditto Andrex Eco or Nouvelle Soft and get teabags.

    My mother is really and I mean really excited at the idea of us moving to Sussex already. She's planning to drag me to yoga (good luck with that) and jazz breakfasts and on outings to gardens, nurseries, farmers markets etc to intro me to people/places. So I may be able to recommend organic stuff from there.

    Beckyy we think the Waitrose organic peas and petit pois better than Sainsbury's ones and IIRC the Waitrose garden peas cheaper than Sainsbos.

    soph like raw fennel in salad, OH does great celeriac and fennel mash. The Taifun tofu with basil is great - and I don't even like tofu :D

    In Savers today, DGJ organic baby shampoo and body wash, might be for babies but they looked a good size for travel for adults! Didn't check what size they were, not full size, maybe 100-150ml ish. £1 each.

    Wilkos weirdly had no Ecover on the shelves this morning, price tags till there so hopefully they were just totally out of stock - as their regular prices are cheaper than Asda when I checked today also.

    Me too. That's a real shame, I bet their customers are disappointed.

    Finally get on here for 5 minutes, we had a lovely holiday thankyou!
    Complete chaos this week, at least DH has got himself another job so I don't have to worry as much about finding yellow stickered organic bits which are hard to come by as it is.
    Not got much to report on the shopping as still trying to get through my double veg box order. I do have a very good fridge though as some stuff will keep fine for upto 3 weeks. I've got a fennel to use up never had one of those before either.

    My nearest sainsburys doesn't stock their organic frozen peas, I was quite disappointed when I went looking for them.

    I struggling to find a nice organic mayo. We used to buy hellmanns. I first bought sainsburys organic which was lovely , mustardy too, but it's 30+ miles away so I don't get there very often to get more. I bought some of Tesco organic and it's horrible, OH refused to eat it so I had to buy some Hellmanns. I'll have to use up the Tesco one here and there.

    Any recommendations please?

    The Waitrose Organic mayo is lovely!
