Organic food in supermarkets

Edwardia

I haven't used Dr Organic but hopefully Kirri has I'm still working my way thru all the Organic Surge, Faith in Nature and Clarins stuff I got last Christmas.

Iceland is trialling online shopping in my area with minimum order £25 and free delivery.

Granted, Iceland doesn't do organic food, but it has wild fish eg Iceland 6 Atlantic cod fillets 780g £4 as well as Innocent additive free juices 900ml size on offer 2 for £3 and sells Burgen soya and linseed bread 800g size for £1(50p cheaper than Waitrose).

It depends what you are hoping the products to be.

The following is taken off their website:

Wherever a organic ingredient cannot be sourced a sustainable natural alternative is used.


They claim to use no animal ingredients or animal testing. They also say they use no harsh chemicals, so parabens, sls free.

Holland and Barrett sent me an email and seems loads of stuff on offer incl BOGOHP plus there's an offer on Dr Organic snail gel eww.

Real snail gel? Disgusting if so!

Never tried Dr Organic.. I mostly tend to stick to the same brands for toiletries now after finding things I like over the years, so don't try an awful lot of new things.


I picked up some of the food items I won this week, they were I think all non org but without additives/preservatives etc.

Collective Dairy Fudge yoghurt - SO good! But at 65p wasn't that cheap for non org single pot? Quite high in calories but nice for a treat.

Higgidy quiche - after reading the praise on here I finally tried one, loved it!! I never normally buy ready made stuff but this was nicer than I've made myself so I'm sure I will be tempted to buy this again.

Popchips - low in calories, quite nice/different, 69p for a small bag though. Again believe these were a natural product.

Steve's Leaves salad bag - nice salad and washed in spring water and packed in air not gas iirc.

Haven't been able to find G'nosh or Shaken Udder yet.

Edwardia

Yup I'm an ex chef and as as long as Higgidys stay additive free and tasting so good I won't be making quiche either

Kirri

^ Good price on the YV butter from Morrisons, cheapest I'd been getting it for was £1.49 from A&C although that is their standard price which is good compared to all other shops.

I'm sure it's probably been mentioned before on here but noticed on the Higgidy box that if you send in 10 use by dates within a 4 month period they will send a voucher for a free one.

Edwardia

Thanks to OH we are currently awaiting our third Higgidy voucher this summer he's a Higgidy addict

Sent OH to Morrisons today to pick up the Highland Game venison meatballs reduced from 2.59 to 2.29 if additive free and he sez yes. Had them with HG organic runner beans (tiny but still tough eek) and Seeds of Change organic Mediterranean vegetable sauce (Ocado offer) and sorry Kirri they really tasted good.

Iceland order turned up on time, so got more wild fish in freezer now
