Organic food in supermarkets

^ Will have a listen.

I like the look of the vanilla Brown Cow yoghurts on A&C.
I could probably get everything I need from them on a weekly basis, would be better than Ocado as could place small orders - might ring them and see roughly what time they would deliver as next week I have an appt on delivery day

I have bought the 75p size Brown Cow Organics yogurts for OH for lunches and did try some of the vanilla one, which I liked.

We had the special edition Christmas Pudding yogurts at Christmas and while they definitely tasted like Christmas pud it did seem strange in a yogurt :eek:

The YV peach and apricot yogurt doesn't have much fruit, tastes really peachy though but I thought it had a strange after taste. The strawberry one is just lush.

Personally I prefer the Yeo Valley organic natural yogurt (green pot) myself and I use the natural Greek style one to make tzatziki and borani esfanaj with. I've also been known to eat the small pots of YV sour cream

Abel & Cole does minimum order of $10 with 99p delivery charge and Riverford Organics does $12.50 minimum order with free delivery.

^ Both seem excellent for delivery compared to supermarket delivery costs.

I usually get Rachel's vanilla as prefer it to YV, it seems creamier, less sharp.
But in strawberry I get YV. I don't like my yoghurts to have lumps in so I do like the YV mini pots.
Not sure about xmas pud flavour?
The only Duchy yoghurt I've tried is the butterscotch.
Have only used the YV natural yoghurt in cooking but don't think I've even seen the sour cream though not that I've particularly looked for it..

Kirri - Rachel's organic low fat vanilla bio live yogurt 350g on offer from today at Lidl 99p

YV organic sour cream is in purply Union Jack design pot often on offer at Ocado for 99p

Haven't tried Duchy yogurts, OH only just gotten into yogurt, I go for natural.

He liked the additive-free farm-made Glenilen Farm yogurts which were on offer at Ocado recently, they come from Northern Ireland.

Just looked on MySupermarket, the YV sour cream is only sold in Ocado and Tesco so that's why I've not noticed it when shopping. Will remember for future use though!

Nearest Lidl is 45 mins walk each way so I don't go there often.

I didn't know that about the sour cream.. tis yummy stuff.

No way would I walk 45 mins each way eek

Kirri

It's 45 mins with 3 hills too, even worse! I could drive there or go on public transport but never seems worth it for the odd item on offer so if I pay to go shopping I tend to go to Waitrose.

I live right near a station too and never use my car for commuting, it's too much of a petrol drinker, but I love it and could never part with it

Edwardia

Definitely wouldn't bother with three hills eek.

Which supermarkets do you find most organic food instore ? That goes for anyone else lurking too

Occurs to me today, that going organic is easier than doing a low carb or low fat diet because there's not really much you actually change and can still use same recipes...they just taste even better.

Kirri

Waitrose or second (large) Sainsbury's are the only two worth trying to do a 'full shop' in but still need to top up in specialist organic shops I find.
