Myself a dd love lyches and knowing they aren't that available this time of year and not that cheap the rest we had been buying the tinned ones.
72p in mr t's is the only place i have found them-went in today to stock up again and they have replaced them with princes at 99p!

They were a bit of a treat anyway but not paying that much-anyone know a good place to get them? A's don't seem to sell them at all.

  • Fresh lychees are available now, expensive in supermarkets but try a Chinese supermarket if you have one nearby where they are much cheaper. Aldi and Lidl should be getting their Chinese New Year stock in soon and usually have tinned lychees at a reasonable price.

    Much cheaper on a market stall....in fact so easy to eat, if you're in the East End it's worth going to New Spitafields v early one morning for a crate. Delish!
