I'd also be interested in knowing if anyone has seen coconut and/or almond flour?
I get the Meridian stuff from a local health food shop but as other posters have said, it lasts for ages so it's quite economical. It's very 'wholesome' and almost savoury tasting - I like it as I don't have a sweet tooth but my peanut butter loving OH really didn't like it at all. I fed it to him on porridge and now he checks every bowl suspiciously in case I'm trying to sneak it past him againI like it on rice cakes too.
Holland and Barrat also have coconut flour and so do Goodness Direct - they have a £10 off if you spend £35 offer on at the moment.0 -
Went in to morrisons yesterday, they had no whole meal flour and very little choice in whole meal pasta. Aldi didn't either, although I did get some cheap salad stuff.
Question: is Almond milk ok? Which one? I looked at unsweetened but it seemed to have loads of stuff in it? Or is cows milk ok from the local milkman- farm 3 miles away.
Also which supermarket do u think is best for clean food?
I think I will have to look at my portion control, this clean food is going to cost me more £2 for a jar of peanut butter instead of 80p, £1 for pasta instead of 25p
I will of course use up what I have in my cupboards then replace with clean food0 -

You can make your own almond milk easily and more cheaply than the bought stuff. I haven't tried yet but I'm going to get the almonds from Aldi or a local ethnic shop.
There are a lot of recipes online, eg http://www.hungryhealthyhappy.com/homemade-almond-milk/
Then there are a lot of recipes for using up the pulp that is left over0 -

Almond milk is good, although there is nothing unclean about cow milk either it just depends on whether you want to eat dairy or not. I personally like dairy so I have it.
I did aldi very good for clean shopping and I posted a picture and list of one of my weekly shops there early in this thread. Eating clean mans I have little to no use for asda since I just eat fruit and veg and meat. The general advice for clean shopping is 'skirt the outer aisles and ignore the middle of the supermarket except for dry goods'.
I save a bomb shopping at aldi though. £17 is my average weekly spend plus the odd top up occasionally.LBM moment Nov 2013

Asda do a decent selection of wholemeal pasta. Im sticking with everyday value peanut butter for now, its 64p for 340g. It does have sunflower oil in it but no palm oil.
Aldi are doing wholemeal pasta just now. If you do like sweet potatoes they also do a bag of them fairly cheaply.
If I could afford to buy a jar of peanut butter that cost 5 quid I would, but at the moment I cant so not going to kick myself for that.0 -
I have seen wholemeal pasta, rice, lasagne sheets etc in Morrisons.
I will be checking out my local heath food shop soon. Was going to go this weekend, but the storms are going to get worse so I will be avoiding the roads, its bad enough today with flooding and gales0 -

I quite like the Aldi peanut butter actually, it seems to have minimal ingredients and is cheap.LBM moment Nov 2013

I'm 'up north' so maybe they think there's no call for it?
I'm going to email them ask ask them why so little whole meal stuff, also I looked online at there new online shopping and I looked at peanut butter, was going to buy some sun pat pb , but when I checked instore it had more ingredients in it!0 -
I'm in the North West and we have the wholewheat pasta etc in Aldi atm, but not Morrisons, Asda, or anywhere else that I've seen either. It's a bit of a pain. Although I don't eat pasta, I do like rice, and I actually don't like white rice, it tastes like nothing and sometimes makes me feel like I can't finish a meal just because of how much it bores me so I'd like to be able to readily find brown rice.LBM moment Nov 2013

I'd recommend the Sainsbury's wholemeal spaghetti - it's 95p a pack, which I think is the same price as their own brand white stuff. I used to buy it because it was about half the price of the white spaghetti but sadly the price has crept up over the past couple of years.0
