Seeds and nuts

Options
Hi all,


I eat a lot of seeds and nuts. Not only can they be a bit pricey, but prices seem to vary widely also.


Anyone got any tips on the best values places to buy seeds and nuts, whether in store or online? Happy to bulk buy.


Cheers.

    Hello,

    I buy pumpkin and sunflower seeds in Lidl.

    £0.99 for a pack of 175gr for pumpkin seeds or 200gr for sunflower seeds I think.

    We're actually approaching the best time of year to buy nuts now, in the run up to Ramadan the big supermarkets often have offers on big bags of almonds, pistachios and cashews. Hazelnuts and pecans never seem to be particularly discounted though.

    Check out local Indian/Asian food shops. They tend to stock things like that in larger packs than you can get in the supermarket :D

    Thanks all. Yes, I have a great local shop near me that sells a wide variety of global produce at great prices, including large bags of nuts. But not so much in the way of seeds.....so I guess my original query should have been more about the seeds....!


    I tend to buy from Lidl/Aldi (never know which one I'm in to be honest!) but wondered if there was a bulk supplier that provided more value for money?

    I think you should buy it on your locally shop, and there is no options here.

    Poundland and Home Bargains both have surprising cheap seeds and nuts.

    Poundland have some surprising offerings in their whole foods section. Aldi are another good one

    Do you mind value salted nuts?

    These are often in the price range of 30p per 100g.
