I think the board guide did exactly the right thing to get the thread back on topic and keep to the main purpose of the thread for the benefit of most people.

As it is, this thread is about buying, not simply buys. IMO we should be discussing the shortages and price rises we're experiencing.
No prunes in Aldi today for the 4th week running. Also no prunes now in Sainsburys even if I was prepared to pay their prices. ☹️1 -

I think I probably started it. I simply asked what people thought had caused the shortages. Sadly, I don't think we can avoid politics in this. Normally I'm the first person to complain if I think the SM is at fault but not this time. I think they're probably doing their best to fill their shelves.1

Well not a lot of traffic here...
Anyhow Aldi seem to be sourcing more and more fruit from Egypt, the latest being some Grape varieties. I'm avoiding any fruit from Egypt simply because most ones I've tried have been poor quality that i've ended up binning. Also, the use by dates are quite ambitious in my view.0 -
New product in Aldi (Seasonal special) -
- Moroccan-inspired Hummus & Yogurt Dip (name?) - a delicious creamy, spicy dip (same area, similar price to other Hummus)
I also noticed Vegan "Cheese" in Lidl the other day.1 -
I went to portion up the 1kg Aldi salad potatoes that I bought yesterday morning into 3 x 333g (or as near as) only to find a distinct surplus at the end, total weight turned out to be 1.2kg. Supplied by G Holot of Israel, another new source...0

A bit odd to start a new thread but not close the old one (imho).
