Rice cakes back to normal standard.
I ended up binning the other pack!

I popped into a local Sainsburys yesterday for some single cream - an astonishing £1.50 for a 300ml pot! A five minute walk down the road secured me the equivalent product from Aldi for £1.10. Shameful 😠

I find the same thing at my local Taxco. But it saves me a walk as they have their own brand for £1.50 and a cheap brand for about 25% less - no surprise which one I pick. Same for cheese and a number of other products.

Lidl Italian week's here again. I've found a few new items, which piqued my interest:
- Guanciale dried pork cheek - think I'll use this in a risotto at some point
- Cheeses - mostly lighter cheeses
There's also some products, which I've had, enjoyed, and look out for now:
- Orichiette pasta - £1.49 a bag
- Chopped chilli in olive oil - excellent in bolognese, or any pasta ragu
- Salsicca Semi di Finocchio - fennel sausages, which are great in pasta or risotto
- Novellie biscuits - honey biscuits, which come in a large pack of 6/8 individual packs inside. Great with tea.
- Cherries in syrup - Around £2.50 a jar, but I've found they go a long way. Great in yoghurt and muesli.
- Amaretti biscuits (hard and soft varieties)
- Amaretti ice creams

The cherries do look interesting and much less expensive than Bonne Maman - will add them to my next basket. I think they would be a nice addition to an apple crumble:

@Rosa_Damascena I bought a jar this morning @ Greyhound retail park - they had lots.
Maldon is my local store and I have never managed to buy any from there despite there always being a space for them.

I think that's the only annoying thing about Lidl special weeks; that products vary from store to store. I wanted some soft Amaretti biscuits, but they didn't have any this time.

Oh!! Guanciale!! I'll have to go and have a look.
I was in there today and found some Italian wine on one of the middle aisles. Zibibbo - light crispy dry. Supposed to be £8.49 (I think) but reduced by £4 so dirt cheap. I bought 2 bottles but I'll see if they've got more of that as well. 12% alcohol so not a thin Italian!! (so many cheap whites are much too thin)
Annoyed that none of the local shops got the robot vacuums. I would have liked to try one of those.
