I didn't think I had either when I went to Lidl yesterday. So they didn't have the usual 6 pints but plenty of 4 (or so I thought) which I slung into my basket without thinking much. Turns out what I bought was organic - at £1.79 - and tastes just the same in tea.

I went in specifically for my Victoria sponge, as it is a superior product to other supermarket equivalents. Its gone up by 20p in the last fortnight to £2.19 (but is worth it, IME). Its been a long time since I have seen a cake in the Deluxe brand reduced by 30%.

The stollen are back and stacked by the door with the other goodies on promotion.

Drat you Rosa!  I did not need to know the stollen were in stock!!!  Next thing I know Iceland will be sold out of coffee cremes!!!

Oh No! My DH loves stollen so that will be on the shopping list. I look forward to getting my own marzipan bars from Lidl and cherry liqueurs from Aldi. The difference is that I save my treats for Christmas. He'll be eating stollen for the next 3 months +! 🤣

I just found the Spreadable Cheese in a tub in Aldi.   It's very nice (the "strong" variant, anyway).   89p/150g

Just to let you know, Batts tomato ketchup back in my local Lidl this morning. Only a few boxes though, so don't know how long it will last.

You'll curse me further when I tell you that I opened up a stollen left over from last Christmas to go with my afternoon coffee. Tastes absolutely fine

I didn't think to look in the direction of the ketchup the other day, but now I will.

Mexican week at Lidl - lots of snacky things like beef empanadas and stuffed jalapenos.  Also seem to have deep fried avocado which seems intriguing.

For anyone who  is a fan of Batts salad cream which has not been in stock in my area for ages, it was back in stock in Lidls Southend Greyhound retail park this morning .

Decided against the mexican items in Lidl as I didn't in the end think that frozen mashed avocado in crumb batter was all that appealing.  I did however get some of their frozen potato items  - one was the reblochon & bacon potato cakes (also had a rosemary and thyme one and also an emmental which I've had & enjoyed previously) and the other were croquette potatoes with a raclette cheese filling.  Yes I do love potatoes and cheese!!
