Mixed nuts

Daz2009

I currently buy Sainsbury's mixed nuts for use in baking £1.50 for 200g.
I'm trying to find somewhere that does larger quantities,for less money obviously
Not having much luck though

I suppose price is going to depend on what nuts are in the mix.  Do you have any preferences or requirements?

No,I don't mind at all although they're going in cereal bars so whole nuts are going to be too big,hence I buy chopped

Lidl nuts include whole Mixed Nuts.  They are normally £1.59 for 200g, but often appear on the weekend offers (all the nuts do), when they are typically £1.19.

They are quite a bit cheaper here (£5.31 per kg) but you have to spend £50 for free delivery.  Otherwise, I imagine the delivery charge will negate the saving.

Ah that makes my link irrelevant, sorry you didn’t mention they were chopped in your OP.

But whilst we're on the subject, these tend to lose their freshness quickly. I have bought numerous bags and it's always the hazelnuts at fault, they go bitter.

I can't really comment on the quality of the Lidl Mixed Nuts as I prefer the single cru packs.    But I can't imagine that they'd be too bad, especially when chopped.

I have Walnuts at the moment which are very nice (very crunchy, not at all mushy and not bitter either).

Before that, Brazils which were crunchy right to the end of the pack.  

I've also had Lidl Pecans, Cashews, Pistachios, and Dry Roasted Peanuts in the recent past, and they've all been good. 

I do tend to put them in an air-tight jar, though, rather than leave them in the bags, so that might help.
