Bread Flour - sourcing

Options
Has anyone else had difficulty getting bread flour from Lidl? I haven't been able to get it there for a few weeeks, Aldi doesn't have any either.

Where is the cheapest to get bogstandard strong white flour? I can get to Morrisons (they didn't have any ownbrand either!) Sainsbury's Asda or Mr T

    Hi purpleivy,

    My local lidl has never stocked breadflour. If you have a look at www.mysupermarket.co.uk you should be able to find which supermarket has the cheapest bread flour in your area.

  • I have recently changed to Lidl's Riding Lodge strong bread flour from Tesco's and I find it so much better. It was on offer on Saturday at 48p per bag so I stocked up. They have always had it in when I've been.

    I've tried various brands, but find the Sainsburys own brand works just as well as any other. The price has varied, but I paid 48p for 1.5 Kg last Saturday.
  • None of our local lidls have breadflour either, just SR and plain

    My local Lidl has moved the bread flour, no longer in the flour section for some reason

    Have you looked high & low? or if you are lucky enough to spot an employee ask them

    Last time I got wholemeal bread flour from our local bakery, in a large brown paper 'sack' It worked out at 33p per kg.

    We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
