I was looking for some frozen veggies to roast and add to couscous, and this sounds like just the thing.The Seasoned (Frozen) Vegetables "Italian Style" in Lidl are very definitely seasoned. I thought that they would just taste like vegetables with barely detectable flavour. Wrong. I left them cooking slowly in a frypan, and returned to a cloud of garlic fumes around the pan. They are very strongly flavoured - quite salty. I think they will be useful in cooking as they will add flavour to things. But, I could imagine someone who likes more subtle flavours to not like them.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Can't see why the guy moaned about the 1000 scans per hour. He would have know about it as he filled in the application form. It forms part of a question asked in 'what would you do' candidate screening sectionThe more I live, the more I learn.

The Aldi 72p Bananas are okay providing you choose the largest available rather than just picking up any pack. They sell in 5 banana packs but the sizes vary by quite a large margin in my experience. For example a relative purchased some for me as I cannot carry them due to a broken ankle and what I received weighed only around 800grams whereas the ones I choose, the larger banana packs weigh up to around 1.25 Kg. 72p for 800 grams of bananas is 90p/Kg which is more expensive than most supermarkets ATM. Whereas 1.25Kg equals 58p/Kg which I doubt you can beat anywhere else.As somebody else pointed out, it's typically cheaper now to buy single bananas at 11p each rather than a pack. The single ones are often pretty big.0 -
I actually asked the girl on the till whether this was true about the 1000 scans an hour (it was quiet when I went so there was no one behind me). Apparently its 1100 scans an hour but its an advisory because of queues rather than an order.Can't see why the guy moaned about the 1000 scans per hour.

They've now increased the price of single bananas from 11p to 12p. FWIW, the three I bought yesterday weigh 762g, so 47p/kg.Stompa0 -

Agree - PICK the BIGGEST.
Went up 4p to 72p/kg the same time as ASDA (been 68p for years - 5? 7? or longer even ?)
Anyway decided to see what was on offer after ASDA's increase and found the individual 11p ones.
Decided I wanted about 1 kilo's worth
Picked 6 (on the basis 66p was the "right" amount) but they were HUGE.
Weighed them when I got home 1.925kg :rotfl:
Each banana was well over 300g
Only way to buy them :j

What's the point in buying the biggest bananas unless you're going to use a whole one? It's not as though you can keep half of one for another day lol0 -
I've never once had any banana left.0
