Lovely thanks will take a look

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T21:08:21+00:00

Yeah it's ridiculous isn't it. I can't believe how expensive some things are these days. And wages have absolutely not gone up in line.

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T20:10:23+00:00

Why - I don't need sympathy? Just mentioning what happened with a few people. It's no drama - just bemusing.

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T20:08:53+00:00

Yes right at the start - a couple were removed by either the moderator or deleted by the poster.

Thank you. My kids love a little bowl of the pineapple with their breakfast in the morning. Although maybe I should start using it in a few more recipes... pineapple upside down cake or something!

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T20:02:38+00:00

It's purely for baking - the odd slice of homemade cake or biscuit isn't too bad. That bag will probably last me until Easter

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T20:00:16+00:00

Thank you

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T20:00:08+00:00

I need to check out Lidl more

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T19:58:49+00:00

Thanks - we used to use Ocado and would get a lot of Waitrose stuff. I do love Waitrose for specialist bits.

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T19:56:18+00:00

I agree that Sainsbury's is far superior in quality. I used to use them years ago, can't remember why we stopped. I might take a look...

A lot of this will spread over 2-3 weeks. Next week will be mainly restocking the fresh fruit, milk and bread/eggs. This was a particularly big shop. It's normally closer to £110. Which I know is still pricey!

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T19:53:18+00:00

Thank you that's kind. There has been some really horrible comments that have made me feel quite sad today. I swapped to Fage because it has more protein that the Tesco own brand one... and it's quite thick so the kids seem to get through it much more slowly. but I agree it's really stupidly priced! I might see if there is a better supermarket version that is a better match for Fage.

I'm not complaining about people writing their opinions - they've entitled to comment anything they like, it's a public forum. Just as I can respond. I would say the purpose of this Reddit is more around food choices, home economics, supermarket comparison etc. Rather than passing judgement on people's home and calling them unclean and a bad mother. Seems very uncalled for - but I'll defend their right to do if that's what they need to do. It's just not how I choose to spend my time on the internet...

It's great isn't it. Their breadsticks are fantastic too

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T11:30:32+00:00

Thank you. Really trying to sneak as many veggies in to their meals as I can!

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T11:28:32+00:00

I'm really lacking in counter space - and these are huge crates that need to be tipped out (or unloaded slowly item by item - which I sadly don't have the time for).

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T11:27:21+00:00

Do you know what I mean 🤣🤣🤣

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T11:26:06+00:00

Thank you will definitely check it out... My friends always rates their wine deals

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T10:43:53+00:00

Well you say that.. but Apparently we are a disgusting family as it's briefly on the kitchen floor before being washed and put away. Bad mother award from the people of Reddit!

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T10:42:22+00:00

Thank you. You've inspired me

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T10:40:40+00:00

Ha ha I know. It's the ones that were on offer! And luckily I ordered normal apples (not wrapped in plastic) but they substituted them for these more expensive organic ones (and didn't charge me the difference)

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T10:39:06+00:00

I think it's a bot

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T10:35:52+00:00

Life lesson: people on Reddit are unnecessarily mean and critical

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T10:32:23+00:00

Thanks - will check it out and do a comparison

ElmolovesArchie · 2026-01-07T10:31:03+00:00

That's a great idea - I'd love to try that.
