i’m not sure if you’re having a technical issue with the website but the page does not seem to be accepting comments with “embedded” tags. (the “a href” instruction)

i’m fairly confident the html was correct, so you might wish to investigate the issue.

Hi Ellee – belated Happy Birthday!

I left a comment on this topic last week but evidently did not press the right button! LOL.

However, I wished to tell you we now do as much of our shopping at Lidls as possible as we have a branch nearby plus the rest in either Sainsburys or Asda.

We plan every main meal and write our lists accordingly; we cook too much for two and either freeze extra or use roast meats for salads on the second day. In other words, good old-fashioned housekeeping like my mother has always practised. Have we taught our younger folk the same? I wonder.

Mutley, I can never stick to a list, that is where internet shopping has an advantage.

David, yes, Geoff is a gem, I would be lost without him…

I have been writing about the delights of Aldi for about a year – since I got really poor actually. The answer to shopping is – make alist – and only buy what you went for. Supermarkets hate that!

David, my friend Geoff gave me my best birthday present – sorting out my computer problems and giving me peace of mind. I’m very easily pleased. And many thanks for the birthday wishes.

I really do wish I was a veggie.
Unfortunately, someone went and invented bacon butties and HP brown sauce….

Another tip …

shop late in the day when they start off loading ’sell by’ produce at discount.

I first started shopping at Aldi many years ago. I found it was the only place I could get some of the German foods I enjoy. Now Morrisons has some of this food, however, they are more expensive and the quality is not always as good.
