Today's Bargains, and a Nutella note or two...!

A few bits worth looking for today...

ALDI

A generous 150g wedge of speciality cheese for just 99p
Our local branch had three varieties to choose from: White Stilton with Apricots, Smokey Cheddar or Wensleydale with Chives and Onions.

10" Stonebaked Pizza for £1.49. Pepperoni or Ham and Pineapple were available, but others may be available.

150g of Marinated Smoked Salmon currently on promotion, so a 33% discount brings the price down to £2.29. This is the good stuff, fit for offering to vicars or prospective Mothers-In-Law!

 Fresh Chicken Leg Quarters just 99p for a pack of two. Ok, it's not going to be organic or free-range for that price, but if it's bog standard chicken you want, it's pretty good value especially if you plan to smother it with a sauce.

Bread: White Square Sandwich Loaf is still only 30p. Not the most exciting bread in the world perhaps, but ideal for comforting tea-time toast, or for making bread pudding, or even for filling up the freezer to keep it running economically, and at least it's edible unlike scrunched up newspaper!
Slightly more exciting is the Farmhouse Multigrain Batch Loaf  at 85p.

And a quick reminder that Aldi Grandessa Jams and Marmalades  have been winning awards for taste and quality, and are among the best value anywhere! Prices start at 59p

 ICELAND

Still have a variety  of 1kg bags of frozen veg for £1.
They also have a number of Young's products such as Admiral's Pie for £1 while their own individual ready meals start at 75p. Always a useful standby for a cold-weather lunch or supper.

MORRISONS

Shreddies 750g are on a BOGOF. At £2.39 they are not the cheapest cereal, but nothing beats the taste of the original version, and the less expensive copy-cat products usually come in a  much smaller 500g box.

Simpson's Tinned Sponge Puddings (similar to H***z) are currently 2 for £1. Available flavours locally were Sticky Toffee, Strawberry and Chocolate.

Lancaster Corned Beef at £1.20 per 340g tin is a good quality product at a very reasonable price. Put it in the fridge for a few hours before opening for ease of slicing. This size tin comfortably makes a couple of rounds of sandwiches plus a good quantity of Corned Beef Hash without any trouble. Remember to save any fat from the can for frying your Hash. Ah, those good old Ministry of Food leaflets!

Alpro 1l Soya Drink is still only 83p.

4 pints 1% Fat Milk (Purple Top) is back on offer at just 50p. Perfectly good for tea and coffee and custards etc, even if you prefer a less skimmed milk on your cereal! I think this works out cheaper than buying dried milk!

Danepak Bacon, 6 Thick Cut Rashers (220g) £1.45. Normally £3, so this is better than half-price. 

POUNDLAND

Nutella 200g in the plain drinking glass! A classic! Don't ask the price...

I used to buy this gorgeous goo when my children were young and it used to come in a decorated glass that featuered the cultural icons (for the under 10s!) of the era. Occasionally they brought out the product in a plain but elegant drinking glass as well, and that is the version Poundland has. I liked them too because they were fairly small (for my little hands, never mind the kids'!) I still have my Scooby Doo glass, but Bart Simpson went the way of all glassware a few months ago. 
I shall buy the odd jar of this whilst thay have it in stock just so I can add to my supply of dinky glasses. I know I could probably buy the bigger screw-top jars at a lower-per-gram price elsewhere, but I shall kid myself that I'm doing my bit for the planet by re-using the glass instead of recycling a jar. Oh and I shall enjoy emptying it too...!
