Bargains for Cheese Addicts Only!

Because of my current obsession with jam-making, my husband ended up going shopping alone this week...!
We are well stocked up on most things so he only had to do a basic shop - hence no more attention than necessary was spent looking for bargains. David has yet to embrace shopping as a sport akin to Big Game Hunting, but rather as a necessary evil, to be done and recovered from as soon as possible!
But he did turn up a rather good bargain in the Cheese department at Morrisons, where their own 380g  Mature Cheddar costing £3.49 is on a BOGOF. That's a whole lot of cheese for your money!

The big discovery this week was Dairyfine Chocolate at 79p per bar at Aldi. Unfortunately there is nothing left to check the weight of the bars (hem hem!) but they are a good size. 
In our taste tests ( oh yes, very scientific...) we found that the Dark Chocolate bar was not bad at all for the price, good and chocolately and rich enough to be (relatively) long lasting.
The Milk Chocolate, on the other hand, was a real surprise. it doesn't pretend to be anything like the well-known market leaders, and instead has a hint of vanilla and caramel about it, slightly reminiscent of Caramac bars. Unusual, very pleasant, and unbelievably more-ish. And no, there isn't any more, ish or otherwise. Sorry.
