We had a lengthy discussion this afternoon about the trade offs between Unwashed Baby Spinach (Mr T's vegetable of choice for the past however many weeks of shopping for him as it lasts longer in his fridge) and the washed variety (shorter shelf life) - prompted by Mr T discovering last week that a lot of "dirt" had formed around the top of his saucepan whilst washing (twice...) the unwashed variety.

To this end, he wasn't keen to continue to ingest whatever was lurking on these unwashed leaves, and so it's the washed variety he wants (understandably I'd say based on the description he gave me of his pan water...). Fortunately Lidl continues to stock all varieties, so it proved to be an easy substitution.

For the past few visits, Miss N has asked for a bag of Walnuts from the local Turkish store opposite Aldi, and is convinced they should only cost £6.99 - I'd only been able to find the £8.99 version (with 10% extra!) on my previous visits, so this week she showed me not only a photo of the bag, but also described where to find them...and so my mission was set and I was determined not to be defeated on the walnut front.

Of course the cheaper bag was located exactly where Miss N had described it, and with that, and an easy visit to the aisles of Aldi, all was well with her shopping for another week.
