I called Mr J ahead of the mission to get his list, which consisted of relatively few products, but mostly in quantities of six (which I did have to double check with him when I was then in store - did he really mean "a pack of 6 crumpets", or "6 packs of crumpets"...it proved to be the latter - once this was cleared up it made searching out the rest of the shopping list a bit easier!).

Mindful of both the budget and only having two hands and a small backpack, I was doing the arithmetic as I then filled the basket. We didn't quite complete the list, but I'll admit to being impressed by how much you can get for c£30 in Aldi! Mr J was delighted when I arrived at his door with armfuls of his treasure, which hopefully will keep him going for the next couple of weeks.
