That’s the trouble with things that are surprise packages, I don’t do veg boxes either

I tried a veg box service decades ago, it was very disappointing and expensive.

Did you know….organic spinach is cheaper than ordinary spinach in M&S? (Both the ones I looked at were washed, neither were baby spinach.)
I use what I need, and the remainder freezes perfectly.

Just seen that Aldi Chinese Leaves are 99p a head, down from £1.19, and it looks permanent. Kimchi lovers note!

Sainsbury's Christmas chutney was down to 18p a jar the other day.

I tried some in a Red Leicester sandwich and it was ok, probably a bit sweet for me, but it won't be wasted. It contains apples and pears and a spoonful will go nicely in a stew or a curry.

Sainsburys frozen cranberries were massively reduced this week (62p?), best before 2026.

The co-op in the village has Liberation crunchy peanut butter for £1.
A shelf full so I guess it's end of range.

I usually buy Whole Earth but thought I would invest £1 and see what it's like.
It's not as chunky as Whole Earth but the flavour is good, I could taste the peanut skin too, which I liked.
I will call in tomorrow for a couple more.

I like a spoonful of PB stirred through a beef stew at the end of cooking.
I have done it for decades, suspect it might have come from a Marguerite Patten recipe.
