My EV olive oil stash is rapidly diminishing and as I use a lot I have been looking for a good deal to replenish it. I tend to buy in either 3 or 5L cans, unless I can get 1L bottles as a decent pro rata per litre rate. Last bought a couple of 5L cans from Makro a few months ago at £15.99 each but noticed on my last visit on Friday how much that had gone up. Same thing is now £23.99

So if anybody spots a great deal on EV olive oil please shout

Is Aldi any good? Still 42p per 100ml there. 38p at Tesco and Ocado.

Sorry that should have been 32p.

Do you cook with it foxy? I use it in dough and dressings but was told not to use it for cooking because of short chain fatty acids or something. Can't remember which way round it was now.🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you for the cuppa Roma and yes elaine, it's gorgeous out there.

just been reading chatmums  energy post upstairs. It makes good reading🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

im going to be living out of the freezer this week. I never did a whoopsie run yesterday. However I did pop to asda at the weekend to try out my Blue Light card🤗🤗🤗🤗They have some large tins of Pek at the entrance. I got a few as DS's girlfriend loves Spam. Is Spam and Pek nearly the same? They use it a lot in the Philippines. It's often used in a breakfast dish with rice. A left over from the Americans using it big style after the war.

anyway it's on offer for £1 a tin.

just a thought.

As prices are increasing, it might be worthwhile posting about good prices for weekly staples. eg I buy a 6 pack of crisps every week for lunches. I usually get seabrook but will happily buy anything really. I noticed in Heron they have gone down to a 5 pack. 😕

If anyone sees cheap crisps please post. And any other one offs for stuff we buy weekly. We might then be able to " bulk buy" which will cut down on petrol too.🤗🤗

I don't cook with it, I tend to use rapeseed oil for that, but I use it non cooked in so many other things. I love crusty bread dipped in a really good olive oil, alongside some sliced fresh tomatoes and perhaps a bit of burrata...yummy.
