Right am getting a little fed up how if its labelled "Baby food" it attracts an extra premium on price. I appreciate the ingredients may be organic and they have been careful about salt etc. but I am not sure it warrants the extra cost. So I have decided to go on a supermarket mission to find supermarket stuff that is normal priced but also suitable for a baby (I mean obviously fruit and veg count anyway) but I mean snacky things like rice cakes- we are now giving my DD the giant grown up ones (at first she was so confused- I think she thinks she had shrunk) as sainsburys do a salt free one for about 90p.
Also sainsburys do a tube of mini breadsticks- 69p for loads instead of the baby version which is about £1.50 for not very many!
Also trying her on the fruit bars for school kids as she loves the baby fruit bars but they are much more expensive (but they are a bit tougher to gum on but she loves em.
Anyhow do you see where I am going with this thread?
Can anyone post their little gems of adult food that is suitable for baby? (I mean I know you could probably feed your baby anything adult from the supermarket but am thinking of healthyish non junky snacks that mumsnetters could help come up with a list)
and P.S don't even bother to buy Ella Organic baby rice and lentils- I don't know what possessed me to pay £2 or summat for 4 tiny boil in the bag packets of bloody rice and sodding lentils when I could have just got a flipping teaspoon out! Sigh.
