"Did you know about this awesome thing you can buy from..."

[Gerrythetootallgiraffeswife]

Can we have a thread on this? I see great stuff on the main thread (someone mentioned cooked belly pork slices) but, like recipes, it moves so quickly that I lose things and can't keep up!

I should probably start with something I've discovered. But I haven't... I just steal other people's ideas. But I'm off to lidl today so looking for inspiration

Thought I would share a ready mixed spice I find useful for making fried fish and chicken extra nice. Its the thyme lemon and bay salt mill from Jamie Oliver which is stocked in Sainsbury's. But then I love salt!

Just been shopping in Aldi - found glass jars of premium Vension pate with

Costco does a bucket of Greek yogurt that is 10g of fat and 3.5g carbs for about £2

[GatoradeMeBitch]

Murray mints, I'll have to try that!

[bettybigballs]

Two tea finds that are delicious!

this one tastes like rhubarb and custard sweets

this one like hot murrey mints, delicous!

[TossedSaladsAndScrambledEggs]

Went shopping in farmfoods today and bought 2 200g packs of president Brie for a pound!

A pound of butter is also only £2 (about twice the size of a standard block).

Like the sound of the Lactofree product, will look out for it in the shops, I recognise it alright, thanks Lovecat good tip.

[bettybigballs]

Cocoa butter - makes bulletproof coffee taste slightly like a non sweet mocha. Very tasty.

And again with the box ticked...

Those of you missing 'proper' tea with milk (there's only so much coffee I can drink), I discovered these in Waitrose yesterday:

www.lactofree.co.uk/products/portion-packs/ - I'm sure they sell them elsewhere too - works out at 0.54g carb per 20ml portion and it was more than enough for a mug of tea (a bit too milky, tbh, would probably do me 2 cups!) - I've now got a couple in my handbag in case of emergencies.

Ordinary fridge full fat Lactofree is 2.8g per 100ml, which again isn't too shabby.

[CynicalandSmug]

I get mine from amazon too.

colette I have been using coconut oil for years to help with my thyroid. I think this is the best tasting one www.amazon.co.uk/Nutiva-Organic-Extra-Virgin-Coconut/dp/B004NTCE1M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391304356&sr=8-1&keywords=nutiva%20coconut%20oil&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21 and it's organic and cold pressed.

Lidl has a 500g bag of echalion shallots for £1 each. I may have stocked up and am planning a peel, chop and freeze tomorrow.

[colette]

CynicalandSmug where do you get your coconut oil from ?

[CynicalandSmug]

Coconut oil in coffee, google it. Amazing! So many benefits. I am waiting to try mct oil as well.

[HolgerDanske]

Divine 70% chocolate with chilli and orange is my favourite treat. I only need a square or two here and there and it's a perfect luxury for those times when nothing else will do.

[colette]

Aldi salmon - roast in tin foil with butter/chilli flakes/ lime juice . Shredded sweetheat cabbage fried in butter until crisp

[PseudoBadger]

Unearthed garlic king prawns are yummy, 1g carb per 100.

[bettybigballs]

Unearthed pork rilettes from Waitrose (they were reduced to 50p whooopp!) are really delicious. Had some as a lunch wrapped in little gem and then last night I added some to cauli rice and fried up in butter and oil. It was really delicious, richly meaty and a great texture with the slightly firm rice.
