Marks Nuts and Seed

[MarkH]

Hi All,
My nuts and seeds are costing me a fortune
Currently just buying from Aldi/Asda in normal bags
Cashews
Walnuts
Pumpkin
Brazil’s
I went to the local market and they were similar price
Where do you buy from? Am I missing a trick?
Cheers

I think nuts are expensive anywhere, I get mine at Grape Tree, I don't know if you have a branch near you. They often have two for one, or other deals, so I buy whatever's on offer. The thing I do get which I think is good value is their Omega seed mix, which is a mix of Pumpkin, sunflower, golden and brown linseed, a large bag for a couple of quid, and often on offer. (They also do other seed mixes)

I find Lidl have a good selection of not stupidly expensive nuts and seeds.
However, I avoid cashews as, for nuts, they are relatively higher in carbs than the other types.

I use Grape Tree and sometimes buy bags in ALDI.

I’d avoid cashews but I buy almonds, walnuts, Brazil and macadamia from wherever has them on offer although the price doesn’t really seem much different in one shop to another. Apart from Holland and Barrett that is. They’re more expensive in there than they are in Waitrose.

Biggest bags I’ll buy are Lidl or from a Chinese supermarket. They’re cheapest I’m there but it’s not always convenient to go.

Grape Tree also do on line orders and do special offers sometimes. Asian shops have usually good prices bags of all sorts of things. Prices have generally shot up recently, you need a second mortgage for pine nuts.

Grape tree always cheap, cheaper than likes of Holland & Barrett anyway.

I'm another Lidl fan for big bags of nuts and i get my mixed seeds and chia seeds there too.
