    I only buy bits & bobs from M&S, things we enjoy. I couldn't justify paying over the odds for food that is cheaper in Aldi. Great video. I'm a new subscriber here ✨

      Aldi is far from the quality of m and s. Aldi veg and fruit never lasts a week

    Hint for super easy mash throw some whole potatoes (stabbed) in the air fryer for 30min and when they're cooked scoop out the insides, add butter, milk, salt, nutmeg and you're done.

    I just had to pause the video to comment 😂 YES I hear you about being on a mission to find the best shop brought curry box, We have tried all of the boxes & hand on heart ASDA you really can’t beat, Absolutely incredible value & often on offer for £6.50, I always pick up a Bombay potato side too when the offer is on that’s £1.50 😋

    New follower I love m&s but always buy my nice treat bits from there or waitrose and do my monthly or every other week shop from aldi. I do use a farmers market they deliver a small mixed box of fruit and veg a week for 10 or a large family one for 20 which saves us because we go through alot x
