Another Approved Food Order

I placed another order with approved food the other day. This one was much smaller and I managed to use some credit I'd earnt through recommendations so ti didn't cost too much. 
 Really I was just interested in bread flour as we were out of the cheap stuff we bought last time and I haven't been to Lidl in a while. the flour above was limited to 9 bags per customer but it worked out at 33p per kg and it's not even out of date (march 2016). After this is used up I might bulk buy from FWP Mathews as their 16kg bags work out quite cheap for organic flour ( and not to far from the mothering law so she can save me some postage).
The other thing I stocked up on was spice mixes. A really cheap way to buy spices as these were either 3 or 4 bags for a pound, and sealed up like this I can't see them going off very quickly. We love peri peri and it doesn't have to be on chicken, rabbit or cheap cuts or pork work just as well.

If you're going to buy from Approved food use this link top earn me money off my next shop - I'll be most grateful!

    Many thanks for the tip off about FW Matthews, I had never heard of them. Great to know about the cheap bread flour at Approved Foods too.

    When we were students, we used to buy very large sacks of Organic Stoneground Flour from Pimhill Farm in Shropshire. We lived on unleavened bread, vegs, and beer.

      It's a good deal though. Sorry I haven't been by your blog much lately but I've not been to many, just been too busy. I'll have a catch up soon! Hope all is okay.

    I've been threatening to put an approved foods order in for ages, never crossed my mind that I could get my flour from there! off to scan the site and see if I can justify an order now, thanks for the reminder :)

      There's lots of store cupboard staples on there. If you do use them then use the link and I earn a few pounds as well!

    I've not placed an order from Approved Foods for a while now. I should check out the flour and see if there's any left :-)

    It's always good to look through their site for the real store cupboard basics, like your spice mixes. I'm always shocked when I see them in the supermarkets at full price after being used to buying them from AF. My Cous Cous mountain has really diminished so I should also look out for another offer on there to replenish it.

      I love buying in bulk and they are quite cheap so long as you don;t mind sell by dates!

    I don't have any similar stores near me here but there is one that sounds like the same type in North Carolina and we drive up there ever so often.

      It's only worth it a few times a year but a good way to reduce the food bill and stock up.
