On the way back there was no queue at all so I initially assumed it was shut or some such. So we parked in their car park, I went in and whilst I can't say the place was empty, there were less than a handful of people and some of them were staff stocking shelves. SWMBO ventured out to Aldi today (son and I are classed as high risk). She said it was quiet and the only shortages were loo rolls and pasta. I've seen corner shops advertising they have loo rolls and I've rarely seen a queue outside them but they are often rabbit warrens of stuff stacked to the ceiling and I'm not sure how well they are managing the shoppers / staff. Some have had a one_at_a_time system but haven't checked them out (as at 63 and living with a 70+ I'm not taking liberties). Hopefully daughter will be getting us (and my 90 yr old Mum) some bits from Aldi tonight. We were already (pre Covid-19) on an 'eat less' drive so were only buying small cut wholemeal loaves. When you could pick them up freely, that's what we did. Yesterday I split one up into 4 slice bundles and put them in freezer bags in the (small) freezer. I think those with big / multiple freezers often do that anyway, along with some milk? We are ok with the milk as we (only) use the oat / soya / rice / almond alternatives. Saw some oat milk yesterday in Tesco Express for £2 a carton whereas it is (or was last time we shopped there) 89p in Aldi! 65p or so for soya. Still fancy making some bread as that's something we realise we rely on, especially for quick meals (beans on toast) or sweet snacks (jam / marmalade / chocolate spread). We have previously borrowed a neighbours bread maker and whilst it worked, it was quite bulky and I think could only make the one size of loaf. They can all make multiple loaf sizes. Because home made bread seem to go hard very quickly Because it doesn't use the obscene Chorleywood process. so we found ourselves eating it faster than we otherwise might? Just make a smaller loaf. I'm assuming you could bake then freeze your diy bread? Yep, works fine. |
