Oh, and I don't buy much veg as we grow a lot, but why would anyone pay £2 for 2kg of potatoes from Tesco when you can get 25kg for less than £10 from a farm shop?!
Depends how many you are buying for 25kg of potatoes may take some getting through for 2 or 3 people
I boil them up all (10kg) in one go in my big cauldren.
Then I make up several dishes of potatoes and put them in the freezer ready for roasting. Defrost, drizzle with oil, add salt, pepper, rosemary. Gorgeous.
I then mash some of them and put them in different glass dishes and freeze. Defrost then add butter and milk. Microwave for 2 minutes.
Others I cut into wedges and put on a baking tray. Freeze. Then defrost, drizzle with oil and bake.
Nothing goes to waste in my house but also when you are short of time, to have the potatoes prepared and ready to go makes life very easy.
They have small fresh displays, keeping most of the stock in a proper chilled condition - not having it lying out in the shop for ages to create "impressive displays".Aldi & Lidl fruit and veg knock spots off ASDA.
If I was to open my own supermarket in Stafford, I would hand each of the Lidl staff an application form, they are hard-working, diligent and competent.I've seen fruit and veg on display in ASDA with white fur on.
Does the department supervisor walk around with his / her eyes closed?
They've compromised and agreed to replant it on Doxey Marsh.Anyone know the outcome of the planning meeting regarding Aldi? Do they have to replant the hedge or have they got away with it?
Last time I went in , ages ago, I handed one of the staff in Asda the 2 nets of furry oranges I'd just picked up. Watched her as I walked away, she put them back with all the others!I've seen fruit and veg on display in ASDA with white fur on.

That implies you have enough freezer space to hand.
There are potato peeling machines - or an attachment, if you have a Kenwood Chef.Yes. it is a bit of a faff peeling them all in one go and one does lose the will a little bit, but (for me anyway) it saves time in the long run.

I remember someone having a water powered one years ago, worked quite well - but, best avoided if you have a water meter.

Look for the model number - if it's an A7??, then you can try my peeler sometime. At that age, it should be compatible. It might not fit A9??s and later models. And it'll be too short to fit the Chef Major models.Well I never.
I do have a Kenwood Chef, mind you it is 50 years old.
