Is Lindt not part of their brand match? They should give you discount then for the next purchase if I understand the whole thing correctly.

There were no brand match banners anywhere near the Lindt shelves so I doubt it.

Jirre, don't get me started on that publicity stunt.

If they know the price is lower, then they shoud just ****ing lower their price! None of these stupid paper voucher things that you lose before you next go there, or forget about, or whatever.

While we are on the subject of burning us low carbers - Nature's Choice Macadamia Nut butter (which I consider to be the best tasting of them all) cannot be found for under R99 per 410g bottle. Last year Dischem had a special where you could get them for R45!

Someone is printing money at our expense now that they know these products are moving fast.

Also, NEVER buy the Dischem branded Macadamia Nut butter - tastes vile to me. Oh Mega is decent if you can find it.

Nah. Just get annoyed at people who treat me like an idiot.

There is always this option (Cape Town based though).

CocoáFair Organic Chocolate

Their 95% is R45 (unless changed since Nov 2014) which is reasonable considering that they are not mass produced like Lindt.

I think I need to make a turn.

Looks amazing

I had an operation on my hip 2 weeks ago and I can't really cook with crutches. I ran out of my pre-made LCHF frozen lunch food today.

Solution: I ate a whole big bag of those cheap Willards Crinkle Cut chips. I regret this decision.

Eina. Gonna hurt tomorrow...

I made pita bread with almond flour and then used 2 of them as pizza bases, worked out wonderfully. Family friend told me about almond flour scones that are made with bacon jam, trying them this weekend hopefully

just keep at it ... i seem to be slowing down on the losses as well but from what i've read
its normal, just gotta keep doing it till u see more.

I literally just looked up a pita recipe online and subbed the flour for almond flour. Just play around with the warm water until you get good consistency. It's a bit coarse but once it's used as a pizza base, you don't notice anything.
