Can anybody tell me what price they pay for Sunflower seeds right now?
I last bought a 300g pack at Tesco on the 4th November, and it cost me 45p.

Today I see the same 300g pack is on sale at £2.96. I'm in shock.

Doesn't sound right. Are you looking in the baking aisle? That's where you'll find the cheapest nuts and seeds.

Tesco are going a bit crazy with the price rises at the moment. I would try one of the other supermarkets

Hmmmm. Sainsburys are now charging 98p for 100g, up from around 22p a few weeks ago. I just bought a 500g pack at Holland and Barrett for £1.49 which was the best deal I could find in the high street.
I guess this is the new season stock and there was a lousy harvest due to the wet summer.

Here is a real find for the LC guys:

Tesco Best Bitter, per 440ml can: 3% alc, 88kcal, 0.9g carbs.
Husband is very happy except when the local store runs out of supplies.

Unfortunately since quitting low carb, I have forgotten alot. About what I can/can't eat etc... and this time I really don't want to make mistakes because I don't know enough.

So, if you find a product that's low carb... be it some kind of bar, yoghurt or prepared meal etc (like the things that have already been listed in this thread)... is it sure to be safe to eat on a low carb diet as long as it is low in carbs? or should we be looking at other ingredients also? Could something be low carb, but have certain ingredients in it that will make you stall or gain weight? (if that makes sense).

When you are starting up again, stick to fresh food, lots of eggs, fish, meat, lots and lots of green vegetables, some cheese, butter, olive oil, cream, nuts etc. Try to avoid bars and low carb products until you are sure you know what you are doing and how they affect you.

The main thing to look for when you are reading labels is total carb count. Then look at fibre. Fibre needs to make up a significant part of the carbs or you can't eat it. Also, watch out for sugar in any form, and any form of fake sugar. Don't believe flashes on the front of the packet claiming "Sugar-free" or "No added sugar" or "Low carb".

100% correct, that's the plan in a nutshell

Bear in mind that fibre is usually already subtracted from carbs on UK labels AFAIK.

If anyone has a costco nearby they have 95% pork sausages that are very nice, IIRC 2.2kg for about £5. It was cheaper than supermarkets anyway.

Also they have 1kg of prawns for under £8
9 fillets of smoked peppered mackeral for £3.50
2kg of chicken thigh for £4.50
2 tubs of splenda for under £4

Tesco 8 Wild Alaskan Salmon Fillets 800g
HALF PRICE Was £10.00 Now £5.00 until 20/01/2009

These are Chum Salmon which is only 4% fat, compared to more like 13% for Scottish salmon. If thats a bad thing for your LC plan, add plenty of butter or mayonnaise

Holland and Barrett have 500g bags of sunflower seeds at £2.25, buy one get one free. That works out to about £1 per pound, compared to Tesco which is charging 98p per 100g.
Home ground sunflower seeds make a great substitute for ground almonds for LC baking.
