This is 500g of pizza herbs. I bought it from Approved Food for £8.50 and I will use it long before the expiry date of March next year. I use Italian herbs a lot, often instead of mixed herbs. I did the right thing and checked with Tesco. Tesco sell Italian herbs, roughly the same thing, at 70p for a little bottle (one of which I will be re-using for everyday use while the rest of the big bag is carefully sealed away). 500g of Tesco Italian herbs would cost £27. This is definitely a bargain - right?
The same packet - exactly the same - is on sale on Amazon. It is £4.05 at time of typing. But it gets better. If I added it to my subscribe and save order, I could get it at £3.44 for 500g (if you have subscribe and save and have more than 5 items in a month, you get 15% off).
I'm not sure exactly how much I would use of this per month, but I know I pick up a jar of Italian herbs from Tesco most weeks, and I'm getting back to cooking properly. Bear is also keen and as he will be making pizza at school (heaven help me!) I'm sure he will want to practice a lot at home. I will wait and see what the quality is like.
It just goes to show, you need to keep your wits about you. I don't think I can justify this quantity with any other herb or spice, but if it works out as having a good flavour and keeping quality, it may be worth considering. If I come to a decision, I'll share.
