Little spuds
At one time in a bag of spuds you’d get mostly decent sized ones, now you have to buy those that are labelled “baking potatoes” and pay a premium. Of course, the smaller the spud, the more peel (by weight) in the bag. So pound for £ you get less spud for your money.
Not done much today. Had a run this morning (first since the Great North), taken Meg for a couple of good walks, and rewired the nav lights on the cabin sides. I was advised to remove them or lose them to go through Standedge Tunnel, and had screwed them back on afterwards but not reconnected the wiring. Also organised a Tesco delivery for Bugsworth tomorrow afternoon. That’s it really.

it's not just the size that's changed, for your smaller spud you pay a lot more, we buy bags of potatoes, we payed £3.99 at the end of August, and at the end of September they were £9.99! look out for more price rises towards Christmas. Caroline
Hi Caroline
Unfortunately we haven't the space to store more than 5Kg at a time, so we're already paying a premium!
I think I read somewhere that it's all to do with the weather. Dry weather makes them small, and wet weather gives them blight, so it's a miracle we've got any potatoes at all really!
Hi Adam
These must be spring spuds then. They can't be summer ones, can they!
Hi folks
It has been a rubbish year for a lot of things including spuds. Just lifted four rows of potatoes and you are lucky to have any tennis ball sized.It won't just be the price of spuds going up.
Wagon Wheels and Mars bars are smaller or am I just getting old?.
Maybe a bit of both....
