Cheapest place to get pine nuts

Layinghen · 2013-04-15 10:07:34

The title says it all. I know they are available in Dunnes and Tescos and understand why they are so much more expensive than other nuts and seeds but I wonder if anybody knows if there is anywhere where they are less expensive. Times are tough!

Either aldi or lidl had them recently but they weren't very nice.
If using them for pesto, I've found other nuts work well too - notably Brazil nuts or cashews.

The Shamrock branded ones work well and are about €3/€4 a bag. I get them at Supervalue.

Tesco's own brand in the baking section rather than the wholefood section is the cheapest I've seen I think.
