Shop bought nibbles query
Discussion
My dad likes to have a small selection of nibbles at 12 noon with a glass of wine before having lunch at 1pm. It used to consist of a couple of olives, a few cashew nuts and various flavoured nibbles that came out of branded packaged bags (similar size to a ground coffee pack). They used to be sold in Tescos and Sainsburys for approx £1.50 a bag and now they're not stocked by them anymore.
He's asked me if I can find him some. He can't remember the brand name and is currently tucking into a few of the Waitrose range - of which their Roka gouda cheese sticks would be an example of what he'd like 1 piece of to have with his 'tiffin'. At a guess there's about 30 in a box so ideally whatever was suggested wouldn't go stale within a few weeks of opening.
Can you help, please?

Not exactly what you're after, but I noticed recently that Lidl had a pretzel/cracker selection pack with each variety in a separate sealed 'compartment', which looked just the right size for one or two.
Perhaps it's a Christmas thing as I don't remember seeing it before. Lidl cheese straws aren't bad either, however 'Lock n Lock' storage containers are the key to these not going stale.

Just looked at their 'savoury selection' and that looks promising - Thanks Mobile Chicane said:

I had a look in both Aldi and Lidl yesterday and did see those. But I thought they might not be quite what he's after.Perhaps it's a Christmas thing as I don't remember seeing it before.

I think you might have hit the nail on the head when you mention the 'Lock n Lock' storage containers - I'll look into those ( as a Christmas present for him
). Currently he uses little clip pegs on existing packaging to stop things going stale.eta the olives are in a jar in the fridge and the cashew nuts are in sealable jar.

I was mildly impressed at sainsburys basics savoury nibble shapes recently - individual pots of snacking goodness.
Today's snack is pistachio nuts - lidl are selling loose salted pistachios from a bag you'd normally see sand / gravel delivered in by forklift!!
I bought the Sainsburys basic snack shapes and they'd be OK at a children or young teenager's party. I've only munched on half the pack - but 2 parts were cheap imitations of mini cheddars, one part was 'iced gem' type size of breadstick and another was teddy bear shape salted cracker.Today's snack is pistachio nuts - lidl are selling loose salted pistachios from a bag you'd normally see sand / gravel delivered in by forklift!!
I will carry on looking
