I use lidl strong white and strong wholemeal flour all the time and have never had any problems with it.
I also sometimes use Asda and Waitrose Essential own brands of strong bread flours and they work very well.

The worst I tried was Doves, it produced very poor results on a few breads I do often. It was not a batch problem as I complained and they sent me a voucher for more and tried a bit later but produced the same result.

We use a mixture depending on where we are shopping when we need some,Lidl,Aldi,Tesco,Asda, Sainsbury's. Sometimes farmers market. The recent bread making course we did at The Loaf, Andrew the tutor was dismissive of the cheaper shops/brands saying they weren't consistent in their contents,type of wheat,gluten content.

I use whatever is the Best Buy at the time. Usually, it's Asda or Allinson's if it's on offer. For more speciality flours, I have to go to our local Waitrose, which is 25 miles away.

Another vote here for Lidl flour, half the price of some of the branded flours.

Fresh flour!  It should say 🙂

You can buy some good breads but you can knock some up cheaper at home. I know it's time consuming but I love it 🙂
