Half successful shop, stocked up on some faves. But still no sign of the peas or mochi in my local Aldi (nore gaps where they had been) :(

Weird how the same sized shops in the same area vary what they stock

So annoying - the French lentils are gone for months now and there are only milk choc buttons at my Aldi and I only eat dark choc. The Mosur Roth dark choc bars are nice though.

This stuff is gorgeous pick it up if you see it - I wish I bought a few of them as I got this three weeks ago and haven’t seen it since. I opened it so you can see the colour - it’s black rose extract with nyacinamide and shea butter. Sinks straight in to the skin - non greasy - slight rose fragrance. Divine.

Well, I’ll tell you what it isn’t- it’s not thick, heavy, night cream-like. It’s light and fresh and sinks right in. I like a very light day cream so this is very nice - non-comodegenic texture. It doesn’t have spf, though, so you need an spf primer underneath your foundation or over the day cream. A lovely primer is Sculpted by Aimee Connolly Beauty Base - it’s a highlighting primer with a whopping spf 30 - I absolutely love it.

They had loads of the French lentils at mine. What do you have them with?

I love them as a side with lamb and a beetroot and goats cheese salad or the minty pea salad described above. I also used to add them to casseroles during the winter. Alas, no more.
 
I like French lentils (are they Puy lentils) with roasted vegetables and if the lentils are hot, stir in some creme fraiche, I do that when I cook them from scratch. Not tried the already cooked ones mentioned.
 
Ive been trying to get this for a while. Finally got it. Its delicious! Was a special buy in my store not stocked next to the other jarred spreads.
omg this looks amazing but I cannot bring myself to buy this, living alone and having this in the cupboard would be a recipe for disaster!!!

Maybe it's a pipe dream of finding the holy grail of an Aldi that has every good product :( 😆

I'm down to my last bag of peas 😬

I have it on good authority that aldi are hot on what sells and what doesn't in every store. Hence why some stores stock different things to others. It's why you see 2 different flavours/varieties on the shelf where one has plenty and the other only a couple of items 😉

I used to get a click and collect order from Asda and then sometimes top up at Aldi for a variety, but as of last week I’ve started doing my main shop at Aldi. It’s been the first week for a while that I’ve not actually had to go out and do a top up, because they had everything I was hoping to get from there and good dates.

I’m actually excited to go and do the shop again in a couple of days which is quite sad really 😂

I’m only on page 4 but love this thread . I lived in Germany 25 years ago and Aldi and Lidl were next door to each other - bliss !
My closet shop is a Lidl and I buy most foods from there, I feel weirded out going to a big supermarket now, so much ready made stuff 😳

the creamy yoghurts from both stores with various fruits chopped up and nuts from Lidl are my breakfast staple .
I love the middle isles .

The white choc bailey's style drink is back in at Aldi if anyone enjoyed that at xmas!!

I don't think I fancy these mochi everyones raving about.
Thank god it's not just me. I like mochi itself, but not these mochi ice creams. Not good.

I assume the £46 was just on the peas? :LOL: :LOL:
Errr 2 packs of peas, some of the vegan salted caramel fake magnums, a packet of the leo lions (percy pigs) packet of those salt and chardonnay vinegar crisps, sour dough, some of the salted caramel chocolate, the sweety drop peppers, the chicken and mango pizza 😂😭 consider myself influenced.

Oh also the little puff pastry cheese twists are amazing.
