Aldi & Lidl #7

[ack13]

Oh heck this week I ended up with a free muffin, free focaccia / pizza AND another free item
— — — —
Does anyone know if they have the bakery ingredient list available in the store? I’ve never seen it but also never asked because everyone always looks too busy

Funny story I was eating the goat cheese focaccia (never had one but wanted to try) and I was really enjoying it but then I realised it tasted kind of sweet and I wondered why. I have an allergy to honey so I started to panic because it’s in everything these days. I managed to find a list online of all the ingredients for the bakery items and I wanted to die when I saw honey is in the goats cheese on the bread! Safe to say I didn’t have a very fun afternoon

Haven’t seen anything in store but all the ingredients are on their website

Are they?! I’ve never managed to find them on their website, I just found a PDF somewhere else. Do you have a link? I must be dim to not find them on there.

 

[Carefree]

No I am the dim one, it was the PDF I read. Sorry

Okay yeah you all are right, the pain au double choc is INSANE don’t think I can step foot in Lidl again until they change to something else.

I never got to eat mine!

I might pop in later.

Thanks for the tip about the pickle, got there just as they were opening and they had loads so got 6 jars as I was on the way to the hospital so had to carry it in my rucksack. Will be going back later as the date on it is Nov next year.

Went to buy the perfume this morning about an hour after they openend and they were all there, no gaps in anything. Bought 2 Dark Blossom, 2 Lady Pour Femme and another that was there - Guardian which still smells nice after 4 hours after I sprayed on my wrist.
Confession time - I always use self tills as I hate waiting behind slow packers and people who want to chat to the cashier.
The perfumes were really giving me grief after scanning as they are so light when they go on the other side of the scanned till - it kept saying something like re scan etc and I got so pissed off I asked the assistant to sort it out for me. He did and just scanned 5 together and it came up as I had paid for 3 not 5 on my till receipt - not my fault. Got lots of 30% off food I wanted to buy - best was 500gms of salmon priced at 7.69 - paid 5.38 and now Airfried and in fridge for this weeks meals for 1.

I’ve now made three trips to the further away Lidl for the Madagascan dark chocolate and it is just not there. Not even a label on the shelf today.

Sadness unbound. There is no other dark chocolate in the world that comes close.

Is this it? Don't know where you live but the nearest place in the UK to buy it seems to be Ireland.

I’ve definitely seen this a while ago in my local Lidl in south east England. I’ve been meaning to get some since it was mentioned on here but I keep forgetting. I will report back if I find it!

 

[SharkAttack]

Oh no that looks like they’ve stopped it here (England). Disaster!

Thank you

 

[Chocolategoggler]

Have you seen this?

Lidl shoppers can get more than £100 worth of items for just £20 this week

You'll have to be quick to nab a bargain though!

I've had a thought ......
If one of our Irish compadres can find which store is selling them you could write to the manager asking for him/her to do a good deed and let you buy a job lot.
Failing that you could write the same letter to the manufacturer......

That’s a good idea. My best friend went to Ireland last week argh!

I read somewhere that chocolate prices had gone up globally 47pc - not sure why. I wonder if that’s related.

3 boxes full of the Madagascan dark chocolate in my local Lidl today, in SE England. £1.99

 

[Ravenstown]

I'll check out my Lidl next time I go now I know which chocolate it is. Happy to send you some if they have it.

 

[SharkAttack]

That is so really kind of you @Ravenstown - but @pecan ’s post has given me new hope so I shall sally forth and get to find a new supply!

I have also contacted head office to ask about it so they might sort me out tik

 

[Chocolategoggler]

I found a label on the shelf for it today, but it was filled with Grenedian chocolate by the same make.
I picked up an almond and dark orange chocolate to try from the same make.

ETA. While I was waiting in the queue by the till I couldn't understand why the bloke in front kept turning round and staring at me, until I suddenly realised my bag handle was caressing his backside every time i moved.

 

[Ravenstown]

Let us know how you get on SharkAttack!
