Has anyone managed to get hold of the Aldi pistachio crème?

Nope, wasn’t in my 2 local stores on Sunday. I did however get passion fruit curd and the new chocolate flapjacks so that’ll console me
Tried the masaman curry kit tonight. I dont think it’s permanent, as haven’t seen it since I bought it a few weeks ago. Had it with with aldis coconut rice, and some veg gyoza from Lidl!
it was really tasty. I also really like the Thai green and red curry kits.!

I always buy my toilet roll from Lidl, 24 pack but this last lot definitely feels different, rougher, thinner..... I'm not happy at all!It might not be the biggest annoyance I will get today but just opened a pack of Aldi softest toilet rolls. They are now 12 double sized rolls instead of 24 so the pack is not so bulky but the damn things will not fit in any of my toilet roll stands and they fall off the radiator when I try to balance them on there so now stuck with the rolls on the floor. Getting on my nerves already.
My local had them yesterday. I think they must have just stocked that morning as there were full boxes with all 3 flavours. Located on the Christmas foods aisle - which in my store is opposite all of the biscuits / chocolates.
I have to admit I had to really look closely because you’d almost miss them. They don’t stand out at all.
Is there a way out of Lidl when you don't buy anything? I went in yesterday, they didn't have what I wanted so I tried to go through an empty checkout - no luck - gate wasn't for budging. The 2 checkouts in operation were in full flow with long queues and I didn't fancy trying to squeeze past all those trolleys, so I went back to the entrance, waited for someone to enter, and walked out that way ... and the alarms went off. 
Music update if anyone's interested 
My Lidl has put the music back on with something that resembles a 'Lidl Heart fm' mix with 20 year old hits from Texas, Black eyes Peas and George Michael interwoven with Xmas songs

Kidding lol. Depends on Lidl I think. Some have self service check outs so that's the best way unless it's one where they introduced the gates with receipt scanning. Or I'd just squeeze past people in an open till queue.
If I'm feeling particularly socially awkward that day I'd just buy something to avoid the whole situation but that's just me

In ours you can walk through the self checkouts.Is there a way out of Lidl when you don't buy anything?

As demonstrated by 2 drug users/ alcoholics who were shoplifting armfuls of beef roasting joints last week, you can also seemingly walk out via the entrance even if no ones coming in, by pushing slightly on the gates.
Mind you, I did check umpteen times to make sure I hadn't picked something else up and forgotten about it. Then I made a big point of looking up at the cameras with outstretched open palms, pantomime shrugging shoulders and what I hope was an innocent looking face. No self-serve checkouts in that particular store to sneak through, unforch.Anyway ... no cops at the door yet so I must've got away with it, but gotta say, this bottle of Prosecco that must've fallen into the hood of the child's buggy is rather delish. Hic!
My local store have installed the receipt needing barriers this week. Very rarely I’ll go in there and not buy anything but I’ll be doing the same on those rare occasions!

I went in recently to drop a child's present off in one of the charity bins, only you can't. I had to do a circuit of the store and had put it back in my bag. Even though I picked up a few items and went through the till I was sweating that the security guard would have pounced on me on the way out.Is there a way out of Lidl when you don't buy anything?

Next time I'll try not to do it when I'm tired and see if I can see the security guard and ask him to put it in the charity bin. He'll probably say no though.
This is my stress with my local Lidl too, we don’t have self service so can’t pass through there so just have to ask people in the queue if they’ll let me squeeze past which is enough to put me off going tbhIs there a way out of Lidl when you don't buy anything?

I got stopped by security in Aldi a couple of months ago and he was shouting at me to come back in the shop as the alarm had gone off - I couldn't get past the people coming out so he continued to shout at me, it was so embarrasing as everybody at the checkouts were looking at me. When I got back in he accused me of stealing half a bottle of vodka and some tuna and was raising his voice at me to get them out of my bag. The man who works the self serve came running up and apologised to me and told him it was ok but the security guard just walked off and never said a word. The manger said that the security guy was new and he apologised and I told him if I was going shoplifting I would do in Marks and Spencers down the road. Not seen the security guard since and can only hope he got sacked.
Had the tempura tofu bites in sweet and sour sauce as part of my birthday fakeaway, absolutely delicious
Are they fridge or freezer?
Freezer. There are three flavours, the tempura, hot and spicy and southern fried.
Have Lidl stopped doing bakery specials now? Haven’t been in for ages so I wasn’t sure, website hasn’t shown anything for a while.
