I've found some Frickles! Only one box, though, and I've been looking FREQUENTLY. They were hidden amongst the tempura tofu and tempura vegetables, with no shelf label. I almost hope they're horrible as I'm doubtful I'll find any more!

Looking at the Aldi online leaflet for this week and they're going to be doing another American theme which is including some... interesting crisp flavours.

Corn on the cob flavour and hot dog & onion flavour... 🤢

I've taken photos of Lidl's "American" range before and sent them to a friend in New Jersey. She was baffled but also a tiny bit offended 🤣

Has Lidl got any bakery specials on atm? I have to keep asking here because I’m useless and can’t find anything online. They used to have a webpage they updated. I haven’t been in the store since I moved house, need a good reason!

I got Millionaire's shortbread earlier in the week, don't know if it was good as bought for husband and kids. I think they also had little banana loaf cakes and chocolate and hazelnut pain au chocolat.

I've now been to three different Aldis, all in North/West London, and not even a sniff of the frickles 😔

Did get another Jamaican beef patty though. Currently my favourite item there.

Can also confirm that NW London is frickle-less

The Aldi gods are not pleased with us 😔

I might try the Camden one in the near future or maybe the Finchley Road one but if I hit 5 with no success, I'm going to be fuming 🥲

Camden does not even have a label on the shelf for frickles 😭
I've not been to the Finchley Road in over a year (mainly because I hate the c11 bus :ROFLMAO:) but fingers crossed they have some!

My mum is near Swiss Cottage (👀) so I may need to take her out for lunch and then go to Aldi 🤣

The 316 is the one bus I hate. Takes me from my house to part of where I've needed to be but it's a bloody nightmare.

The frickles are good - would definitely buy again, but they're not so amazing that I'll be devastated not to find any more. They're very vinegary and the pickle itself was quite crunchy - McDonald's gherkins are my ultimate pickle, so I prefer them a bit softer and sweeter. The batter crisped up really nicely. You don't get many in a box, so if you spot them and think you'll like them, buy multiple!

Not jealous at all that you got a box 🤣🤣

My joy of going into Aldi and seeing the label for frickles in the freezer only to find it was all tempura tofu. Best believe I looked through all the boxes to make sure none were being concealed 😂

I rummaged through every box of tempura veg this evening, where the frickles sign was.. and eventually left with these instead.

aldi spinach and ricotta tortellini - absolute muck (and I’m really not picky). Possibly the worst thing I’ve ever put in my mouth

Was influenced by everyone here, so went to look for frickles in my local Aldi. There wasn’t any in :( the label for it is there though !

Label is there in my local too but the freezer is completely empty of everything every time I go.
Very odd.
