Aldi have an app with freebies. o_O
You’ve never used the Lidl plus app?!?!? You usually get a free pastry or something for signing up then freebies once you hit £10, £50, £100, £150 then 10% off your next shop if you hit £250. It resets every calendar month so the freebies are different. You also get coupons based on items you buy like 15% off certain items each week. They also give you a scratch card on the app every time you scan and also do wheels that you can win pastries or fruit every so often too. Honestly it’s brilliant!

Sorry you said you had some of the Aldi sweets which you got on the app - which is why I said Aldi have an app.
I know about the Lidl one but don't have a shop near me, Aldi is my local go to.

Oops my fault for reading/replying as I was running out the door, sorry! Bloody names being so similar 🫠. Well my contribution is Lidl sour snakes are brilliant! 🤣

Susie the snake they are
I don't have any Lidls near me, so the Susie snakes are all yours! 🤣

These are the Aldi ones

The cherry flavoured Colins from M&S are my favourites - Aldi used to do cherry gummies, but I've not seen them in my store for ages 😩

Has anyone tried this? Or planning to try this from Aldi. I’m a sucker for caramel in chocolate. I’m addicted to the pretzel chocolate bar and caramel chocolate bar.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I had one on Friday and I was so disappointed. It was really doughy and dry despite the amount of chocolate that dripped out with every bite (obviously I still finished it 🐽). I’ll stick to regular chocolate croissants from now on. In case anyone wants to know the current specials, last Friday there were these, the chocolate flapjacks were back but dipped in chocolate this time and pecan caramel slices. Oh and dulce de leche muffins

Why did Lidl stop updating their bakery web page with the special guests?? 😭 I don’t live nearby anymore and rarely visit so I miss everything because I don’t know what they have in. Pecan caramel slices sound amazing, has anyone tried them?

Yes, pecan, but I was a bit underwhelmed. It was like a millionaire's square but had pecans. Just tasted very sweet.

I want to find the coated in chocolate brownies!!!!!!!!

As may be obvious from my username I am obsessed with pecan nuts so now I feel I need to try it 😆 to be fair moving away from Lidl has been good for me getting away from that bakery but I do miss it. It used to be a 5 minute walk away, dangerous!

Aldi’s hot honey cashews and the mighty yeasty cashew/almonds are so good!

Agree. The one I had just tasted mega sweet and not pecany at all. I didn’t even finish it which never happens!

I also found the pecan overly sweet and lacking any flavour, the shortbread was claggy. Wouldn't buy it again

I went into Aldi for the first time in 20 years on Monday. I bought frozen green beans (love them), reed diffuser almond and macaroon, rice noodles and plum jam. Couldn't manage any more as my feet were too tired but it was a nice change of supermarket scenery!

absolutely agree on this. I had it Saturday morning and I’d actually say it’s the worst thing I’ve had from their bakery. Dry and doughy. I also still ate it but wouldn’t get it again.

@pecan not sure if you venture into the M&S thread but if not then you must try the M&S golden blonde pecans, insanely good.
