Speaking of ice cream, has anyone had these from Aldi and are they a good Magnum dupe? For some reason Magnum double caramel are only available in Asda now??? Which is the one supermarket we don’t have in my town.

I picked these up today. I wasn't expecting them to be so small! 😅
Tesco have the mini Magnum ones, £5 for 6x55g

These? I eat at least a packet a day when I'm in Finland. If it wasn't so far from payday I'd be going around and emptying the North East Lidl's of them.

DELICIOUS. £1.99 a packet.

Immediately I pop on in my mouth they remind me of another similar treat, Mr2 says the same then... sensation is gone.
It's bugging us both what that might be....anyone else?

They are very nice.

This sounds interesting if hot cross buns are your thing. I wonder if it'll end up going viral though, and no-one will be able to get hold of them.

This sounds fun but I have a daft question. 😅 Don’t they have to put the ingredients on the packet so that people can check for allergens and such? Doesn’t that reveal the flavour?

I always return items to both stores if I've any issues & there has never once been a quabble regarding my reason, all very genuine.

Anyone used the foundation from Aldi? I’ve been tempted but not sure what the coverage will be like

To be honest it wouldn't be worth the drive . But I have heard that they are good at customer service so would have done if the store was closer to me

I bought some last week! It’s nice but I don’t think it covers as well as my usuals Rimmel or Revlon. It’s illuminating though, I’m considering trying half and half with my usual for a better finish. I am in my mid-40s though so have many imperfections that need hiding!

I think it’s very nice but like you say not much coverage (also 40’s with imperfections!) I mixed it with my Nars today and it was lovely, really glowy. Going to try and grab some more tomorrow.

I also tried the mascara for the first time and I really like it, I usually use benefit (or L’Oréal lash paradise if im skint) but think im converted

I don't know what Lidl have done to their chocolate digestives but they've gone from being better than McVities to inedible. It's been a while since I last bought them so not entirely sure when they changed, but I had a bad feeling as soon as I saw the packaging was different. They're now like chewing a lump of concrete - rock solid and tasteless.

I know it's such a small life problem, but I'm so sick of everything continually getting bleeper.

I feel like this about Lidl. I used to love their copy of Fruit & Fibre cereal as it had much more dried fruits etc in it than the Kellogg’s one. I bought some the other day and it’s basically a box of Bran Flakes with about two raisins in it.

I used to go to Lidl largely as a foodie, because they had so much good stuff. But they’ve stopped selling my fave Madagascan dark chocolate, the cereal’s tit, and it all just feels really crap now.

I still go for basics because price wise it is much better than the rest. But it’s not the fun treasure trove of delicious good quality stuff it was a couple of years ago.
