I don't want to get into an argument with you. I was talking about my experience. I used to do a full shop at Aldi, but it's getting less and less as the quality of the food gets worse.
I'm buying more from Lidl which was my least favourite shop previously.
I want to eat real food now which means I have to make it myself. 😁
I'm just so happy that I've found a recipe mum used to make for us as children which we adored. Turns out it was chowder. 😋

I don't want to get into any argument about this with anyone, I'm genuinely asking what makes aldi more full of UPFs than lidl since i think of them as having pretty equivalent products and very similar stuff overall 😅

I don't think they're any worse than most other Supermarkets. Al of them tailor their products to the area demography. That's just good business sense.

There was a crap tonne of wool in my local store. Also some nice pet bits, I picked up a snuffle mat for £3 which my cat is loving.

Octoberfest has started but there doesn’t seem to be any of the beer crisps 🙁

Mine had the crisps today, but on the middle aisle, not with the other crisps

I think so. It's definitely in the Whispering Angel style but without the costs. Fairly sure it was flagged up as a dupe which is why I tried it in the first place.

I was going to ask is it the Whispering Angle dupe they had last year - if so I liked it and will have to take my trolley for my Christmas stock up.
Is it a Thursday thing do you know? All I can find is Offers of the Week then when I click on it it say - not available at the moment. Was in in your Aldi today.

Whispering Angel, £17

Aldi dupe: Chassaux Et Fils Atlantique Rosé, £4.99. Or Aldi's Sainte Victoire Provence Rosé, £12.49.

From a Mirror article, there seems to be two dupes and I don't think the Saint one is available in the branch closest to me. They seem to do the weekly wine deal every week but because Lidl is bigger and closer, I'm less frequently in Aldi.

I will have to take a plastic glass with me and just buy one bottle and take it outside to taste it to see if it is the one I like :D I have to go on the bus hence the trolley.

Plastic glass? You must be proper posh, I just chug it in the car park before going back in to try more 🤣🤣🤣

It's delicious, but you'll need a corkscrew too 😀

Yes I do, had a small glass with lunch to see if it was OK :D There was a limit of 2 so I bought them and when I got home my said neighbour came and asked if I wanted anything from Aldi so showed her a screen shot of the wine and asked if she would bring me 2 - for Christmas you understand. She has just come back with them and said there is only about 10 left in the basket and there is no more. :(
