Aldi & Lidl #8

[pecan]

I picked up some of the Aldi frozen almond croissants. Haven’t tried them yet. I love an almond croissant.
pret do the best ones, but they’re an occasional treat, cos they’re expensive!

I think the Aldi almond ones are pretty good for the price! I enjoyed them anyway. The other flavour, chocolate hazelnut I think? is gross and perfumey imo

 

[Carefree]

I wish Aldi would bring back online shopping

Yes! I miss their specialbuys, especially as my nearest ones are all little branches so the big items are never available

Have Aldi stopped selling the cookie dough bites? I can't find them and now they don't even seem to have the other two that are sold from the same box (rocky road and can't remember the other)

I’m not a huge fan of either and I don’t think the prices are great anymore, but I prefer Aldi over Lidl. There’s not much I like in Lidl apart from their sparkling water, coleslaw, ground coffee and ice cream cones. I hate the Lidl app. Aldi’s tannoy is really annoying loud, it’s such an unpleasant shopping experience.

Yeah, it's the shredded wheat looking stuff in the middle of the Dubai bars that are not selling it to me

That texture is making me feel a bit ick but clearly working for someone out there

You can always get the beauty bits on Vinted too. Some sellers add loads of money from the original price but there is some who don’t.

Yes, there are a few nice ones out there on vinted! I managed to stock up on their Tumeric and Vitimin C face oil.

Some go completely overboard on their prices but if you spend a few mins hunting you can usually find a more reasonable price!

Do you work for the Irish tourist board as you’ve made me want to visit

I would highly recommend the place for these reasons and the others previously mentioned.

Has anyone else had problems getting Aldi berry fruits teabags? The 40 bag box not the smaller ones. Every time I go there is tons of every flavour except berry. It’s still on the label.

It's usually the exact opposite problem at ours - 2 boxes full of berry fruits, maybe a couple of the red ones and none of the chamomile unless you get there as soon as they unload the new stock. It's been far more even the last couple of weeks so I wonder if they've changed the quantities they're producing or sending?

Does Lidl do any nice vegetarian wraps/sandwiches?

 

[louderforthecheapseats]

Lidl have a lemon cheesecake protein yogurt - it's Graham's brand. They are really nice, I think there are 3 different flavours in total.

I think I need to have a look in Lidl at their protein stuff

 

[Chocolategoggler]

Did anyone get the Dubai chocolate from Lidl? Was only on their Tik Tok, thought it may have been in some stores

Home Bargains ones are going to be in-store apparently.

 

[Chocolategoggler]

I got the recommended Wotsits multipack from Lidl but they weren't Lidl's own but Walkers. They didn't do any others. Not sure if these were the ones you were recommending. They were £2.99.

 

[Very traditional]

Has anyone seen (or bought) the lemon pesto in Aldi from the Italian special buys? I really fancy it but haven’t been successful yet

Thanks xxx Well I'm jealous of you in North Dublin..


I may have to venture over to the Northside

These are the Electrolytes I'm looking for but the guy in Aldi was lookin at me like I was askin had he any heroin or something He hadn't s clue .. It could have been a UK account I screenshot it off in fairness

Aren't the other ones the same size just by the tills? The summer fruits/apple and black?

 

[Tangent Tiger]

Does Lidl do any nice vegetarian wraps/sandwiches?

The answer to that was: no!
It's the first time I've been near to an Aldi in years, do they do fruit + veg boxes like Lidl?

 

[rivermonster]

Does anyone know if Lidl sell a sugar free jam please. Read that "maybe" they did but don't want to make a bus journey if they don't.

 

[missaustraliaaddict]

My Aldi had some nice candles in today. My daughter is a bit too old now for the wooden toys but I could never get them in any of the Aldis around me anyway

Gang what do we think to the cheesy pretzels in Lidl? I think they’re quite nice but I’m curious of other opinions.

Re. Aldi or Lidl being ‘better’, when I shopped at Lidl for main shop I was forever throwing away fresh produce. I don’t get that with Aldi, so that’s what I prefer of the two. But to be honest I think it was a storage issue as opposed to anything else!

I find the opposite with produce now especially fruit! I think it really does depend on storage and logistics in a particular store.

I prefer Lidl for the bakery but Aldi for the general shop

I wonder if it comes down to where you started ? I starred with Aldi and found Lidl confusing for ages

Yeah i think a big part is what you're used to. I lived next to lidl before then moved near an aldi and really didnt like it. After years of aldi i don't like lidl as much now

 

[Boogs]

I’m an Aldi girl and get a bit lost and confused in Lidl. I’ve seen people running out of Lidl with bottles of spirits or paying for them with pennies. If it had self serve I may go there more. The Aldi across the road never seems to have these issues.

Off to 'the big Lidl' in the next town later. Any must haves?
