They have always said you should bag on the shelves in the shop but hardly anybody seems to bother and packs into their bags in the trolley. When I lived in Spain almost every packed at the shelves. I don't do a "big" shop as I live on my own that is why I prefer the self serve and the wheely baskets.
I've never seen anyone do it. At my local lidl they've put hooks by the till so it's easier to load your shopping bag

Forgot to add, I found these in Aldi today but didn't pick any up - mojito flavoured tortilla chips! 🤔

I don't fancy these but I do wish they would make the garlic bread ones a permanent flavour. I couldn't get any but went to my friends house and her son was eating a bag and he offered them, they were the best crisps I have had for ages and was tempted to mug him for the rest. (He is only 10 so decided I better not 😬 ). Have read that Aldi have had loads of emails asking them to include them all the time so it might be a maybe.

Last night my Aldi was fully stocked up with pistachio spread and the white hazelnut ones 😳 maybe they’re coming back? Bought some but 10% pistachio??? Do better Aldi. They tasted okay, quite moreish but really sweet

You're not supposed to bag your items at the till in Germany and both Lidl and Aldi are German so... 😅 though they should accommodate to what customers are used to in other countries imo
I've always wondered why they scan so aggressively and give you such little space on the other side of the cashier.

Ze Germans lol

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?
 
Took myself to Aldi nice and early yesterday, first in the queue to grab one of their bamboo bistro sets. Straight in and….none. Managed to grab the manager and he said (sheepishly) oh there were only two of those delivered they must have gone already. Given I was first in and with my husband so we split up I take that to mean the staff had already bought/reserved them as they never made it to the shop floor 😤

yes! I don't remember the last time I saw them in my store, and they don't have any other fruity tea alternatives either

I've had that happen with kids' shoes. Apparently only one pair of blue ones got delivered and all the others were pink... sure...

I'm loving the spicy combo mix multipacks Aldi have been selling recently. I've had to buy 2 a week so we can both take a pack with to work with our lunch 🤣

They're pretty much identical to the M&S versions and £1 cheaper!

I’ve just had the salted ones for my lunch ! I feel like there’s quite a lot in the bag compared to other multipack crisps. My kids refer to these as party crisps so are made up when I put them in their lunch boxes !

Are there any Lidl bakery specials at the moment? Honestly so annoying that they don’t put it anywhere. I guess they just want to get people in store to check.

I've just been in. They had millionaire's shortbread, some kind of chocolate coated croconut looking thing and I didn't see what else, sorry.

They've got really nice Sicilian lemons in the fruit section. My husband cut one open this morning and the scent filled our kitchen - it was so delicious I went back today to stock up and got the last one in the shop.

Highly recommend if you see them.
