Aldi & Lidl #8

[Dontmindme]

Picked these up from Lidl from the Italian week range. Absolutely delicious! Very similar to the chocolate caramelised cashews from M&S but in bar form. Hopefully still have them next time I’m in!

I was considering the double air fryer from Aldi. I already own a mini one from there that I bought in Jan 2024 and I’m happy with it, but wouldn’t mind a 2 drawer. Anyway, the dimensions are neither on the website or on the box, so I had to go into store with a measuring tape and guesstimate once all the polystyrene is removed. Why would they do that?!
Unfortunately, it’s too tall for my kitchen counter

I've just had a new air fryer from Asda, the brand is scoville. I would recommend it highly, even over my ninja that died.

And then piss on their feet.

too far?

This should be the 1st rule if engagement, they'd soon shift their idle chit chat elsewhere.
I'd not stand for rude buggers like that, the first encounter of not shifting not pissing on their feet.

I bagged some Aldi VitC serum which I'm really liking, smell is nice IMO so hoping to get more. It'll all be gone now won't it!

I love the dark choc ones of these, I scoffed the whole bag in about 2 days

I’m going to have to get along to Lidl ASAP and stock up on the nduja, only got one last time and regretted it. Love Italian week!

No one needs 6 hot air weed killers, that's just rude.

Probably be on fb market place tomorrow.

if that's the Aldi Halloween cereal I think they do a ball version of it all year round! 🫣 haven't tried either so not 100% sure they're the same but I've seen them near the caramelised biscuit/biscoff version that I'm obsessed with

This is not information I needed especially that there's a biscoff version! I'm never going to eat a vegetable again at this rate

Lidl now do a granola version of Kellogs chocolate & hazelnut crunchy nut granola at half the price. It tastes very similar

I was a happy bunny in Aldi today, only went in to get Flushable Toilet Wet wipes which I have bought before but never looked at the price until they came up at 43p for 40 when I scanned them, thought it must be wrong so went back and yes it was right. Everywhere else they are over £1 - I bought them because I am going on a coach holiday next week for 10 days to Europe (yes I am an old fart ) What a bargain.
But the best bit was they had some Bilash curries which they were out of stock of earlier this week which are in date until until Sunday - I am having Prawn Curry on Friday just before I go on another coach trip and having Panner Curry when I come home on Sunday from Blackpool Iluminations.
If you like Rose - I bought a bottle of Chapter and Verse Rose - South Eastern Australian - £4.89 in Wales, don't know if it is any different in England but I rate it better than the Angel Falls. IMO

I tried the frickles....you guys are weird

Picked these up in Lidl this afternoon, they are delicious! I’ve eaten three of them already (they are small so it’s fine )

Did it give off much scent? I bought one of those giant chocolate orange candles the other week and i actually want to eat it I’ve always been disappointed with their candles previously.

I've heard that a few times over different threads that people find the Aldi candles hit or miss, but I have had good luck with them. I usually go for the medium sized glass ones and they always seem to have a good throw, but our flat isn't massive, so that probably helps The pumpkin pie one I got a month or so ago was lush! I was hoping they were going to do the pumpkin spice wax melts again this year because they were good too (although I have way too many wax melts, so it's probably a good thing they didn't come back this year )

We have recently moved house and are now near an Aldi (where previously we had a Lidl) and I'm really disappointed with it. They just don't seem to have the nice things that Lidl had.

Am hoping to see some inspo on this thread (and I'm not talking about frickin Frickles! )

I am so annoyed - I agreed to wait in for BT Engineer to do whatever he has to do with the new phone stuff etc. as I wasn't doing anything else but now I have to go Aldi for these crisps. Bugger. Hope he comes early.

Don't hold out much hope. I discovered the last bag mixed in with a load of other crisps.
Good luck!
No sign of any in Lidl.
Also Lidl's tills are going a bit funny. Wanted to charge me over £100 for a very small shop. Turned out it had charged me 49 times for one item. It's also not registering that you've been there so ask for a receipt to cover yourself.

Someone tried to teach me a basic stitch a few months ago and I couldn’t even manage that yet here I am thinking I can make a scarf

 

[Mamacita]

It'd strange to me as i genuinely find the core products are pretty much the same in aldi and lidl. Definitely not noticed one having more processed good vs another having less? Some things are better in aldi, some in lidl but it's all not that much different to me.
Lidl definitely wins on the food special weeks and aldi has better other special buys imo (at least ones that are more interesting to me )

 

[fashionfoodlaughs]

I find the Aldi candles and diffusers really good, never had a duff one. Lidl ones have always been useless for me though…

 

[kev1974]

Does this appeal to you?

Get back to me when they bring a proper German currywurst sauce version over here.

I got Mr Duck to wake me up at 6am, but then decided going to Aldi at 7am was crazy, so stayed in bed with the cat and caught up on Grey's Anatomy

I'm so glad I did, because I just went down there during my lunch break to find not a single candle anywhere There weren't even any empty bins where it looked like the staff just hadn't put them out yet, all of the specialbuy bins were full, just not with candles I would have been so pissed if I'd had got there for 7, only to find pajamas, Chrismas jumpers and slippers

I'm the complete opposite, I hate the rolling baskets!

I'd prefer a mini trolley to a rolling basket any day. It might just be my area, but people leave them haphazardly in the aisles and I'm constantly having to step over them/ask people to move them (you're usually given a dirty look and a tut, so I'm used to just stepping over them at this point )

Yeah same! The shallow trolleys are best. I hardly ever have a gizmo or a pound tho, which is infuriating. My fault entirely tho. I'm so pleased when I spot one in the wild lol
