Aldi & Lidl #9

I bought these yesterday and live alone. There are none left today. So it's both a recommendation and a warning.

Aldi’s social media team are too good - bet Lidl aren’t impressed!

There isn’t any weed burners near us but you’ve got me interested! Are they at getting rid of weeds as it seems to be constant battle on our drive

They are not bad. Just make sure you pay attention where you are pointing the flame so you don’t set your fence on fire like I definitely didn’t

Just bought 8 balls of yarn in the middle aisle despite having had a sack of yarn delivered this week - ah well could be drugs

Not my photo but I bought the top left one. Oh my word, what a lovely treat. It's a big bar, 200g, and was £2.89, I think, yet would happily recommend. Good thickness of chocolate on it, delicious filling and just enough sweetness without being overwhelmingly so.

My late husband used to like baking and bought a Kenwood with all the bells and whistles and used it for a few years until our son "borrowed" it to do a couple of weddings for friends. It never came back so hubby bought the £40 Aldi one and said although it didn't do all the tricks the Kenwood one did it was a brilliant machine and good value.
After he died last year I gave it to a single mum neighbour who loves baking and said this Aldi one is still going great.

These are from Aldi and come with a warning. Do not buy as they're delicious and very moreish. The packaging says it has 6 servings but that's a lie.

I told off a woman in my local Lidl once because I noticed that she had let her toddler pick up a baguette and drop it on the floor and then the woman picked it up and put it back on the shelf
I said "Oy! You can't put that back, you need to buy it now you've touched it and it's been on the floor"
She looked shocked but she put the baguette in her basket

Update on the tiramisu trifle:
If you live in NW London, don't bother buying this. It is definitely terrible and you should avoid it at all costs, but also please post which store you saw it at, and Mr Duck and I will remove it for you...

I will be very surprised if the one in our fridge lasts to Christmas Eve

 

[Toffee finger]

OMG they’re back!!!!!

I got the Lacura advent calendar for a tenner today. It's got a primer, eyeliner, mascara, setting spray, a couple of lip oils, a blush and a highlighter in it. Can't complain for a tenner!

Well l am absolutely thrilled to bits l bought the last 3Deans shortbread biscuits in the store .
They look gorgeous and l am going to wrap them up with a throw from Asda and give them to my Mum's fellow residents who don't have any family to buy them anything

Well whenever I have visited, I always see mainly children, but not exclusively, manhandling the pastries. You could not pay me to eat them.

also the crumpets I had from there were inedible, tasted soapy

Have you a photo of the flamingo please, my online search = poor result.

Here he is

Please excuse my garden!

Shout out to the MVP Mr Duck who got the last tiramisu trifle on the shelf

Are we going to open it today? Obviously - what if it's terrible and ruins our Christmas? Best to it test now

Just to clear up some confusion! It’s not seasoning for bagels! There’s a variety of bagel called an “everything bagel” that is seasoned with seeds, onion and garlic. This “everything but the bagel” seasoning is inspired by that. It’s not necessarily intended for use on bagels but anywhere that might benefit from that particular flavour profile

The new system is rubbish.
The only reason I shopped in Lidl regularly was because of the rewards. I loved meeting the little targets through the month.
aldi is closer to me so can see me heading there more regularly now
