Aldi & Lidl #9

[Sheeeet]

Read that as Gwan Prawn and thought, yeah, you go prawn! Be your beautiful self! Not even touched the bottle of Atlantique in the fridge door yet, so no excuses.

Every time I read "you go, girl" it reminds me of this (and I love it)

ETA on topic, the limited edition Garlic Bread crisps for Italian week in Aldi are amazing and it's for the best if I can never buy them again

I've made Hugh Fearnley-Whittenhairspunky's scones too and they're very nice, Made with double cream rather than buttermilk.

I'm excited I can get vegan ice cream in Aldi for four weeks thanks to veganuary!

 

[Ravenstown]

How funny! Really interesting to see thanks!

It's very M&S Sparks revamp sounding. I will always prefer discounts rather than this kind of malarkey.

I've had these in the cupboard for ages and finally got around to serving them up. Everyone really enjoyed them. No doubt they'll never appear in store again!.

OMG this is basically Creme Egg filling, in a jar

There's a Mini Eggs one as well.

There's something incredibly unappetising about the vaguely named 'Gooey Spread'

Friend went to Aldi early this morning and there were queues of people waiting for empty trollies
I went at 4.30, did my shopping, checked out at empty belt and was out at 10 to 5.
Got the champagne, thanks for the recommendation.

I’m generally a dark chocolate fan, enjoy milk and white would be last on the list. I like it but would never look for it. But this is PHENOMENAL.

Concept Dairy on Instagram are very hot on the palm oil issue as well. Over the festive period, they had a lot of alternatives for the rank chocolate "tins" and oddly enough, Toblerone came up as an alternative to the pap ones.

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

I am going to have stop going I think cos would you believe this happened again this week!

Lidl are doing really nice Strawberries, 1kg crate for just over £5, great value as their small 227g tubs are around £2.40.
Will be eating them for days

These are nice, £3.49 Aldi frozen section
(already sampled)

Did you know you can check in store stock levels of special buys via the aldi app? Don’t know how accurate it is but I’ve regularly trawled round stores looking for something to find it’s out of stock everywhere

I bought an Oakhurst Chicken Breast joint with a sell by date of April 25 but due to things that were happening I put it in the freezer. I am now doing a sort out and found it so let it defrost then did an airfryer roast. It was lovely and moist and I don't care about the sell by dates as long as the food is good.

Just had the red velvet brownie from Lidl bakery (yes I had cake for breakfast ) and it was very nice

 

[Pesky Tarian]

Excited for Italian week at lidl. The fennel sausages are so good.

Popped in yesterday bought an almond croissant, then got a spin to win..won an almond croissant .

I have been such a staunch advocate of the Lidl app for years and now I feel confused

 

[Miss Ophelia]

I also have to avoid Palm Oil but it is in lots of things I Bought Son Lindt chocolate for Christmas and even that had it in crazy what it is in.

I work in another supermarket and I see so many kids rubbing their hands on food in the hot counter display to warm their hands (parents are next to them not minding) or fondling the loose fruit and veg. Ive seen the odd fly on our Lidl bakery shelves but thats to be expected with uncovered foods. It does make you think twice about buying loose uncovered things in shops.
