Have the cinnamon knot biscuits disappeared from Aldi again? I saw them when the Christmas food first started appearing weeks ago but I didn’t get them, assuming I’d be able to get them when I did a proper shop for Christmas bits. I haven’t seen any since! 🤦🏻‍♀️ did I mess up and miss my chance?

Whoever suggested bacon in cheesy hot cross buns - it is great! Admittedly that may have been on the M&S thread, but my hot cross buns were from Lidl...

I cannot champion this at all..... I did not enjoy it at all, total waste of bacon IMO.

Has anyone seen this gooey egg/cream egg spread in Aldi yet? Ive seen it on facebook and tiktok that its out and Aldi website says my local store has availability but nope.. not even an empty space with a label in my store. Im desperate to try it but dont want to keep going to check, also dont want to not check then find its all sold out anyway!
Im going to go back thursday to do a fruit top up and hope they might have it then 😋

I visited Aldi and no sign of the pickle dip. Just its tag but maybe it'll be in the next delivery? This better not become the new frozen frickles though.

Did get the everything bagel seasoning and will compare to the M&S one in due course. However, there are two types they're stocking. One is black pepper and the other is a spicy version. Think it may be chili based?

My aldi had 3 versions. Normal, black pepper and chilli

The Caramel Suisse is possibly the most disgusting thing I’ve ever had from Lidl bakery 🤢 the caramel filling had the texture of set slime and the pastry was rubbery. Vile.

I just came here to say I tried the caramel suisse morning and I thought it was alright 😅 the outer layers of pastry were crisp and flaky and I thought the caramel was just like a regular gooey caramel texture 🤷🏽‍♀️ certainly had worse things.

Went to Aldi today and they still have some USA items. Presumably they're having a longer run of some lines? But decided against the frickles and then ended up having some from Slim Chickens with dinner. Now I did like the Aldi ones but think the latter may end up being a bit of an obsession. Thin and crispy and automatically comes with ranch sauce 🤤 🤤 🤤

Danke. I know an American friend of mine is always amused by what we get for their week.
Click to expand...
Bitte 😊

What do you get for American week?

Here it's peanut butter, burger/ hot dog buns, hot dog sausages, pizza, brownies, and random sweets usually. All of these things are available all year round as well, though, so idk why they bother.

Well, it was worth it and it stretched to two meals as I couldn't eat it all. The chicken just melted in the mouth.😋
I've just had an Aldi curry and checked the instructions to find it serves 2, but I've always eaten it all when I've had it.🤭🐖

I always ate the Aldi ones myself, never thought they served 2.

I bought the scones with ham and cheese and they were absolutely delicious 😋
So were the prawn selection starters and the pork and cranberry pork pies .
I bought the frozen festive Christmas dinner pies and they were lovely. All Aldi .
Our fresh turkey from Tesco was only £12 but it was definitely much nicer than the frozen turkey crown we bought from Aldi though.

Or maybe supermarkets should just stock more if there's a demand for it?

One of the staff told me they can only stock the shelf with what they get. This s.f.jelly thing has come out of nowhere so don't suppose they could anticipating that kind of demand.
