The Aldi Ballycastle mince pies are divine. Had one with my Baileys coffee as a mid morning treat and they'll have to be bought again.

They were like these in different flavours
Ooh, I like the Anthony Berg's! Think I used to get the plum one in Home Bargains for £1.99. Haven't seen them for years except expensively online.

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?
Lidl do them also this year, and Coop have GIANT ones!!

I got some of the mini marzipan bars for me as a little treat. I think they are 122 calories for 2 mini bars which is just right for me. Ive not had marzipan for blinking ages! Ive got 2 bags for life with christmas snacks in, when do I crack into it?! Has anyone else got a stash they are saving and have a time line of when the special "christmas food" is allowed to be eaten?

I cracked mine open when I got home. Had a Jamaican mince pie and lobster crisps so far.
I was too busy to have lunch so count them as minus calories. 😁

I’m currently in America and curiosity got the better of me and I nipped into an Aldi I was passing. Grabbed these and I now need to go back and buy multiple to take home. Why don’t they do such deliciousness in the uk?!?!

I've just been dithering over them or the Jamaican rum ones. I went for the rum ones.
I'm going to visit Aldi again this week and look for these rum ones.

Currently waiting for the cinnamon bun pudding to warm through but it smells beautiful.

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!

So I picked up the rum mince pies and realised that I'd never seen them before in the branch normally visited. Camden has a much better variety of Christmas lines than the Kilburn branch.

£5 off a £40 spend in today’s Lidl app advent calender. Doesn’t include booze, but valid for 3 days.

I think the frickle days are gone. I spotted 1 lonely near torn packet in the freezer, it looked out of place. I snapped it up. Still love them.

I always forget I have the Lidl app until it's too late, ie out the door forgot to scan or check etc. I really wish Aldi would do something similar, just throw us a bone Aldi I shop your store enough :ROFLMAO:
