Aldi & Lidl #9

[Daisy Uncle]

I was very very sceptical but it’s actually been ok. Yes I miss my free pastry after a tenner spend but I’ve had a freebie added to my account almost every week (any bakery item, cleaning product, £5 off over £50 spend and then today they’ve added free nuts). Because of the points offers they’ve been running (double points on fruit, then 200 extra points for £30 spend for the bank holiday weekend and now 5x points on veg), my points are quickly stacking up. I’m going to save them until I get to a £15 voucher which feels to me better than a free item that I wouldn’t have chose

Me too, today I got an any free dried fruit or nuts voucher.

I picked up some of the pasta ready meals from the Italian week in Aldi. The chicken Alfredo was delicious, has anyone ever froze them? The packaging says not suitable for freezing but I’d really like to stock up on some more of them. I’ll usually freeze anything but not sure how these would fare?

I think if there’s cream in the sauce they tell you not to freeze it because the sauce might split? Personally, I freeze everything & I’ve not died. Defrost in the fridge & use the original heating instructions & you’ll be fine.

Right decision made. I’m going back tomorrow in the hopes there is a few left for me to stick in the freezer. Thank you!

Anyone seen the garlic bread crisps?

I bought the pasta with beef today and had it tonight. It was nice for a microwave meal. Would have been better if I had grated cheese on top, but it was mouldy 🫠

*chef kiss* I love shopping at Aldi - especially on a monday morning before midday. So many amazing things are there.
My shopping came £43 - if i shopped at Sainsbury's it would have been double that amount.
Seriously I got Aldi high endolphin.....
