Aldi & Lidl #9

@Nelly's mum my nearest Aldi doesn't have the special buys usually either. Maybe some of the food ones but definitely not picking up a concealer with my rosé, that's for sure.
The one in Camden usually has a few of the special buy makeup/beauty bits, but usually by the time I get there, the only shades I'd be interested in are the ones that have already been opened by someone 🫠

No, the makeup specials are not sold out, they are not there at all - for some annoying reason my Aldi just doesn't have anything nice or interesting, just loads of fridges - the chillers/ready meals take up about a quarter of the store, they have a minimal shelf of toiletries etc, the baskets in the middle aisle are usually full of boring stuff, then there's loads of freezers.

Many times I gone there for something nice I've seen online, I don't know why I bother as they are never there! I'm only going to Aldi as there's road works by my Lidl and it is like one of the circles of hell...

🤐 As mum always said don't moan about what you've got, some people have it worse!!!
I'm being pressured to move out to the sticks which sent me batshit crazy that there'd be no Home Bargains, The Range or Aldi.
I'll try to be a better human in future and be thankful for my Aldis.🥰

I think I've been quite lucky then as mine had everything 🫣. I got the CT setting spray dupe, tanning drops and concealer.

I'm not sure why people are going wild for the rouge perfume it smelled awful to me!.

The Camden one is such a pain in the hole to get to and yes, the fact they're bound to have been opened doesn't help matters. I also find the staff in that branch very unpleasant.

Nooooo! One of the best things about going out of London is when you get to those places where they're all in a row. Just popping into each one and enjoying everything.

I'm still gutted that the nearest B&M to me closed and is being replaced by another Aldi. They're putting two shops on the site so it's not even going to be the same size or footprint. So another smaller branch. Sigh.

Do you check the website/app to see if you store stocks the items
Yes, of course. It's just a small branch so they're not inclined to getting such things in. I don't drive so it's hard to get to a bigger branch in London easily. The nearest one I can think of is in Colindale and I'm near Ladbroke Grove. Paying for a cab would surely defeat the point of saving money?

I take back my comments about the Camden Aldi 😅

They had several of each shade of the concealers and blush available and none of the boxes looked like they'd been opened! I picked up one of the concealers to try

Our nearby Aldi were selling off the Italian range ready meals for £1.49 today, garlic baguettes for 49p they mustn’t have been that popular there were plenty left

When I picked up the beauty dupes I grabbed the mushroom croquettes for lunch today. It was if someone had somehow solidified Campbells condensed soup and rolled it in breadcrumbs. No for me 🙅🏼‍♀️.

Our Aldi had the Italian meals reduced to £1.49, plus some were also use by tomorrow so reduced a further 30%. Bought 2 of those, plus a mac and cheese (also £1.49) and 2 garlic breads as they were only 29p!

Also bought a flamingo for the garden 😂😂

Has anyone had the ‘pesto swirl’ from Lidl bakery? Just saw it in the leaflet and wondered if it’s worth it or not.
