the list is fab. I really could have done with it last week when trying to remember what had been said about lidl washing powder. The list is printing now and will carefully tucked into my handbag for my next shopping trip.

Can anyone tell me where the Log-in box is? I can see the Log-off box but no Log-in.
I apologise in advance if it is right there in front of me... <g>

Welcome claraten,

The log in box is just above the log out box, but is not there cos you are logged in.

.If you tick the remember me box then you wont have to log in each time you visit, you will be logged in and out automatically.

reply gives chance for another bump.

Anyone out there purchased the Gluten Free bread from Aldi. I have tried my two local stores and they haven't a clue what I am talking about.What name does it go under?

Juts been in this morning into Aldi from a portable dvd player to kepe my daughter busy when she goes to hospital, I couldnt find the £60 players that were on offer

New to the site but a long term user of all these supermarkets (and Kwiksave for their loss leaders). Love Aldi tinned tomatoes and butter . Frozen lamb shanks in rosemary and redcurrant are fab. HOWEVER. Aldi's diet cloudy lemonade and delicious stem ginger biscuits have disappeared. Is this just a Hull thing? Do we have faith that consumer power would bring them back if enough of us are missing them? Your thoughts appreciated. And suggestions on where to find alternatives.

In some areas, Aldi/Lidl have become the suppliers for ebayers. Being there at opening time on a Thursday is the best way of securing the specials.

tobys_mummy · 29-05-2006, 2:13 PM

what size do aldi nappies start at?

MandaMango · 31-08-2006, 11:19 AM

To try and save myself some time and money of making a 30 mile round trip to see if they had a special deal in, I thought I would ring to get the phone number of my nearest store. I called the head office, who refused to give me the number saying I would have to visit the store and they were cost saving by not giving me the number.
In this day and age, this company is seriously behind the times and has seriously peed me off!!

Thanks for letting me have a rant!

My personal opinion is that the UHT milk at Lidl is not something I want to buy ever again - the spout is completely useless, not reclosable, if you take a few days to finish your milk like me

just a point to note if you ever wanted to buy UHT milk from Lidl

The Aldi lids for their UHT milk is ace...they work brilliantly.

Hope this helps someone...

Yes I used to buy the bread and it was lovely, but they stopped doing it. I did manage to get a local Health food shop to order it for me. But they had to order it in bulk and they did'nt sell it all, so they wouldn't order it again.When I find out the name again I wil contact you.

Will the list of products in the article be continuously updated, based on moneysavers' comments in the "What (not) to buy at ..." thread?

Strange. The stores in East Anglia have both, biscuits and lemonade.

Schamansky · 23-09-2006, 9:21 PM

Bump.

I'd really like to know whether and how the list of recommendations in the article will be updated.

Cheers.

I buy the Diet Blue Thunder, it's a Red Bull energy drink copy, but is actually very nice. I think it's about £1.59 for 6 cans which is about a third of the price of red bull. You have to hunt for it though as it's usually buried under the full fat stuff.
