    I've been an Aldi girl for ages but haven't been for a couple of months cos I've been trying to boost my Tesco points...must say the quality of Aldi's food is far superior than most of the Tesco stuff I've tried - to spend the same amount in Tesco I have to stick to quite a few of their 'value' range and most of it is minging !

    Just done a quick shop at Aldi to stock up on stuff I really can't bear from anywhere else...and it felt like coming home ! :rotfl: How quick and friendly are the check-out staff ! Tesco's miserable SA's taking forever to scan a couple of items don't compare.

    Anyhoo - my Aldi favoutites today are
    Tins of tuna with tomato and basil
    Small pots of fruit cocktail in grape juice
    Peanut brittle
    'Torpedo' bread rolls with seeds on

    Lidl's red (Rosso) Balsamic vinegar makes a lovely sweet-ish salad dressing with some extra virgin olive oil.

    If you want taste then try the chilli hand cooked crisps in the big share bag from Aldi...not that I would share them with anyone - MINE MINE !:rotfl:

    Have to disagree on the peanut butter (Route 66 smooth) - bought some from Lidl and found it wouldnt 'spread' it just moved about my toast! The only way to get enough on was to pile it on - the taste wasnt too bad but didnt like the texture. Will try the Aldi one next.

    has anyone tried the cider from lidl's? they do 4 cans for just under £2 i think it was. i have a bit of a strongbow fan in my house and these would work out a lot cheaper if they are ok :)
    It only seems kinky the first time.. :A
  • Don't know about the cans but I can vouch for the Aldi £1.50 2 ltr bottled cider - absolutely gorgeous! It has a real apple flavour and I speak as a fan of varietal ciders. The Lidl one one one the other hand is pants - nothing but chemical flavours and not nice ones at that.
