    quintwins i agree with your list totally, with a few exceptions. I don't like any cheap teabags - wish i did, as i go through gallons of the stuff. Value salad cream is not very nice, but the mayonnaise is fine. We use persil liquid for laundry, but did used to buy a box of bio powder to soak grill pans etc. Have also bought value sausage rolls (the 8 pack) and they were fine. The ham is ok, but for a slight bit xtra i find the tulip one better. Not too keen on the crisps, but then i usually buy them from AF or similar. And finally, chips, the value ones are okish, you get a few bad bits on them, but i find for 20p more the 2kg country house steakhouse chips are lovely.

    I acually use the salad cream aswell but i only use it in sandwichs, lidl do the nicest mayo ever :), i also use value red sauce for the kids as a treat (i hate the stuff) and brown sauce.

    I don't mind the value chips i do tend to throw a few away because there abit black but i'm talking maybe 5 from the whole bag, i'm getting chips today so i'll see if they have those ones in my store.

    The fish really is ok, my hubby was very impressed with it given the price, i think your thinking of the oven chips, i buy the fry chips which come in a 2.2kg bags i can't remeber the exact price but i think there around £1.35 there more like fries than chunky chips.

    They are oven chips, but supposedly you can fry oven chips - i have never done it and would not want to put you wrong - if you can - im sure they would come out nice, as they are really chunky and seem to be good quality potatoes.

    Aldi today had frozen bags of corn on the cob for 49p and mexican honey reduced from £1.99 to 99p
    Forgot to add they also have sweetcorn, hamburger and onion relishes at 29p a jar
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    Save Dosh,

    Aldi supersix this week are cucumbers, tomatoes, beetroot, avocados, radishes and new potatoes.

    I love supersix. We do our shop and menu plan on a sunday and i'm always trying to find out what its going to be on the weeks that it changes so I can plan the menu around it. We buy other fruit and veg as well, but i try to base at least a couple of meals off of the supersix.:j
