Aldi
My freezer is full to bursting point and my pantry is well stocked. I plan to eat from these as much as possible in February. I'd intended to do my top-up shopping for fruit, veg, bread, milk etc in tesco or asda but wonder if I would be better off shopping in Aldi. For those of you who go to Aldi, what's your opinions -…
Tesco additional accounts
I recently read that you can create a new account on Tesco using all the same information but simply using a different email address.

Is M&S coleslaw the nicest?
On a recent thread people kept saying M&S coleslaw was the nicest coleslaw. I've tried the lidl potato salad because I read on here that was lovely & it was, second only to home-made I thought. I tried their coleslaw from the same make, but it wasn't up to much I thought. I quite like the M&S one & the Sainsbury's taste…
Free range chicken:aldi vs Lidl?
Hello fellow moneysavers In the past I have usually bought organic chickens from Sainsbods - I got suspicious about what they do to cheaper ones after my dog refused to eat the meat from a bog standard chicken. But...MEGABUCKS!!! Does anyone have any comments about whole free range chickens from either Aldi or Lidl - are…

As the title says, £5 for 36 loo rolls, 18 x2 bails in poundstretcher. Last time I bought the B and M bails they were £3.49, £2.99 before Christmas, so a little bit of a saving there for you.
