Great What/What Not to Buy at Lidl, Aldi and Netto Hunt

valk_scot

I started visiting my local Lidl regularly for their small cartons of pure orange and apple juice...5 for 79p (?) and my kids much prefer it to the Tesco version.

Other favorites..

Luxury muesli
Smoked salmon
Mixed bags of dried fruit, with apple rings and pears and big stuff like that, not raisins.
Cooked German ham. (The big round slices.)
Japanese rice crackers.
Olive oil.
Balsamic vinegar.
Luxury chocolate and strawberry sauces for ice cream.
Greek appetiser range....chillies stuffed with feta;vine leaves;sun dried tomatoes and olives etc.

Big nos? Don't touch the Stilton with apricots...it's the most vile cheese i've ever eaten.

But do try the regular stilton - it's very nice.

Hi Everyone,

I was in Aldi today and they were selling 'summer drink' (I think it was called that), it was in a bottle that looked very similar to P1mms. I was wondering if anyone has tried it and can give it the thumbs up or not :beer:

The drink is called "Austin's summer drink" and costs £4.99 or £5.99, not sure. I thought it was sold out everywhere by now. I haven't tried it myself, but was told the difference to Pimm's was marginal (except in price).

A couple for you Schamansky

Aldi are doing a boxed gift pack of 5 Schofferhofer Weissbier plus a nice glass for just over £6

Cooling down in the fridge for a Quality Control Session tonight I have 2 500ml bottles Spaten Munchen - Aldi again

Have Lidl stopped stocking their 99p 1kg boxes of cous cous or is their just a shortage in my area?

I noticed some in my Local Lidl the other day, though that's not to say it's not been discontinued, like the tuna, my local Lidl still had stock whilst another poster had noticed their local Lidl had ran out some time earlier, that was also discontinued.

I was told in-store a few lines have been discontinued.

Off topic I know but beware of car park charges.

I have just received a demand for £90 (£45 for early payment) for exceeding 1 hour 30 minutes in Farnham Lidl car park. The demand shows photographs of my car so I did not get a ticket at the time.

I only go to Lidl occasionally but spend quite a while when I do go and assumed it had free parking like other supermarkets. I'm sure I've parked there a similar length of time in the past so wonder if this is something new?

This has undone all the moneysaving from shopping there.

I wonder if its worth an appeal?

Looks as though it could have been worse:
