    Anyone got an opinion on Aldi's memory foam pillows?
    I forgot:rotfl:


    BTW I think the Lidl laundry tablets are fantastic and you do not need two per wash like it says on the box, just one so they last AGES.

    Been to my first netto lately and thought it was disappointing, lots of ready meals and junk food.

    Mature grated cheese 400 kg fr £2.09. At Asda £1.75 for 220kg and it does not taste any different!!!!!!!
    Sorry should be grammes!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hmmm, I think you've got your units mixed up there. :D

    Somehow I don't think you'd be able to carry 400kg nor 220kg home with you, you might even struggle with just 20kg.

    I think you mean either 400g or 220g or 0.400kg or 0.220kg. It could be the packaging has dropped the 0 and just has .400kg (which is 400g).
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    So you did! :rotfl:

    I don't worry about lbs & ozs, brain is just so used to working in g and kg, don't even think about converting back and forth.

    I visited netto this week to stock up, i got 24 rolls of charmin toilet roll for £5.99 and 12 rolls of bounty for £4.99 - should last me a while! I could get the cheap stuff for a similar price but i'd rather a bit better quality when they're on offer like this.
    :money:
    keep it up netto! :T :T

  • Aldi's "New Improved Recipe" Irish Sausages. Used to be nice and spicy with a good texture, now a pile of gelatinous flavourless cack.

    Yes, I've got through ridiculous quantities of them in the past and they've been fine. Perhaps I just picked up a rogue pack!

    I don't think so - I noticed there was a definite difference in quality between the earlier batch (the one where there were reds as well) compared to this time.
