Maybe i had a bad pack but i bought a pack of bacon at 99p from aldi and as i was removing a rasher at a time it cam apart in pieces as opposed to 1 whole rasher which is what happens with bacon from the multiples plus it didnt grill very well so think ill stick to sainsburys or butchers bacon in the future

Sounds like you may have had a bad pack as I normally don't have that problem. That said, I've noticed Aldi bacon has a lot of water in it, so I tend to avoid it anyway.

This looks an excellent buy at £120! Doesn't say it's HD but I guess it is because it has a HDMI socket. And a USB socket!! I'll be there Thursday!

At Netto -

Do buy (amongst others) - Eve fizzy alcoholic drink Lychee or Passionfruit flavour, only 50p for little bottles and quite nice
- v cheap fatballs for garden birds
- some of the gummy childrens sweets are nice
- bag containing 2 curries, 2 naan breads, rice for about £3 (& tastes nice)

Don't buy
the seafood sticks I got had a weird aftertaste, not very nice

Sort of. It says the screen resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels, which means that it's fully capable of 720p, but not 1080p (Full HD). For a screen of this size though, it's perfectly acceptable.

Does anyone know if the Favorina Filled Gingerbread hearts ~with dark chocolate are Dairy free??

The packet does say may contain traces of nuts, peanuts and egg but nothing about milk??


I'm dying to eat one but I'm scared I'll get a migraine as I'm allergic to Dairy products
