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

samiera

is this food really good quality?
have you read the ingredients and E numbers?
is it organic?
think about what you are putting into your body
but if its german then ignore the above, german food is generally very good

Lidl
Buy: Practically everything!!
I have been confronted by food snobs who go all squemish at the thought of "down market" SUPERmarkets!!
I agree though Lidl Baked Beans are an acquired taste - which I haven't acquired yet. Too sweet I think.

Cornflakes are brill and especially good for the children who are amazed at the super size and exciting shapes you can find!

Meat - yes
Veg can be hit and miss
bacon - yummy
Blue packet of 12 sausage rolls from the fridge section - delicious
Garlic bread to die for
39p bars of schogotten chocolate (spelt wrong probably) but very good for the price.
Nappies are good value for money and don't seem to cause any skin problems

BIG TIP - if you're one for Actimel type drinks try their version - I've only had the orange flavour not the natural but it is a ridiculously low price compared to these other brands and you get a slightly bigger drink. Still reckon it does the same job too!

Tomato sauce/Salsa dips and chips
Cakes
Cheap biscuits
Bin Bags
Batteries
Washing powder W5 is good

I could go on, but I'd end up listing everything!

If you haven't tried Lidl yet - PLEASE DO - You're worth it!! :T

Lidl's

Do buy nappies - great value ( 50 for 5.29) , fit well and don't smell like pampers/ huggies when they are wet

Also - cheese, twix rip off's, oats, bixes ( not the other cheaper nasty ones!), cheese, fruit juice, tuna, tomatos, pasta, eggs, bread flour, frozen fish, mayo

Don't buy
Bread mixes - very salty
Nappy wipes - Sainburys value pack is cheaper I think

Aldi, don't buy canned tangerine, they taste horrible.
Do buy Black forest ham and creamy yogurts (fools) for £0.35 a pop.

Electrics at Aldi & Netto are "spot on"--& cheap !!

Ihave had dvd recorder, loads of electric tools. £34 bagless vac etc. etc.

The computer I am on at the moment is one I got at Netto--no problems.

Good warranties on their stuff too !

Aldi sells strawberries (Scottish) at £1.39 for a large punnet checked in ASDA today £1.99.

Netto also got some fab offers on chocie for XMAS 2 x 1kg tins of quality street for £10 ( £7.48 each in sainsburys/asda)

Tin of Terry's chocolate orange 962g for £4.99 just eating mine now. v good value and loads more bargains on selection boxes (cadbury's) :T

Cheddar cheese from Lidl is so much better than Tescos. Even my OH commented on it and he never notices that type of thing!

Aldi's fresh decaff coffee is only 99p and tastes great.

Also the 2 in 1 washing powder is great value.

My daughter and I both love Lidl's fruit loaf.....very moreish.

From Lidl
Jaffa Cakes are brilliant, also their Half Chocolate Covered biscuits (esp the dark Chocolate are excellent)

Grapes are great value too

Their own label Cider is good too
