    Last Christmas Eve, my Aldi did BOGOF on all their fruit, veg and bread. Might be worth a look if you have any time left.

    Always buy (for about 99p) a large milk chocolate father christmas and tree decorations from Lidl. This year also got the luxury version (father christmas only) Plain Chocolate and he really is the nicest looking chocolate father christmas I've seen and all for £1.49.

    Don't know about Netto's bratwurst, but Aldi's are lovely. I've been buying them for years, £1.49 for 6, no fat and taste great.

    DO NOT, and I really mean in caps, DO NOT, buy Christmas turkey from Lidl. When you coem to defrost it on Christmas eve and find that it stinks & is indeed fully purple then your (excuse the pun) stuffed.

    Yes.. yes... speaking from experience... *sigh*
    Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat.

    ALDI La Boulangerie Baguettes 2 for 39p pop into oven and in a few moments lovely fresh bread. - vacuum packed and keep for ages in the cupboard, no excuse to run out of bread....far better than Tesco,Morrisons and the like.
