Lidl curry sauces in a jar... OMG!!!:j

Tried Jalfrezi - good.Tried Korma - excellent!Loads of coconut pieces etc.,Then tried Tikka Masala - heaven!!!Coupled with Quorn fillets (which are half price in Tescos just now!) - a delicious and cheap curry!Mmmmmmmmmmm

Also the thick and creamy yoghurts in both Aldi and Lidl are lovely and only 69p each IIRC

Agreed about the curry sauces! We also buy the Lidl fresh Turkey breast meat (500g for £2.29, it's far cheaper than the fresh chicken for some reason) and make enough Turkey curry for 4 meals, along with their tasty Basmati rice (comes in a 1kg box for approx 80p!). Lovely!

Yesterday in Tesco my friend bought Stella lager, they were on offer 2 for £16 I told him to wait till we got to Lidl but no.
When we got there 2 for £14!

Lidl's Range of chocolate is very good - usual clones plus some very high cocoa content bars at great prices!

Netto

Buy the Lemonade - tastes much nicer than Lidl's


Lidl

Don't ever buy the lemonade - its tasteless


Buy as the Chicken Burgers, Pot Noodles and Magnum style ice lollies (6 for 99p) they are lovely especially the nut version!!

I buy jars of articoke hearts in oil at Aldi for only £!. They cost £2.48 in Tesco and they tasts just as nice

I also vote for Aldi tinned tomatoes. They cost the same price as the big supermarket basic brands, however taste nicer and have a lot less water in them.

netto is similar to lidl, its a danish owned comapny

anyway my comments on what to buy and try from aldi

try the specially selected fruit tarts, plum is nice, cherry and custard is nice and the strawberry with rhubarb is nice too
the moser roth milk chocolate is good quality
the dairyfine choc bar(looks like cadburys)
titan bars(mars bars)
racers(snickers)
im sure the cereals from aldi are made by the big brands well im sure the cornflakes are made by kellogs
theres small bars of belgian chocolate thats cappuccino flavoured

what to buy and try from lidl

the knights crisps(i call them kettle chips)
the tiriamisus(sp?) are the same you get in the french lidl and they are awesome
the freeway coke is on offer this week(maybe on for longer not sure) at 19p a bottle

The shandy is back at ALDI. Made by Brasserie St Omer, France.
Need a pallet truck.

The shandy in Netto is made by the same place. Excellent for hot summer days (if we ever get any ) and BBQ's.

ALDI are selling Oyster and Nougat wafers 89p I think, so you can make your own ice creams. They taste great with the "GUT" vanilla ice cream from LIDL.
