Aldi

Snackrite- chili and lime flavoured almonds they were in the Christmas range snap them up if there are any left. £1.25, not cheap but fab as are all their nuts far in front of other stores.

Boxes of tissues in Lidl are one of the best buys ever. Cheaper than supermarket value brand ones and _so_ much nicer.

Vacuum-pack beetroot
Celeriac
Salad rocket
Pickled red cabbage
Sweet potatoes
Aubergines
Vanilla rooibosch tea (but the other rooibosch flavours r less good)
3 cheers for having their cucumbers 'naked'!:T
Parmesan/Parmigiano cheese
Olive oil (we like Vita D'Oro)
(Plain at least - not tried milk) Chocolate biscuits
Wychwood & Shepherd Neame beers
Washing-machine anti-scale tabs
Noodle soup blocks
Cheap soya milk, but not as nice as Alpro Soleil, my fave!
Tortillas
Rice snacks ('Snacky Cracky'!)
Ice-cream wafers
For the price, 'Bellarom' ground coffee is acceptable

Aldi

If you like sauerkarut, you love the jars that Aldi sell. Scrumptious.

Lidl

Sardines in sunflower oil
Mackerel in sunflower oil

Can't live without them!

Apart from the food line with these supermarkets, the fact that if you buy any Electrical goods from them they are very well priced and also give a THREE year warranty!:j

Prefer Aldi to Lidl but shop in both. Aldi isn't as cheap as it used to be but on a like for like basis the quality is far far higher than Tesco.

Best buys:

Ham
Continental meats
Chocolate
Cakes
Cook in sauces
Fish
Frozen meals
Breakfast cereal
Pizza
Fruit juice
Bread
Aldi beer, wine and spirits
Toiletries
Cosmetics
Cleaning products

What to avoid:

Lidl 'Wheatabix'

Bockwurst in a jar - lovely in lentil stew with spuddies and carrots; around 85p
As a German, I tend to buy my bread there, so the Whole Grain bread. Looks like concrete, but is very tasty and better for you. Give it a try!

Yay, Linsensuppe mit Bockwurst. :j Lidl's lentil soup (the large can variety made in Germany) isn't bad at all.

Quite off topic, but on bread I've found out that you can't tell any difference between typical German "Graubrot" and the Polish Bakery cut loaves they sell in Tesco or Asda for a quite reasonable £1.09. Same ingredients, same baking process, same taste.

Aldi's are good though, better than 'Weetabix' I think.
