Aldi used to do some lovely salmon in horseraddish sauce in the chilled section that I used to buy often a couple of years ago but they stopped them.

However I love their palma ham, fresh pasta and parmesan. fruit and veg is great value too. Have also started using their night and day cream which is great value for money.

2 pint Fresh semi skimmed milk: 0.49p
Fresh orange juice - 1 litre: £1.19
Bakewells - pack of 6: 0.68p

My top things to avoid are: Recently started shopping at Aldi and being selective on my purchases.

My best buys
the Opticat dry cat food,
the own brand equivalent of Vanish wash additive,
curry sauce in a jar - Rogan Josh is yummy,
balsamic vinegar & virgin olive oil,
black bin bags (thick & tough).
Look out for dead cheap avocado pears & celeriac, seasonally
.Finally the shortbread fingers are really buttery. Worth a visit for anyone.:j

Lidl

I would recommend the following items there:
Frozen pollock (£2.99 for 1kg bag)
Sweet pickle (tastes much like Branston to me)
Bread (strong white) flour
Kania brand herb and spice jars
McCoy style 6 pack of crinkle cut crisps
Juice cartons
Multivitamin tablets
Ibuprofen tablets

That's all I can think of for now.

I love Aldi, do approx 60% of my weekly shop there.
Try everything would be my tip - if you are unhappy with anything - take it back (even if you can only take the empty can/packaging) with the recipt and they will happily give you a full refund.
Personally I find their Rich Roast Coffee unbeatable - better than expensive Nescafe and much, much cheaper.

Sainsbury's is very good at labelling own label products as 'suitable for coeliacs' (ie free from wheat, barley, rye or oat gluten). All the other big chains are AWFUL. Tesco: sort yerselves out.

The good news is that ALDI are pretty good at labelling their own-label products as gluten free - including soups, recipe sauces etc. Well worth a trip if you need gluten free food - much cheaper than health food or specialist on-line stores.

LIDL - useless. NETTO - don't know.

My top things to buy are: Fresh Taglitelle pasta- only the spinach variety, Chenin Blanc (Olifants River)- a really good cheap white wine... £3.08 a bottle! Also the cotton wool pads are far superior to most other places and only 79p a pack!
My top things to avoid are: Fresh Taglitelle pasta, egg... way too eggy!
