    In Netto 150Ml of tabasco sauce Ie 2.5 times bigger than standard bottle ...only £1.80 ..... normally the small bottle retails to very similar price. I stocked up with 4 bottles :T

    NEVER buy fresh chicken's from Netto, we bought one and on opening it, found it to be completely rotten (with a sell by date of 3 days)

    I've never had any trouble.

    Aldi

    Recommend :-
    Roar bars
    Romeo bars
    Pink lemonade
    Fruit & Veg
    Choc Brioche

    Love the quick service at the tills and being able to chuck everything in trolley and move away to pack without holding other customers up. Have never had to queue for long and much prefer this to being stuck behind slow dithering people or cashiers who are just slow or chatting to their mates.. I wish more places were this efficient.. Have no problem with the trolley facing one way once I got the hang of how it works..

    Don't recommend :-
    Specially selected Salt & Vinegar type crisps

    Lidl
    Recommend :-
    Cheese

    Don't recommend :-
    Bixies - weetabix type (but had it with warm milk)

    Looking forward to trying lots more products...

    Updated 28.08.09 for Ali recommended :-
    Hazelnut chocolate at 59p - wonderful
    Cheese coleslaw
    Pizza (gold label winner sticker on it)
    Peanuts

    Lidl: won't recommend the own brand beans, they're disgusting with very watery sauce and fewer beans compared to other lower priced beans.
