i shop at Aldi regularly. I buy all my fruit and veg there. I can really recommend the lightly dusted haddock, cod and lemon sole. The haddocks my favourite, lovely and chunky. The tinned ravaoli also nice.
Also always buy the big pack of honey roast ham, really good value.
We also buy the jars of cooking sauces for chicken, the creole is gorgeous. The diet ginger beer really nice too.

Its the big one in the fridge section. Last time I had it it was £1.99. I think its about £2.19 now! Very nice and prob 6 portions out of it. I used to cut it up pre baking and only bake the piece I wanted. Very Very good!

Oh try and get the one with the most cheese on the top

Passata
Olive oil

Frozen fish fillets
German Bratwurst (they don't use wheat fillers..basically pure meat + spices)

Thank you, I think I know which one it is now, I didn't get it at the time as it was pork lasagne and I wasn't sure if it's the one that Ops have recommended on here - will go look for it now thank you!
