'alpen' alternative please?

I always bought Alpen but now much prefer the Lidl one especially the fruit one , it's much better than alpen.

I like the Lidl one in the foil bag. It contains much more fuit and nuts than the Waitrose one and is cheaper.

I stopped buying the Tesco one when I found a large insect crawling in the bag.

Hello

I really like the museli they sell in Lidl!
I'm not sure if it's as good as Alpen, but out of all of the non-branded museli it's my favourite! And its cheap.

my mother raves over the lidl alpen.. be warned there are actually two sorts of muesli in lidl.. and one is a-okay but the other is awful.. about 98% oats and only 50p cheaper.

What sort of insect was it? I know the supermarkets have problems with the flour weavels boring holes in the bags.. Good test for when you're in Tesco next... check the bags for tiny little insect holes.. Problems with vermin are far more common than supermarkets will admit.

They were baiting for rodents in the local Tesco, in and outside the building during store open hours! The dog loves going shopping at Tesco.. If it's quiet, I let him loose in the car park and he chases the rats! They hide beneath those thick ground covering shrubs. He should get some ClubCard points for his services!
