Just tried Stackers, aldis version of pringles and there loads better than actual pringles, the actual crisps are much thicker and substantial x

Sometimes I don't need to know stuff like this - just makes me fatter than ever!!

Aldi is a bit of a mission for me. It either involves a bus, or dh's car or a 40 minute walk. But hubby kindly took me today and I got:

Crunchy nut equivalent
Cream cheese
Rice pudding
Nappies
Caramel wafer bars
Pasta sauce
Super 6 sweet potato which were 69p anyway with an extra 30% off so they were really 49p for 750g. Bargain
Chocolate Viennese fingers.

I can attest that he Viennese fingers were to die for and as good as the leading brand which can cost more then £1.50 at times and it was only 79p. Haven't tried anything else yet but will let you know.

Oh yeah, I also got a roasted veg pizza for only 99p which looks so awesome which is gonna be dinner later on with a side salad and some reduced garlic bread from freezer.

Their amaretto is fab too! Poured in your cOffee for a naughty indulgence or with coke- tastes identical to Disarrono! I bought a lot of their spirits (I agree cocobay is fab- espec with pineapple juice!) and they were all great & everyone at party loved them. (not too sure whether would be as good as branded if having rhen straight as haven't tried, but excellent with mixers!) ;-)

Yeah so I lied, it wasn't roasted veg, it was grilled veg but still very nice. I will definitely buy it again next time I go.

Caramel bars not so good. Prefer the 'normal' ones

yes where is the salmon wellington? Am thinking I really want to try that! Also their jaffa cakes are the best you can get we love them always buy their fruit shortcake biscuits as well and their frozen roast pots and roast winter veg had a trial run for christmas dinner see ( am feeding the 5000 christmas day )! Can really vouch for the turkey crown it was delicious and we find they sell like....... well turkey at christmas!

Sorry I can't put links in yet. Its salmon in pastry with a delicious prawn sauce. Its £3.99 in the freezer. My friend used to spend a fortune on an M&S version for Boxing Day and she says Aldi's is just as delicious.
