    Strawberry & Banana smoothie. Just as good as Innocent and well under £2 for a litre (unlike Innocent who downsized their bottles to 750ml whilst keeping the price high, naughty naughty...).

    Their vodka is pretty good too :)

    Other things we buy:

    - Frozen chicken breasts (the premium no added water ones are £3.99 I think for 750g) - much cheaper than fresh and the supermarkets. Definitely don't get added water ones though.
    - Breaded scampi
    - Sole goujons with lime and chilli
    - Fajita meal kits
  • I vote for their dishwasher tablets - the cheaper ones are actually better than their dearer ones! £2.69 for 50
    Love the bathroom cleaner - 89p - gets my tiles sparkling
    Lacura spray deoderant - no white marks - 89p
    Kondo'ed 76 items from wardrobe, 4 carrier bags of books

    We like their version of Mars bars - they're called Titan and are absolutely yummy, about 69p for a pack of 6. Racers are similar to Snick3rs, and they are good too.

    I buy Snackrite Salt your Own Crisps
    Aldi Frozen Skinless/Boneless Chicken Breasts
    Frozen Chips
    Sometimes frozen mash
    Frozen Cauliflower Cheese
    Fresh fruit and veg
    Conserves - Sour Cherry is divine
    Chocolate - Dairyfine, Jive Bars (like Twix only more in pack)
    Tinned Peaches in Light Syrup
    Fresh Sirloin Steak - 100% British (it is the nicest steak I have eaten)
    Italian Ham
    I buy liquid soap
    Lipsyl (their brand is Lacura)
    Ice Cream
    Frozen Fruit Strudels too - these are great as you get two large pieces so you don't have to try and cut it in half unlike some that you get.
