Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

4 big boxes of packets of Ginger Nuts in Aldi today - 25p a packet.

OH hates them, so didn't buy, but felt like I should if they were going to disappear from the shelves!

on the price tickets next time you go in you will see the code on the bottom left of the ticket in lidl it's a five digit code starting 8...it will be the same code next time you go in, and the next time you go...etc etc

thanks, :T im just curious about stuff but that's how you learn, if someone had told me without me asking, I wouldn't perhaps remember.

I sooo had to resist the freezer goodies this evening! Quail, pheasant, venison, four bird roasts, roulades, king prawns etc :drool:

I did pick up a bag of tuna steaks to try though. Absolute bargain at £2.99 :j

Their ginger nuts are normally 25p - they are rather yummy.

I tried some of Aldi's wienerschnitzel the other day - talk about scrummy.:)

saw all the plu codes as I was quail and roulard shopping


they still had loads of the s buy tools from last week I noticed, my next stop was to a mates in a battery shop who was telling me about his rusty frame, so I told him to go get a sand blaster like mine for a 10er. he couldn't believe how good it was.

00800 78 77 23 68, invalied number it says, but this is the number also on the website


tried 0800 78 77 23 68 it says try again deleting the first 0 from a mobile, so rang


800 78 77 23 68 invalied number


theres no e mail address but you have to phone before returning goods


perhaps its only from a land line, but bt wont fit me one in-case I tow the caravan away taking the pole with it:rotfl:

We don't shop in either very much as the nearest branches are 15/20 miles away. A new Aldi is opening 5 miles away in April so we will visit often.

We have bought a number of non food items over the last few years and there are some bargains to be had although the quality is variable. The customer service is good and they will replace things without question.

We bought a weed wand which didn't work properly so Lidl sent a replacement plus gas canister from Germany. We bought a small induction hob from Aldi and after nearly 2 years it stopped working. They no longer made them so sent a cheque for virtually the whole amount, that's what I call service!

As a point of interest Aldi came top of Which best supermarket, again.

Has anyone tried their wet cat food? Our little one loves Asda but it is a bit malodorous.

thanks for the answer vpb23.
can I just ask;


if the price changes on the various items ie like carrots being on the super 6 does that alter the plu code or do you need to re-learn them every week.


im just curious is all.

The code stays the same but price alters on till.
