Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

The Aldis around me are laid out the same, so I presume its the same as your store. Its on the shelves above the freezers ready meals/pizzas area. Go to the milk section and its opposite there.

Not in the store I use. It's opposite the fruit & veg as you enter the store, on a shelf next to the olive oil, as bylromarha said. The freezers are at the opposite end of the store.

Have just eaten Aldi's coconut and vanilla fat free Greek yoghurt as I love the Muller ones (only buy them when they work out £1.50 or less for a tour pack) and there is a weird chemical aftertaste to the Aldi ones. Got a pack of the lemon ones. So fingers crossed these are ok.

I have also been buying the ham trimmings in Aldi for months and found it to be excellent but recently I have found that it goes 'off' very quickly after the packet is opened. Used to get 3 days but the last few packs only lasted 1 day before they smelt odd. Think I will go back to their other packaged hams or cook a gammon joint to slice.

Their own brand malt loaf is particularly nice. I actually prefer it to Soreen.

Hope to get the tablet tomorrow, does anyone know if they are any good and -

do you ask at the till for them as they are usually under a glass counter/box so you can't help yourself? or do you try and find an assistant?

Voucher ?? please tell me more, money off I guess.

£5 off a £40 spend in The Mirror or The Record (Scotland) tomorrow.

I would just grab anyone working on the floor to ask about the tablets, although the sign on the cases does say to ask at the till.
The Daily Mirror has a £5 off a £40 spend Aldi voucher in tomorrow, valid up to and including next Thursday. I always buy two copies to use in consecutive weeks.

There is also a selection of coupons for 30% or 50% off different products, though these tend to sell out quickly on the day of issue.
I always get them the following week when they are back in stock.

Do give your vouchers to the till assistant before your shopping starts to go through, as it really holds things up if you don't

Last time Aldi had tablets I heard reports that each store only had a few in stock and they were sold out within minutes of the store being open. Prepare for an early shop if you want one

Do check the spec https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thursday-27th-march/product-detail/ps/p/178cm7-tablet-pc-medion-lifetab-e7318-md-98691/ and compare it with others simarlarly priced.

I love the way this thread has the ability to extract the tiniest details from people's lives. (Not being sarcastic ).
