    Just back from Easter break and ended up in Aldi about 4 p.m. today. What a joy compared to my usual Friday morning!


    Fully stacked shelves, plenty of space to move around, loads of space in the car park and no check out queues! An experience definitely to be repeated.

    its printed in The Mirror every last Thursday of the month, £5 off £40 Shop

    I think tomorrow's is £5 off a £45 spend, at least that is what was advertised in Wednesday's Mirror, at the top of page 16.
    Hoping this year is better than the last. :)

    The giant butterfly prawns are amazing value and incredibly tasty. Just hope they have some left tomorrow!

    Hmm - up by a fiver? Thanks for the warning, still worth getting though, imo.

    Frozen. Not sure whether they're a regular line or specials for Easter.

    I got the quails today after seeing you talk about them on here. Not sure what to do with them (or what they taste like!) but will give them a go tomorrow.

    Southern fried chicken from Lidl, massive 1kg pack, not sure about the price. Much nicer than M&S.

    went into Aldi today to get my cheap wine fix and got brokkoli and limes. I like the look of the porridge oats packets so got some of those.
