    Bramwell BBQ sauce - my kids love it and it beats the other brands by miles.
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    I live on my own and I never spend £40-45 in Aldi. Most I spent was £22 or £23 including a pair of walking shoes which are very comfy.

    Do Aldi or Lidl do a Southern Comfort/Morgan Spiced/Sailor Jerry type spirit? What's it like?

    Yes Aldi used to sell a SoCo type drink according to the net it was called southern belle but they don't sell it anymore, no harm in double checking, can't sat I've seen a Soco type drink in Lidl.

    Asda and Tesco sell a SoCo type of drink, have tried both and they aren't too bad.

    I bought some crumpets from Aldi on Friday and they taste awful. I haven't tried everything from there as I don't go often but won't be buying them again.

    I also bought some crumpets from Aldi the other week. They were Warburton's. They're not exclusive to Aldi. They're sold in every supermarket and are about the best you can get.

    I think you unfortunately had a bad batch. We buy Aldi's own crumpets and love them.

    I can also recommend the tubes of Energise effervescent vitamins. They are identical to Berocca for a fraction of the price.

    Berocca = £4.79 in Boots for 15 tablets
    Energise = 89p in Aldi for 20 tablets

    Not keen on Aldi's crumpets either. Always buy Warbie's 9 pack of crumpets for £1 in Iceland or Asda.
