Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

Happygreen

we had the half-price bbq ribs from Lidl at the weekend. A good amount in the packet for under £ 1.50 and quite nice but the sauce tasted almost Chinese, sweetish and mild. We might get these again when we have a BBQ even at full price.

tried a carton of this aldi product, from chiller cabinet. Appleby farm or something.
Pork is cooked for 40 mins in oven then taken out and pulled apart with 2 forks until shredded. Then open sachet of sauce, pour over and put back in oven for another 5 mins.
It was delicious - really tender, although the sauce (I think barbeque flavour) was extremely peppery hot, too hot for my taste really. Next time would use a different sauce to the one supplied but would def buy product again.
Can thoroughly recommend.
Quantity - serves 2 or 3 if meaner with portions as we were.

Thanks, I've not seen this in my Aldi store but maybe I've overlooked it. I've just ordered some from my butcher which I know is amazing so would be great to compare prices

Maybe you could have stated this was for Lidl and not Aldi. I got all excited for nothing

People must have already mentioned Aldi's 85% cocoa chocolate - £1.09 for 125g in five little bars, and delicious! All their Moser Roth chocolates are really good. As I'm dairy-free I also appreciate that they stock cakes, biscuits & pies without dairy ingredients: usually the cheaper ones, and very nice :cool:

Bread flour's good - some bakers say it's the purest on the market, whatever that means - at 99p for 1.5kg. Home baking ingredients here: https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/product-range/fresh-bakery/home-baking/ingredients/

I'm moving soon, and one of my criteria is 'within walking distance of an Aldi'

Aldi have stopped selling their own brand Bourbon Whiskey :eek:

£2.69 for Pulled Pork shoulder & Half rack of ribs

Both of these are introductory offers and will go up to £2.99 in due course. I've tried both and absolutely love them!

I buy the 70% every week and it's excellent. I love the fact that there are 5 little bars. So it's a small chocolate hit a day for under 22p!
