Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

Happygreen

My apologies for recommending that one donut !
- Probably rich in calories but nice ....can I recommend Lidl's new range of French cheeses? The goat's cheese is not new but the other two at £ 1.99 (sorry, names escaped me) are new on the shelf here. Very nice indeed, mild and soft.
1 stupid question, folks - what does YS stand for? It's probably very obvious indeed but help me out

I am giving up buying Aldi milk as in the past two weeks two lots have gone down the sink before the use by date. I am sure the tops aren't great quality and let air in and the milk goes sour. Also I love the funsize apples but this time there was a rotten one in the bag and the rest are really hard and tasteless. They had gone up in price too from 89p to 99p.

I emailed Aldi about the milk and they responded saying they had not other complaints of such a thing.

They're lying then, because I've complained at least twice in writing to their Head Office and I'd be amazed if I was the only one.

Erm.. So no one else having complained about the same thing is a valid excuse then?

I buy bits from both stores every week as mine are practically next door to each other. I too often throw milk away that's gone off before date but can't remember which store it comes from.
Maybe we should complain in bulk, they might listen then.

I wonder if the milk issue is store specific?

We've been buying Aldi milk for many years now (the 4 pinters), and I don't recall ever having to throw any away.

You need to invest in a fridge thermometer! It sounds like yours is on the way out.

£5 off a £45 spend in aldi.

Today's the day of the Mirror voucher. Go buy a newspaper or 2 if you do larger shops there.

If someone could post the other money off coupons with it, that'd be helpful.
