Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

Anyone managed to get Aldi Sesame crispbreads recently the ones like Ryvita? Been out in our store for a good month now.

An abundance of both varieties in Swadlincote Derbyshire.
Further to my comment earlier about our Aldi changing everything round. The lady on the checkout said that they're doing it to add 100 extra lines and in her words you won't have to go anywhere else soon. Bring it on! Love our local Aldi store and sounds like I'm going to love it more in the forthcoming months

I do hope they're Aldi lines, rather than branded ones. That's where Aldi really score.

There were loads in my local store in Wells a few days ago.

Thanks RE sesame crispbreads. Don't know if it's a good sign or not that you guys have stock near you given that they have vanished from 3 different stores in my locality (Scottish stores) for the past 4 weeks:( I was forced to spend £1.29 on Ryvita today which aren't even as nice.

yes - I find the Aldi version is often better than the 'branded' one!

I truly hope that Aldi don't lose sight of what put them on top in the first place and don't just become another one of the big 4

One of the Aldi's I use near my workplace in Bristol has just been made about 30% bigger.

Popped in a few days ago but was running late and didn't have a chance for a proper look around.

One thing stood out - they have an Aldi-style fresh bread/baguette/cake section which is great news, especially if this is rolled out to more stores.

The place was absolutely rammed with customers. Aldi don't seem to be able to do anything wrong at the moment. Good for them, I say.

Will I find these in the freezer?
Thanks!

Regarding store enlargements - I don't have a problem with that as long as it's new and different products and not just 20 varieties of the same like in the big 4....
