Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

System

Aldi's pulled pork is fab. The sauce tastes wonderful.

Tried these from Lidl , Hot & Spicy Wings , 12 in a pack and excellent amount of meat on them ! very very tasty now to try the same pack but in a BBQ sauce
Also the Big Jar of Pickled Gherkins ! MMMMMMMMM ! now if I could just find where the missus has hidden the jar ??

Aldi fresh pastry. Loads for your money and good when in a hurry as its ready rolled.

Saw some strange grapes strawberry flavour? What's that all about?
Also this week they have a selection of bee and insect houses at £7.99. I know its not food but they are good value as garden centres are charging double that.
I also really like aldi pickled beetroot.
Can't think that they would have attracted so many customers if their quality was not good.

From aldi - specially selected venison burgers, 2 pack for £2.49 in freezer section, absolutely lovely. I oven cooked them, would prob be even nicer on the barbecue. They are huge - nearly 6oz when I worked out how much 170g is in old money - so I think next time, we would have half each or maybe two between 3 of us. Really tasty alternative to burgers, very pleased

(Only bought them as I had a 50% off voucher from paper last week! but would buy again at full price. I guess that's the idea of the vouchers...)

Tried these too and agree ...also love their frozen fish ibatter as they are huge

Well put.

In fact that applies to pretty much everything Aldi and Lidl sell - it's pretty much the same stuff as all the other supermarkets, but at much lower prices because they operate much more efficiently and at much lower profit margins.
