Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

Any recommendations for washing powder/conditioner?? I have 2 small children who get really grubby & I spend a fortune on washing tablets elsewhere, need something that is effective!

I'm not a huge fan of Aldi washing liquid/conditioners to be honest. I prefer Ariel/Comfort so stock up elsewhere when on offer

Just bought er indoors the Activity Tracker wristband thing for £29.99. It seems like really good value as the nearest thing I can see is £44.99 on amazon. And the aldi one has a 3 year warranty.
Also just had the choc fudge milk shake and it was divine.

The other day I did my main shop in a brand new Aldi which was just over a week old, the queus were horrendous, they have 6 tills constantly on and it wasn't enough, you couldn't move in the ailses for trolleys and pallets and the car park is way too small. Th coop next door was empty!

On a more positive note i bought some surge protector plug things at the weekend in aldi for £9.99 which are fab two types ones has usb sockets too and is small and compact very pleased with both

The problem with products like this is that you don't know if they work - until they don't.

I'm not sure I'd trust a cheap surge protector.

How long did you actually have to queue for, though?

Probably about 10 minutes which is an awful long time for a supermarket especial ally Aldi.

You don't know if any of them work,i would trust Aldi or Lidl surge protectors same as say Belkin,you only get one year warranty usually too.

Belkin's entire reputation depends on its electronic products working. Aldi's doesn't.

Still, it's your choice.

Same with just about any new store, not unique to Aldi/Lidl. You cannot build it to cope with the initial rush of customers who will go along to "test it out".

Are the churros and croquettas no longer stocked?

If yes, are there any plans to bring them back?

I seen them on a blog a couple of days ago but can't find them

I've been using Ariel 3 in 1 liquid capsules for a couple of weeks now and they are better than Aldis Almat capsules. I've also used Daz powder and think thats better as well.
I think my washing has been cleaner, brighter and smells better. People swear by Aldis washing liquid/powder but I cant.
