Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

Tinned mackerel was back today, though only the version in sunflower oil. No sign of the tomato sauce variety unfortunately.

The tomato sauce version must have gone to my local store then! they have had that back in for weeks now. we prefer the sunflower oil one..................um perhaps we should set up a 'swap shop'?

re. chocolate offers at Lidl, I thing the green milk/nut has just been on a 1/2 price weekend deal, I missed it.

I was after the dark and the white - marginally better to melt down than the milk

I know it's not edible, but the swim nappies are carp!

just a note to say that my favourite wine (Aldi) has gone up to £ 3.15. Still, it's nice , cheap and cheerful.

The wine annoyed me, although it was only £3.09 wasnt it? It's an annoyance that they snuck it up

Doesn't have to be edible just a good or bad buy

? In what way was it a sneaky rise? Have they changed the volume of the contents of the bottle?

Had it been a 30 p rise it wouldn't have felt "sneaky" I suppose:rotfl:, 6 p feels like they meant to hide it but I prefer the rises being gradual at Aldi rather than a big lump rise like elsewhere. I think the other supermarkets' policies of raising prices a huge lot and then reducing them as special offers is far "sneakier"...

I was delighted to see the mid-range Vitacat catfood at A on special offer for £ 1.75. Can't even get it at B & M for that price. And there are so many varieties that kitty is very happy indeed.

What s/he said! It's only pennies but better in our pockets.

Sorry, mostly food isn't it so thought would have hand slapped for none food with nappy chat. The normal nappies are great, but try get a 6 month wriggler into a nappy with no tabs for swimming its nearly impossible!
