The Benefit bars that are made of chocolate and fudge are an acquired taste!

I enjoyed the first bar but, after that..., yuck!

Could anyone tell me about the Aldi face creams.

I have always used Oil of Ulay, or should that be Olay (showing my age now), beauty fluid. What should I be looking for in Aldi, I'm just after a everyday moisturiser rather than day/night cream.

I was visiting a friend and popped into the Aldi there as it was on the way to the main road to drive back home.

I saw a sign that you needed to input your car reg on a touchscreen in the bag packing area. I wonder what happens if you drive off without doing this. Plus some drivers don't know their car reg.

I needed some salad leaves and me and another fellow customer were disgusted about bags with Monday's date (1st) that had brown liquid at the bottom of the bags. Had to resort with another bag of a different variety of salad leaves for 10p more....

I bought the tracksuit bottoms and they are very comfy. Its a shame they only did hoodies up to a size 14. I need the large for the length as noticed the next size in most sweatshirts are an inch longer in length and look better on me.

Aldi's Cheese Emporium lighter mature cheddar tastes exactly like Cathedral City but only £1.75.

Now where's the poster that complains about the Aldi car park all the time when you need him?

I used Olay fluid and creams for years but Aldi products get my vote now.

The Q10 Daily Face Cream in the blue and white tube is great for an everyday moisturiser, it has an SPF of 15 so will be fine for UV protection as we move into Autumn. £1.49

Another face cream with an SPF of 15 that I quite like is a bit thicker and heavier than the Q10 - the Expert Day Cream. There's a night cream too. £3.99

There is also a range of serums in pump - action ground glass bottles, absolutely brilliant. £3.49 They have moved the matching eye cream on to the Specials list (I bought three the last time they were available).

The 3-in-1 facial cleansing wipes are great quality, though I usually have to hunt for a pink pack for mature skin,

Look for the 500ml for £1.29 maroon Dove looky-likey body lotion. It's gorgeous.

Thanks so much, this is just the info I wanted, I'll check them all out on my next visit.



A couple more good Aldi buys from me:

Abbott & Broome 4 pack moisturising soap, very similar to Palmolive Naturals.

Lacura for men Vivid Anti Perspirant 250ml, I need quite a strong deoderant so usually buy the mens ones, this works really well for me.
