Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

Has anyone tried the basic Crunchy Salad from Aldi?

I normally get my bag of crunchy salad from Lidl and I like it, at 89p it does me about 4 meals, I had just bought a bag when I saw the basic on in Aldi for (I think) 39p.

I'm just checking on here about quality for that price before I commit to trying it for myself

Not Aldi, I'm afraid - switched to Lidl this week. They had some rather nice sweet corn at 20p a cob.

Always buy it and no different to Morrisons version. Stopped buying Morrisons as rather than being sensible and reducing single bag prices, they made it a multibuy - 2 for £1. So it still cost slightly more per bag more than Aldi and one bag was wasted, so one bag was costing £1.

I love the Aldi Crunchy Salad - it lasts a lot longer than the Tesco equivalent.

My favourite Aldi buys are: Dreamy mini chocolate bars (no different from MilkyWay); frozen apple strudel; their reduced fat cheddar cheese (SO CHEAP!); their garlic bread batons and the curry sauces with the little spice pod on top. Sorry I am terrible with the brand names.

My biggest Aldi mistake: Bubbles mini chocolate bars - they are rank! Taste so cheap and nasty.

After they have been missing from my local store for many weeks now, Cheese Curls are back in stock, along with Benefit bars, frozen salmon fillets and minted lamb burgers. Strange they should all reappear together!

Does anybody know if Aldi still do any sort of (original) lucozade equivalent?

They used to do one called Explosade, but the only ones I can see bearing that name now appear to be still rather than fizzy.

I am sure that they probably do. I will check when I am in on Saturday and report back :-)

Thanks, I did look earlier and couldn't see anything similar unfortunately.

mysupermarket site (admittedly not very comprehensive) seems only to show fruit flavoured varieties.

Thanks, I'd already checked there, but it seems to match what I found in store in this instance.

There's one mentioned here:

but I imagine it's been discontinued.
