Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

viv0147

I normally buy Heinz Beans or Branston Beans but I have decided to try the basic beans in Morrison’s / Tesco / Lidl / and Aldi! So I’ve bought one tin of each to try so it will be interesting to see if any of the value beans are nice enough to have on a regular basis if so it would be quite a big save what are the opinions of the group and suggestions. Thanks

The only baked beans I will eat other than Heinz are Aldi's branded beans

I prefer the Corale (Aldi) baked beans to Heinz - they are really nice! so is their Ravioli so the grandkids tell me. and there seems to be a lot more ravioli to sauce than other brands.

Aldi brioche bread rolls. Definate thumbs up and ideal with the pulled pork.

Lamb and Mint burgers are back, no choccy digestives!

I'll find out how good the ostrich steaks are tomorrow!

I've just seen the most brilliant ad - people buying quality fruit and veg from a market stall and being v pleased with the prices. The surprise factor - when the goods are handed over they are in Lidl bags.

Although I didn't note any charge for the bag

Cornucopia

Apparently the ad is based on a highly successful PR stunt they arranged in Sweden.

They opened a posh restaurant (called Dill - an anagram of Lidl) and made all the dishes with Lidl-sourced ingredients. It was a huge success and then they revealed where the produce came from.

Are these the bags of pain au lait? My DH loves and I was planning to do pulled pork soon so thanks for the tip.

According to my cat - the Lidl DRY cat food is superiour to Aldi's Vitacat. I must trust her judgement as I'm not going to try them

If you are near a Lidl - then their pulled pork is on the half price offers this weekend ( 13/14 sept )

Branstons are frequently on offer at Lidl at 4 for £1 , so I normally stock up then.
