Anyone got a handle on how much I'm looking at for these? Can I get a can of chopped tomatoes for 35p for instance? Thanks.

Basic chopped tomatoes are 31p but they also have a more expensive brand (45p) of flavoured tomatoes (garlic&onion, chilli). These are a little less watery than the the basics but I've just noticed that they have added sugar.

I've got some in the oven at the moment atop their new seeded ciabatta from the bakery.

News flash: I have it on good authority (my Mum) that the tomato pur!e is OOS nationwide.

Hi Davey jp, can I ask where you heard this? Wouldn't be at all surprised but would be interesting to see how they manage to withdraw it without a deluge of negative comments!

Edit: looks like it's John Lewis restricting their free coffee and cake offer, not waitrose (as yet;)

Bought the active fat free vanilla yoghourt from Aldi today for dd to try

You are right, Waitrose are not stopping the free coffee. It is John Lewis. The chairman of Waitrose was recently saying that despite the huge take up of the offer the extra spend by these new customers in store makes it cost effective. Does not sound like they are dropping it anytime soon.

I think they are about 34p in Aldi currently

maybe not meant to say on this thread - poundstretcher 29p at the moment

Aldi's chopped tomatoes are nicer than Lidl's (a bit watery unless you go for premium). sorry, don't remember the local prices but probably the same elsewhere:(

Anyone know if Aldi`s nappies are any good. Daughter has been using Asda`s but would like to save some money.

Their Mamia nappies are excellent. used to buy them to keep in my house as 'spares' for when the grandbabies came to visit. Their mums soon discovered they were just as good as Pampers and Huggies and my shopping trolley got loaded with packs of these for the grandbabes.

Thanks for a fast reply.

Aldi Mamia nappies used to be the best around but they recently "improved" them and I think they aren't as good, the sticky tab isn't as sticky and often pulls off when you are trying to get them on.
