Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

Not a grocery query, but can anyone recommend the heated clothes airer on promotion at Aldi atm?

It's been lovely and warm here, so today was not the best day to test it, but if anyone has bought one previously, please advise? Looks much like the Lakeland version.

Eta: just found the answer to my question here, have bumped the thread.

Really?

I've been buying that regularly for the past 18 months or so and I can't get enough of it. For about 55p it's yet another Aldi bargain and I think it's absolutely delicious. I certainly don't find it has a horrible texture and the only aftertaste I get is of my gob craving more of it.

I bought this for the first time on Saturday and think its fab, only 55p too! a bargain!

Umming and arring about getting the soup maker from Aldi on Thursday. Its £35 and hopefully, its means less washing up .As I have a blender which I have to cook the veg up in the pan first.

Got 5 Aldis within 6 miles of here. Will go to any of them.

It's only 1 item less to wash up. Is it really worth £35 ? I batch cook soup and freeze it so a soup maker would be no good to me as it wouldnt be big enough.

I just make enough for 2 soups and box the other one up to eat within 5 days.

Same here. I usually make anywhere between 2.5 to 5 litres of soup at a time in my large crockpot. I then use a stick blender to blend it which cost me £5. Bargain!

Agreed. To me a soup maker would be a waste of space. The stockpot and stick blender are good enough.

Had a message that the £5 off £40 spend is in this Thursdays Mirror, I was considering the soup maker also, easy top up to £40, so will get 2 papers in case I splurge.
