    I really scared an Aldi staff member a couple of weeks ago, by waiting behind her whilst she cleared a box, and then asking if I could take it.

    Or simply help yourself to one in the basket when a member of staff is doing a cardboard run.

    My store is quite clean & tidy compared to some - they don't leave the cage out on the shop floor when they are not using it.

    I sent them to my friends in Cambodia as part of their Christmas box. Glad they were a good choice.

    The check out girl at my local Aldi told me that people come back in and want a refund from the 3p carrier bags they had bought but never used ! Unbelievable

    One of next Thursday's Aldi specials is Lacura Hyaluronic Gel serum at £6.99. Has this been on offer before and, if so, has anyone used it and can they recommend it? It sounds rather tempting for the price compared to other serums.

    That is nothing! I was behind a customer at Sainsburys customer services because he forgot to hand in his 1p brand match coupon and demanded to have the cash!

    I bought the Aldi ones for DH today, he wanted to try them against the 'loaf' Stollen. I hope they're equally lovely.


    Had a bottle of the replacement for the Aldi discontinued Cremant de Jura tonight. Cheaper and quite passable, good fizz for a party. Will definitely buy again. I think it's called Cremant de Loire or similar.

    If the mini Stollen are of the standard of last year's, they are even nicer than the standard Stollen.
