Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

System

Thanks for the comments about the Aldi's versions of SoCo and Malibu. Looks like I use mySupermarket app to find the best buy of the branded stuff

I go into M's once a fortnight to check on their meat and fish offers as it's very good quality. It will be interesting to see how the price match is going to work.

Here's how the price match will work:

I spotted the lidl advert in the paper and found it really amusing and oh so true.

Worth taking the time to read all of it.

Excellent advert

We visited a new larger Aldi today which is about 50% larger than our local one. A much wider range of products and the offers are on shelving, rather than the wire bins.

With an almost full trolley we were expecting a three figure bill. It was nowhere near.

Aldi are working their way round smartening up their stores so it'll probably come to your local one sooner or later.

I love it!! Yesterday both Aldi and Lidl were advertising in yesterday's Times. I'm delighted that the snobbery is being taken out of food shopping and the big four are having to stop treating us like mugs.:D

I treat my DH to an Aldi product I haven't noticed before. From the chiller - a Half rack of ribs with a Bourbon glaze. Not cheap at £2.49 for a single serving but he savoured every last mouthful and declared it one of the tastiest meals he's had in a long time!

Really? Good Quality? mmmmm I don't think so at least not in any of my local Morrisons stores, any meat I buy from there arrives in a sweaty vac pack and is then cut up by one of the government slave apprentices and palmed off as being lovingly selected and cut by a professional butcher! And the fish, wow don't get me started, fresh fish should not have a fishy smell yet every time I go into any Morrisons as soon as you walk in the front door as all you can smell is rotting fish! If that is your idea of quality then.................

I thought I'd try my hubby on the Aldi beer but not being a beer drinker myself could anyone tell me what I should be buying.

His preferences are John Smiths, Corona and Wychwood.

Any help would be great.

Love Aldi's strawberry and lime cider. Worth taking a punt if you're a kopperberg fan like me.
