    Aldi have introduced filtered milk and it's great. I think it was something like £1.29 for 2 litres. Ours had a 10 day ubd and the dregs are still fine 3 days over, as most filtered milk usually is.
    It's also British milk which the UHT milk isn't.

    Clancys mixed nuts at Aldi, not over salted, better IMO than Waitrose and half the price.

    Grandessa Strawberry Conserve (Aldi) is absolutely lush! Huge chunks of real strawberry in it too :)

    Only 99p for a 454g jar too :money:
  • Aldi 'perfect puds' chocolate puddings. Absolutely gorgeous,but I ditched some of the sauce (too much for me) and had some double cream instead.:D

    Aldi seasonal Dark Chocolate Lebkucken - 99p per bag.

    Very nice, and excellent VFM, too.

    Also the 99p Chocolate Liqueurs - I think I had some of these last year from Poundland, but they are very nice, with branded alcohol brands, too: Teachers, Courvoisier and Cointreau.

    Does anyone know whether Aldi do their own version of Aperol? I know they do Limoncello.

    Aldi;s Limoncello is only available in certain stores. I saw it at one Aldi and presumed it was in the others. Dad went into the one 12 min walk from us and didn't see it. I went to another one and didn't see it.

    On Thursday, I'm going to the Aldi I saw it in as there is a snood scarf on the special buys and it will form part of a present for Secret Santa at work
