I wasn't impressed with the lobster very small didn't taste of much.

Did you have previous experience to compare it with? I think it might be a bit boring wherever you buy it...just my thought. I will get a crab if they still have some, crab pate is lovely and fairly easy to make.

Yesterday I picked up some Aldi Crunchy Granola Bars (Maple Syrup). They're clearly a copy of the Nature Valley bars, but much much better - seriously yummy!

If you ask me the reason that this thread keeps moving is in the top left there is a button post reply and next to it is expired. Someone is clicking expired instead of post reply.

Is the crab dressed, I wouldn't know where to start if it wasn't , probably poison everyone with dead man's fingers!

The really cheap ones in the white packet? We thought they were horrid, maybe they changed their supplier since we tried them...Lidl's are good, for now we'll stick to those

Vitacat midrange pouches have gone up in price by 10 p (Aldi). Still good value and lots of choice.

Agreed!

I only bought Scotts for years as it was my childhood porridge. Eventually tried the Aldi porridge when I was debt-busting and I couldn't believe how much nicer and creamier it was. Only buy Aldi porridge now.

Haven't tried the Everyday cheapie one but I hear it's not great. No, I love the normal one. I think it's about £1.20 or so for a box or you can get a 10-pack of sachets for a quid. It's yummy!
