    The Lidl Deluxe Supremely Nutty Muesli is excellent.
    It has been on offer at £1.79, but the usual £1.99 is still very good.

    How sweet is it? I like the sweetness of Alpen but would like one with more nuts in. Thanks.

    The Wagyu burgers and the venison grillsteaks on offer in Aldi this week are both excellent. Had them this evening.

    I don't use the Lidl mashed potato, and Aldi doesn't do one.


    Yes it does!

    I didn't think this was a sugary muesli? I thought it might be an interesting addition to chocolate flapjacks.

    Eta: using 1/2 price Lidl dark chocolate, of course ;)

    Aldi does frozen mash for about 3 months every year, no idea why its so seasonal but its very good when you want a quick meal because you are tired.

    The Aldi 'crunch' cereal is amazing and super cheap. Chocolate or Maple/ Pecan... yummmmy

    That's right and it's not like Alpen.
    minimad1970 - I know what you mean about the Alpen sweetness. You could add demerara sugar for the sweetness.
    It's really nice with Greek style yoghurt (Lidl have put their 4 packs up 10p to £1.09!!). Top the yoghurt with the muesli and then top it all with honey (and or demerara sugar) - a nice breakfast or dessert.
    But it is full of whole / large nuts and pieces (as well as fruit).

    Does it contain banana chips? Uugh!

    I like the M&S one....or rather I did before I stopped eating carbs. Since then, I buy it on offer and use purely for baking purposes. ;)
