Good and bad buys from Aldi and Lidl

MINCE PIES WITH GOOD DATES! I got 12, £1 or something, but from ASDA, fabulous date on them, like in the New Year, I bought them and stashed them!

I've yet to find a packet of Aldi SS mince pies which have a date beyond 26 Dec. Aldi haven't picked up on the fact that people pick up a packet here and there and put them in a cupboard for the Cmas season.

I think mine were dated 5th Jan 15. Its a distant memory, they've all gone now

Are others getting YS items from their Aldi, I was told at our local that they aren't allowed to reduce short coded that it all gets returned to warehouse.

Ours has 30% off items and 50% off depending on the BBD /UBD. They do sometimes move items from one store to another to reduce them, I believe, if something hasn't sold at full price at a store in one area, it may be moved to another area to be sold reduced. Our store had a large amount of baby stuff reduced to pennies, which was very useful for me as my friend has just had her first grandchild.

I've decided to change my grocery strategy a bit this month. I am spending far too much at Lidl's and I have loads of money left on my T clubcard....as we don't need anything from the Catalogue department and I have already bought my Christmas wine with the card I have to go into the store and check what I can actually get there for the same spend first and then go get the products I will not compromise on, like the big pots of plain yogurt, fresh bakery, meats, from Lidl. I feel like a traitor, lol.

How refreshing that the things you won't compromise on come from Lidl!!:D


Just a thought but might it be better to use your clubcard for any reductions after Christmas/Christmas Eve if you've got freezer space?

Have you looked at the dates in other supermarkets? Same thing applies to them.
