Aldi's Vive Morello Cherry fizzy drink - around 35-45p for a litre. If you love Cherry Tango this is a cheap alternative

Bought the frozen salmon en croute in Aldi last week and they were very tasty, nice firm salmon and decent pastry. £1.99 for 2.

Also the Mexican Lime.

Add ice, a shot of white rum and a sprig of mint straight off the bush. It's Mojito time

avoid the Specially Selected Quiches

very thin filling , more like a tart, and the red onion one was really sweet tasting
