    [Aldi Low Fat Greek Yogurt 4x125g, 99p, Strawberry/Lemon/Coconut & Vanilla]

    Are you still getting those? We haven't had them since the end of last year.

    In fact, the yummy coconut flavour appeared, and then the whole lot disappeared a couple of weeks later.

    These were back in Aldi today. :beer:

    Only a few left, and it was only mid-morning, so I wonder if it's a line which regularly runs out, rather than being de-stocked?

    Aldi filtered milk seems to have dropped in price to £1.09 for 2 litres. Identical to Cravendale (both made by Arla), but very considerably cheaper.

    Tastes no different from ordinary fresh milk, but keeps for 7 days after opening, with a long use by date.

    We don't have filtered milk in our Aldi. I assumed they stopped doing it as I've not seen it for over a year.

    Awww.......someone reassure me that Aldi haven't stopped doing their lovely frozen duck legs in various sauces; my local store hasn't had them for a month or more :(


    they are still available in my local store - but the packaging has changed.

    Last year I picked up some lovely spring hanging baskets from Aldi. Does anyone know when they might make a reappearance?

    Disappointed with Aldi at the moment.

    Needed some Zip lock freezer bags, Pride Oven cleaner and Bakewell tart, all advertised as being in store on Thursday. I went early Friday morning and couldn't find these items, asked the staff and she said 'must have sold out'.
    I find that hard to believe,especially when my daughter told me they had stacks of them at another branch!

    My Aldi store is only a small one but I can usually find all I need.:mad:

    No Porridge Oats in the Bromsgrove Aldi store today either and I wanted some because I love it (I eat it all year round).

    Mum has introduced me to their jars of Fairtrade Coffee so I picked one up today. I usually drink Dowe Egberts Pure Gold but it is expensive and it isn't always easy finding bargains.

    I picked up some Xmas cards for 99p and a chocolate Santa for 39p. I also managed to get a box of biscuits for £1.39.

    Aldi have started selling filtered milk too which is cheaper than Cravendale (not opened it yet though as I still have Cravendale to drink).

    That Fairtrade is £1.99 for 100g isn't it ?

    Douwe Egberts never costs me more than £1.87 per 100g.

    Occasionally ASDA has it cheaper (on a special roll back or BOGOF offer) but FARMFOODS has had it at £3.95 for the 190g jar for months and months and months.

    I do a £25 shop and use one of their regularly offered £2.50 off £25 coupons making everything I buy at a 10% discount ...

    ... making the Douwe just £3.55 a jar

    and 1kg of Tate&Lyle Cane sugar just 45p a bag

    and the 675ml bottle of Cussons Morning Fresh WUL a mere 53p

    1kg SUGAR at the moment is just 49p at ALDI
    (well it was at mine yesterday)

    and anyone interested in the DOUWE EGBERTS Pure Gold - £2.97 in ASDA (the "BIG" 190g jar)
