I'm not quite sure, but if you post something slightly off-topic I'm sure one will be along in seconds.

Check the calorie count, on a recent holiday to Italy I really struggled to find any soda drink that was sugar free or low calorie.

Checked, well the red orange one, anyway.
It's not too high in calories or sugar - loaded, approx 53 calories for a 250 ml serving. Tastes lovely too.

So? How many months a year do you holiday for this to be a problem? Did you not drink out of glasses or do you carry around cinema-sized containers?

If you're thirsty drink some water. If you want some fizzy pop drink a glass of fizzy pop.

I agree, save calories, drink water - enjoy an Italian soda, you'll have to put up with sugar. TBH that's why they are so tasty, sweeteners always give me the chemical aftertaste, yuk.

Has anyone bought the Face oils on special offer this Sunday (Aldi)? I wonder if they are nice as I love the original French Nuxe oils but they are hugely expensive...

Kitty's verdict is thumbs up for the revamped Aldi cat food pouches, slightly different flavours and new design on boxes for the same price of £ 1.95.

I didn`t expect it, last Thursday of the month, 30th April next Thursday.:beer:

Think you might be disappointed. The Aldi pullout was in The Mirror on Thursday as usual, with all the money off coupons, but no £5 off voucher. Can't see them doing another pullout this week.

I will be very disappointed.

Is it not the 4th Thursday of the month , so sometimes but not always the last Thursday ?

I posted about these the other day, I'd recommend them

Aldi are doing Lacura Face treatment Oil on Sunday, last time it was out I was suffering from skin that was dry & had actually split a wee bit at the top of my nose eyebrow bit, I used this for a few day's & it cleared it right up, so worth getting (even if you don't get scabby like me) it's £3.99 https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sun-19-apr/product-detail/ps/p/lacura-face-treatment-oil-1/

I bought my cat his usual Vitacat pouches in Gravy and the pouches were different - plain with just a printed part (which in some pouches was impossible to read). and a couple of them upset his stomach. I wont give details but, I do NOT want to cope with that again! I suspect they were substituted from the cheap range which I don't buy. if the next lot are the same they are getting donated to local cat rescue and I wont buy any more.
I am not happy as for the last 18 months he has enjoyed this range - and the price is about half of the usual ones he will eat! its the only 'supermarket' pouches he would eat.

Yes, you scream out "RED" at the top of your voice and get soundly ignored.

Failing that, you PM redfox

Today's instalment of the great Aldi Cheese Saga...

Aldi Mini Bavarian Brie (Blue variety)

Absolutely delicious - soft and creamy with a very subtle blue flavour. 99p bargain (proper Cambazola Blue Brie is about twice that price in other supermarkets).
