  • Does anyone know if either Aldi or
    Lidl sell Tofu? (not made into any pseudo-meat products, just the plain unflavoured stuff). It always seems a bit expensive at the big supermarkets. I can get it cheaper at the Asian grocers but it's quite a trail to get there so not very convenient.

    They don't. Holland and Barrett do if you're purely wanting to avoid the big supermarkets

    No, it was purely price I was shopping for. Thanks though.

    I don't know whether I was unlucky with the two packs I bought, but Aldi's Eccles cakes seem to have 'gone off'. I found the fruit to be a sweet mush and the pastry on one side a solid mass, instead of flaky layers.

    Lidl's Gellatelli 'Stracciatella' ice cream is absolutely gorgeous.Just in case it's a new one on you (like it was for me) it's vanilla with little shards of dark chocolate.Need I say more??

    Bought some of the 'special' grapefruit and mint tonic from Aldi this week, it is really lovely and refreshing, I hope they bring it in as a regular line - 39p a litre.
    Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!
