    I've also seen Jeeves on sale in Iceland.

    The shop or the country?

    Just bought a bottle of Austin's and a bottle of Apice at the weekend. We haven't tried the Austin's yet but we had some Apice last night on ice and hubby assured me that it tastes very much like Aperol. Very nice - I will have to stock up.

    The Aperol substitute is excellent. Tastes like Campari.

    I bought a bike track pump from Aldi yesterday and it broken already, the thing is only held together with tiny screws. It will be going back for a refund.

    Ditto, I have the stand up pump and the pumpy bit has bent and buckled and won't push down properly. I don't have the receipt but I do have a credit card statement showing an Aldi purchase, will that be ok?
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Noticed the prices of many items creeping up in Aldi.

    Milk now more expensive than Tesco. Strong bread flour gone up. Wraps gone up. Small pizzas too, grated cheese. Lots more I could list. All only a few pence price rise, but it takes a couple of things above the Tesco price. Methinks its becoming too popular...

    I would agree, noticed the prunes went up by 30p when the box changed shape! :( I haven't bought them since

    Milk more expensive than Tesco? Not round here - must presumably be a regional thing.

    Tesco is the most expensive for milk in my neck of the woods.

    Give it a try, its the next best thing if you don't have the receipt.
