You can review just about any Aldi product on their web site...

I think it only shows a fairly limited subset of the products they sell though (for example only 7 yogurts listed).

https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/product-range/fresh-bakery/yogurts/

MySupermarket seems to show a lot more (49 yogurts)

and, though I've not noticed it before, you also appear to be able to post reviews - though obviously you won't get a response from Aldi!

Went in to Aldi for ground coffee today, and came out with 4 bars of Mint Crème chocolate. No coffee.

Yummy fail.

I was looking at this week's offers...is it my imagination or has the price of the West Country butter and Spire Valley cheese gone up? I'm sure I've bought both for less than the proce of the offer previously.

There have been better offers but anything under £2 for 350 g is ok for me. Regular price has gone up I think.

If they opted in for giving farmers more for milk that might be the reason. Or they don't and just go up with their prices anyway ...

The VS Vintage Cheddar is down to £5.40/kilo so £1.89 for 350g pack and I think it is one of the best tasting cheeses I have had for a long time

The Pine Toilet Gel from Aldi, that I've been buying for years, now comes in a different shaped bottle - and the gel it contains has changed too. I assume it's from a different supplier but I won't be getting it again. It's so thin and weak it's not worth buying.

It is that time of year when products seem to change and not for the better.

Noticed a change in the Laundry Gel, that is thinner now. Also the Prawn Cocktail crisps taste awful lately, no flavour on them and dry tasteless crisps. So much so they were my favourite and now I'm going to stop buying them.

Oh and its the annual mourning of BBQ sauce which this year was very nice indeed.
