Moser Roth doesn't taste anything like Thorntons to me! Much better

I think you're right. There's certainly a similarity between these chocolates, though, and some that Thorntons produce. I was assuming that Moser Roth was just another made-up Aldi brand using different suppliers from time to time - but, unusually, Moser Roth actually exists! Even if it is produced just for Aldi!

Hi guys a few things I have learnt this week regarding Aldi:

I use a cal counter app and they scanned the Aldi items as:

Tortilla chips - Waitrose (they do taste the same!)
Oats - Tesco (more than double the price)

Also, the salted caramel fudge. Its from the fancy range. OMG the best fudge and a 1/4 of the price you would normally pay. Sells out in a morning in my aldi too. Would make a lovely treat or gift with Christmas coming

I'm finding that Lidl's green washing up liquid is very poor. The Aldi equivalent one is much better. Both are surpassed by Fairy liquid, but this is since Fairy have improved the formulation.

Totally agree, and it smells vile to me

Just had Aldi pork and toffee apple sausages (says new on them) and they were quite nice. Had chunks of Apple in them, sound horrible but I enjoyed them. Definitely a sweetness to them.

Managed to polish off a box of mini stollen from Aldi also. Funnily enough it's the first time I've had it and would get them again.

My son loves Aldi sausages. I've never tried them as there are never any left in the fridge when I look

I've had other sausages from there and I do quite like them, for the price they are very good value

Keep scanning and reporting back on items as you match them, please

Just looked at the special buys for Aldi. Can anyone recommend the air fryer? Does the end product actually taste nice given that so little oil is used?

10am and I am dreaming of chips

Out of curiousity, which app?
