I think they have supply issues with all the frozen chips as there was a price rise a few weeks ago on all chips and now they have all disappeared from my store replaced with Aunt Bessies for £1.99 a bag!

This is truly awful, never again, it tastes so cheap and nasty

You got the wrong one.

Watch out for the Cromwell small batch gin - very important as they have rebranded the cooking gin as Cromwell also.

This is not cheap, though, at around a tenner for a 1/2 bottle.

Normally im not bothered by brand, and have tried a range of products similar to Quorn; but this hands down is the worst. I can't describe it, but even.in a sauce it was inedible.I've yet to try the Meat free mince, which there is a bag of in my freezer!

It does surprise me how they can sell frozen chips cheaper than normal potatoes.

As I only recently started living near an Aldi, is their Stollen good? I've been meaning to buy one but I don't know whether to grab it from Sainsbury or try Aldi.

No idea - but I would be interested to know why people always seem to approach Aldi/Lidl with such mistrust. No-one ever asks he question the other way round -
" Is the Sainsburys stollen any good.? I 've been meaning to buy one but dont kow whether to grab one from Sainsburys or Aldi"

And as everyones tastes are different the only way you are going to find out if YOU like the Aldi stollen is to buy one !
