Why can't I find fresh spinach in Aldi?

Not impressed with their range of LF yogs. Need to increase their flavours in their Activia range. Only do strawberry, peach (ok but not keen), prune (yuk) or rhubarb (like).

They have recently moved all the stuff about ,supermarkets do this to increase sales, the spinach in my Aldi is now with the pre-packed salad items.

Are they activia or aldis version of activia?
Reason I ask is I didnt think activia did the prune & rhubard in the fat free version, but if aldi do a look a likee fat free, I will make a trip there for prune & rhubarb!

Aldi's version

Aldi's Torchon Ham - fine tasting stuff, and Aldi's version of Mars Bars (forgotten the name as not bought them for a while!).

I think they are called Titans. Also Racers are great (just like Snickers):)
