    I can't find any better, which is why I keep shelling out for them.

    I find I can taste them on the food after using them on my saucepans. :o

    My Aldi was packed today and even with all the tills open, there were queues

    They have Cup Shots which have all the same flavours as Mug Shots and at 33p are a fraction of the price. Will report back later if they taste the same

    Had a choc chip brioche loaf for brekkie this morning.

    Definite winner.

    I really don't think Aldi is working out that much cheaper for us, you know. All those things we denied ourselves in Tesco as they were too expensive - like Brioche loaf - are being bought when shopping in Aldi as it's so much cheaper!!!!!

    Over past month I have become convinced that Aldi beats Lidl hands down.

    I still won't spend a fortune in either though, just because I don't buy much processed food. Mince pies being the notable exception ;)

    Same here and I felt so sorry for the young man managing the car park. The weather was truly horrendous. We've also got a load of new trolleys that don't need any coins/tokens.
