    Just thought I'd add to the Aldi good/great list for mhoc. We've been forced to shop at Aldi recently as I can't make it around A's or T's as they are too big & I get completely breathless & sweat profusely. I have to stop half way around Aldi, it's that bad & ask hubby to get off his scooter & let me sit. Been tested for COPD - all OK & waiting for ECG/XRays & Bloods - so Yes, I have been to docs. Anxiety is all they have come up with at the moment?? BUT I'm not anxious, except about hubby's so far wait for knee replacement for 3.5yrs, likely to be 4.5yrs+:eek: plus his back (4 vertebrae damaged out of alignment) that the recent steroid injections made worse.

    Anyways here is what I've found in Aldi that we think is very good.
    Ginger Nuts 25p - fiery 'proper' ginger biscuits, better than any others on market.
    Semi skimmed milk UHT 1lt 49p. Nice & creamy
    Ordinary 4 pt semi skimmed 89p
    Orange Juice with bits 59p - nice!
    Their chips - steak ones 1.5Kg for 89p
    Chunky chips 1.5kg £1.75
    Ham trimmings 400gm - Tasty & half the time full slices £1.65
    Seasoned sausages pk 6 thick 80% meat - nice & don't shrink. £1.29
    Chilled potato selection (with cheese) Very, very moreish 89p
    Vegetable Spring Rolls 4pk 85p
    Steak family pie £1.79 - very tender chunks of meat, well filled.
    Creamy coleslaw - Nice, not too peppery as some are. 59p
    Fig Rolls 34p - good amount of figs inside.
    Fruit lattice pies 99p for 4 - Omg!These beat Mr Kipling anyday. Well filled with plum & cherry & so moreish BUT filling too.
    S.S. Meusli £1.59 - the exotic fruits is by far the superior. Yummy!
    Quiche £1.99 We like both varieties, the caramelised onion I Love!
    Liquorice allsorts 49p - tastes same as best named brands.
    Delight Bites 79p - just like Sun Bites. The Chili just a bit hotter.
    Vegetable Crisps £1.29 - OMG these are excellent, we first saw in US & got addicted there. Parsnip, beetroot etc. - Try them!
    Stackers 89p - like Pringles but thinner crispier - we liked.
    Turkey Salami - can't remember price - VERY yummy indeed.
    Farmhouse seeded batch bread 99p - very nice, was surprised it was white bread on packet, loads of seeds throughout.

    I must admit we've both been pleasantly surprised. Our shopping bill has gone up due to not getting whoopsies as not going to A's T's or S's. Plus we're buying things we probably shouldn't in Aldi's to try (our last shop there was £53 but £15 on milk alone) However I'm trying to get our stocks down in the freezers, which really needs to be done as 1 I think is a bit on the blink (thankfully smallest one).

    HTH some of you.

    Great post,

    Thanks to WishI'dReadSooner & Mhoc!

    I shall add it to the 2nd post Reserved for Locarr :)

    Hope everyone is well. So sad to hear what has occurred in Paris.

    :rotfl: Went into A this morning just a few items I wanted and used 3 APG and 3 CGS coupons, CGS went through fine the Apg was entered manually but then a supervisor was called as I had an APG of £2.26- apparently all APG over £2 have to be authorised:eek:
    ....but do you know why Asda are being cautious the Sa says to us?
    No why?

    Well the other week there was this person who had a trolley of pot noodles bought just before midnight ....

    Oh really and what is the significance in that I asked

    Well they had a huge APG ---£100

    I chuckled and said how ever does that work? SA then had to see to another customer.


    I wonder who had all the pot noodles???:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Evening

    If that is true then I don't think it's funny.Its spoiling things for everyone else.
