Fresh (whole?) leg of lamb joints at Aldi were £3-79/kg in our local Aldi, 20p/kg than they were in Lidl.

Huge organic lemons in Lidl at 50p each. Excellent for squeezing / cooking / drinks where fresh lemons slices are needed. Hope they stay on the stock list at Lidl.

I popped into a different branch of Lidl this lunchtime. Only 2 of the eight tills were open, and the queues were ridiculous. It made me realise I often see queues at Lidl, or perhaps the stores are just more cramped?

The queue management at Aldi is much better - this goes for all the branches I have visited. Somehow the staff seem quicker to hop on and off.

At my Aldi they announce that they are 'opening Till Number X for you' and then they call for a staff member to come to the till. It's a very efficient system.

It's that time of year when Aldi bring back some of their seasonal buys. Their own brand set honey in large jars has reappeared. I tried it this week and it really is lovely. Much, much nicer than Gales'. £1.25 I think.

The Aldi decaff teabags are back in my store, they were replaced by Tetley for a while.
No decaff instant coffee though there was plenty of decaff ground coffee.
It's a very mild coffee, ideal for those who don't like a strong, bitter drink.
Quark has been on and off for a while in Aldi but they are now stocking two types, vanilla and standard. The vanilla flavour was very, very mild, at least in the pot I tried. Both 75p.

Same at the revamped Lidl that opened a few months ago. Staff in Aldi have headsets too.

Are Aldi still stocking 'manuka' type honey?

I cant help thinking that those endless announcements must drive the staff mad though!

Does anyone know about the honey? Making a20 mile round trip at lunchtime so really want to know!
