Bought Aldi toastie bread yesterday, similar coloured packaging to Hubby's favourite Warbies toastie loaf but 45p compared to £1 for Warbies. Thumbs up from Hubby for Aldi's own, much nicer than own branded bread from Tesco or Asda and, in his opinion, as good as Warbies

I usually buy this one but it has been a bit hit and miss over the past few months. The bread is usually stale round the edges and more dry. if you get a good fresh batch then it is great bread. I think it is perhaps how it is stored out the back.

I would say yes to bread being stale by the way they store it outback.

My local Sainsburys has the same problem with its bread.

I stopped buying Sainsbury's bread because it went mouldy after a few days. I don't have that problem wit Aldi.

The pulled pork is chilled in a box, will buy again for when my son and his wife come for the weekend next month.

Why don't you all just buy a bread maker and stop buying artificial bread from supermarkets? Aldi do a bread maker for £29.99 then you have fresh homemade bread whenever you like. It's so easy to do, it's a no brainer.
I haven't bought a loaf in years.

Already do - and have been since Panasonic first introduced their breadmakers to the UK (at what now seems an incredible £200 back in the 80s!). Not what everyone wants to do, though, and we still like the occasional 'ordinary' loaf - which Aldi do very well.

Sorry, a bit off topic, but do you have a recipe. I have a bread maker and never use it as I can't make a decent loaf.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried the Aldi Moser Roth Mousse au Chocolat Sour Cherry-Chilli 85% cocoa chocolate - 5 individually wrapped bars?

Sounded interesting, but I found it quite unpleasant. The chilli completely swamped the other flavours.

Others may have a different view, perhaps?
