Good and Bad Buys from Aldi & Lidl *Do NOT Expire Please*

System

Have issues with shelf life with Aldi
Lidl - is about 85% successful

I buy most of my F&V from Asda. The Lidl stores near me are a PITA to get to. Hopefully one should be built about a mile and a half from here next year. I will be able to walk if I'm not buying heavy stuff..

I get more value for money at Asda for the F&V as I use all of it instead of 10p less and binning a third of it.

Has anyone come across any of the posh Jo Malone lookee likee candles in Aldi yet? Three 'flavours @ £3.99 whereas the JM ones are £44 :eek: Supposedly Aldi are going to be stocking them all the time now but they seem hard to find.

Yay, found some today in the Meanwood, Leeds Aldi. Loads of No 1 and No 3 but No 2 scarce - had a few if you rummage thro the trays.

Got:

No 1 - Lime, Basil & Mandarin &
No 2 - Blackberry Bay

Yes they do smell wonderful!!!

(not too keen on No 3 though)

They had some in my Aldi today. They weren't in the middle aisle but on a shelf by the cleaning materials.

Never had much of an issue with F&V from Aldi / Lidl can keep things such as onions, peppers etc days/weeks after their BBF. Fruit no problem either.

Aldi today went to see if they had the candles that everyone online is raving about, they had about 5 boxes of assorted
Pomegranate Noir
Blackberry Bay
Lime/mandarin/basil
Had to search through a lot of Blackberry Bay for the othe 2 fragrances which must be most popular.
Got the lime/mandarin will try it soon and post back

Can anybody tell me what dairy-free milks are sold in Aldi please?

I am aware of the UHT soya milk and almond milk. Are there any fresh ones, or other types of UHT?

Noted that butter prices have gone up again in both Aldi and Lidl, wth Aldi being abit cheaper by a few pennies.

Might start looking for butter in other supermarkets who have a good offer going on as the prices between both are getting close to each other.
