    Oh. Having seen some heavy duty tools at Aldi, I thought this would be a real chainsaw.

    Nope.... real chainsaws etc.

    Something tells me they didn't fully think it through when they decided to combine the Halloween & DIY Specialbuys on the same date.

    Like this one: https://www.aldi.co.uk/gardenline-pole-pruner-chainsaw/p/078707169016900

    (Except I imagined something even more heavy duty.)

    It's OK, but cordless would probably be better for dealing with trick or treaters.....

    Agreed - even with an extension lead I run out of cable before I even get to the front gate ........

    .... but with a cordless .......

    .... you could chase them all the way down the street :D

    Although not quite the same, I find my cordless Hedge Trimmer does seem to achieve the same desired result :rotfl:

    I bought a pack of Aldi Foodie Market bars, think it was supposed to be muesli and seeds. It was awful, like compressed brown sludge. Had a smell that reminded me of hay. Into the bin sadly. Others may love them of course...

    Do you mean the "Paleo" bars? That is how they are supposed to be.

    The "sludgey" component is only Dates, so nothing to be concerned about.

    I just love the paleo Macademia and Coconut from Aldi! That date taste. Not sure if it isn't better value to get 907 grammes of actual Medjool dates from Costco, mind!

    I got the Nespresso compatible coffee pods from ALDI yest, n they take forever to pour compared to the usual pods. Still taste fab though 😁
