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

Cornucopia

Free Stollen Bites in my Lidl today.

Nothing free in my Aldi this morning sadly! However, it was very quiet and there was an awful lot of stuff (fruit, veg, bread & meat) reduced to half price. Unfortunately not a lot of which I needed, though I did pick up a couple of packs of chicken fillets reduced from £2,99 to £1.50 which I was happy about.

Lidl nappies... not a patch on Aldis and the same for baby wipes. Shant be buying them again.

Mentioned more than once but when Lidls changed their baby wipes part-way through last year it was a travesty. You had 80 of the thickest amazing things ever to 64 thin p!sswater things. New version produced in UK, Old ones where in Israel a think and clearly a pan-European product Lidl product. XXL weeks have still had the old version (100 instead of 80 packs) - the last couple of times so bought boxes at a time.

Don't buy the large 6.5kg packs of Almat washing powder that they currently have as a 'special item' at £8.99, e.g.

https://www.aldi.co.uk/almat-bio-washing-powder-6-5kg/p/064314006718200

they're around 20% more expensive (per kg) than the standard packs (2.6kg @ £2.99) which they sell all the time:

I was happy with them when I bought them, but it’s been quite some time since then.

That explains it. I’ll buy another pack tomorrow.

To my surprise - XXL week in our local Lidl and the Baby wipes (and things like giant XXL shower gel) etc all out so 2 boxes (24 packs) of the old 100-for-80 purple packeted wipes. (Aloe Vera ones are great!) Superb. Made my day.

If XXL in your shop get a pack of the purple packet and by the 'current' green 64pk one and night, dawn and day the difference.

I bought the Silvercrest Bluetooth Headphones from Lidl last week. Very impressed so far, and excellent VFM. £14.99

Just had an email from a friend who tried to return an electrical item to Aldi under their 3 year guarantee,store manager said nothing to do with us contact the manufacturer,he did this and they said no it's the stores responsibility,he went back to store and was given a refund as a "goodwill gesture" don't like the sound of this it sounds like wriggling out,I returned a dehumidifier to Aldi last year and didn't have a problem maybe things have changed.
