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

robrymond

Aldi have shrunk the small bags of sweets to 75g from 95-125g each but have dropped the price from 33p-26p.

The new vegetarian sweets are quite nice but at 79p for 160g are more expensive.

So we've tried Nicky and agree 100% that it's not nice.

Once the 9 rolls have gone, we'll vote with out bums and try something different.
I seem to remember that Aldi had some 4 ply quilted rolls.
Anyone tried that?

Yes, tried them, Aldi's 4 ply quilted - and all the ones I've tried - are great.
I bought a jumbo pack of 16 Morrison's 'luxury' toilet rolls via Amazon Pantry, to avoid filling up my trike with a bulky product, and I wish I'd only tried four. They aren't the worst I've tried, but a long way off Aldi's 'Saxon' rolls. The shea butter ones scent the bathroom/WC slightly.

I really wish they did pods for Tassimo machines! It always seems to be for the nespresso-style machines

I'm almost certain Lidl do Tassimo compatible pods.

Is that the soft dog biscuits? Aldi do a version and it gave my dog terrible problems.

Yes that's the one.

At my own request I got a Gillette Fusion 5 blade razor for Xmas and although the shaves are superb, the cost of replacement blades are expensive to say the least. Today in Aldi, I spotted their version of the 5 blade, and at £3.99 for the razor, and the same for a 5 pack of replacement blades, this works out at around a quarter of the cost of Gillette replacements. I am wondering if anyone here has tried the Aldi version and if so, how do they rate them?

If they do I've never seen them, but I don't get the chance to visit more than every few months so it could be they are new? Does anyone know for certain? And is this only in special stores or larger stores or all stores?
