    Yes they’ve been around for ages but the peanuts keep disappearing leaving only the choc covered raisins.

    It's a bit like the Dome sweets in Aldi. The peanut ones always disappear first.

    Found something to add to my "things to buy regularly from Lidl".
    Dont know if its a new line or I just havent noticed it before


    Mister Choc chocolate peanuts ( in blue bag ) 200g for 65p

    They have been doing chocolate peanuts for sometime.

    Try the Aldi version, the chocolate tastes better and is more even.

    But having said that, at Aldi, I failed to find either type on the shelf Friday in one of my local stores.

    Other way round in my local store, the raisins always go first, I have seen 2 full boxes of choc peanuts bags and no bags of raisins at all :(
  • Aldi choc hazelnut spread is a winner from me. It was next to a £3odd jar of Nuttella but less than a third of the price. I really like Nutella, but thought I'd try the Aldi one. It's amazing! Honestly can't tell the difference between the real Nutella & the Aldi version. Definitely a keeper.

    Weird isn’t it ? Wonder if it’s regional differences or down to what’s ordered ?
  • Tried to buy the special offer at Lidl this past weekend on apricots, from their back page offers, they never even received the order... Gutted.
    We did however get their £2.99 deal on red wine woop.
    Next week is cheese and we'll be stocking up...

  • £1-39 for 4kg of spuds in Aldi which is cheaper than buying smaller bags!
    It's okay if you've a family to feed but the only way I would use that many is by planting them, so although it might be a good buy I'm sorry Aldi but I will stick to my grocer.
    They might be more per kg but I can buy what I need which is not only cheaper but easier to carry home too.

    Sounds like my kinda thing. How much was it?

    I managed to get some harissa paste from Lidl. I think it was a seasonal offer but it was being sold at 75p down from 99p.
