  • It was £1.49 per jar but I don't rate it.
    It seemed insipid and then just the mouth burn of the chilli
    There was no depth of flavour.

    I've just grazed on 578kcal, in the form of this:

    27% hazelnuts, sugar even higher and doesn't even taste sweet. I shan't be buying it again as I clearly have no resistance :o

    The dark chocolate version is divine.
    A bar will last us a couple of weeks although if I go to bed and leave OH downstairs, it seems to disappear pretty quickly.

    Resistance is futile! :EasterBun

    I must admit I've had these before and have now limited myself to 1 bar per shop.

    Reminds me I'm going to Aldi tomorrow. Must only put one in my trolley. :A

    It is indeed :D


    If you like kinder bueno. Aldi do their own called spirals an ordinary one, coconut one and double chocolate one. Come in a pack of 7 individual bars for £1.20 ish. So the equivalent of 3.5 packs of the real thing. Which cost 60p for 2 bars in a pack.


    Yours

    Thankfully no Aldis here :)

    But lidl chocolate is oh so good as well, the Ritter bars seem to jump into my trolly when DH is shopping with me and it doesnt take long to demolish one
  • Aldi - Mamia baby powder has an overpowering scent and clogs the holes to the extent that very little comes out :(

    Back to the talc from Boots I think.

    The yellow vegetarian curry from lidl is lovely. I prefer the aldi tortellini chilled meal to kids. Lidl did some fab limited edition courgettes, vine leaves and aubergines stuffed with rice.

    The lidl coshida dried cat food looks exactly like go cat. Same shape of biscuits and it's 85p for 950g.

    Lidl do a lovely half bottle of chardonnay for 2.79.might be cheaper in England than up here.

    I miss the lidl high protein rolls.

    The spinach and ricotta ravioli chilled meal is lovely.

    My lidl do a reduced section just before closing. Everything 20 and 70p which is fab.
