Anyone know if Aldi have stopped selling their Saxon moist toilet tissue wipes? Not seen them in my local store for a couple of weeks now.

Still on sale in my local one. However the sensitive non-fragrance version have disappeared.

12% Mince has disappeared again after a few weeks back on the shelves at Aldi.

Chickens are now priced per KG as well, £1.59 per KG for a small chicken rather than £2.29 by default.

I'm a little sick of the disappearing products this year, it happens every Christmas but this seems worse than usual especially as Aldi are rebranding everything.

Anyone seen the small tins of flavoured tuna ? They disappeared from my Aldi weeks ago and I'm not paying John West prices !

I mentioned this up-thread. They disappeared from my local Aldi weeks ago, and the whole section has been reorganised and moved, so that there will probably be no space for them to be re-introduced.

I found a similar product at a similar price in B & M, but haven't tried them yet.

My local Lidl are also stocking Newgate Seasoning mix sauces, haven't seen them for a while...and cheaper at 22pence. Though looking at the traffic lights..err.

No cupasoups in my Aldi any more - do you mean Lidl ("Newgate")?



These are Chicken & Veg (excellent), Tomato & Veg (excellent), and Minestrone (okay, but a little thin).

The Lidl Newgate ones are okay but I prefer the Aldi ones. They're still available in my local Aldi's as far as I'm aware. Haven't checked in a few weeks though as I have about 5 boxes stashed in my cupboard.

My store did have them way back (probably last Winter). They were unusual flavours like Tomato & Basil, Asparagus and the more common Mushroom. I don't recall the Chicken & Veg, but I may not have bought it if it had excessive salt.

Went to B & M and the only tins they had were John West

My local Aldi has multipacks of Ringos. Not at all healthy, but I had forgotten how nice they are.

I noticed this but it's not cheap, the standard £39.99. It has good reviews but I feel I've already wasted £25 on my Beldray, which is worse than useless.

Mine were "Ocean Fresh". Same small round tins as Aldi, 85g. Plain blue label with a colour-coded flash on the front for each different flavour.

I've tried one of them now, and it's very similar to the Aldi one, but not identical.

Will have to try another branch. How much were they ? The John west were 80g, £1.25 each or two for £2.
