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

That's interesting about the Asda teabags being wrapped in foil. I used to have the Sainsburys Red Label (not decaff) but they stopped the foil packaging and made the boxes really flimsy. I had to store them in a tin. No big deal but irritating.:(0

I use the Tesco red label and they're still in foil packaging. The outside box is still fairly strong.0

Aldi decaf seems fine to me.Murphybear wrote: »We drink a lot of decaf tea. If funds are high we buy Dorset tea (or on special occasions Clipper). Otherwise Waitrose because it tastes good
I bought some Lidl the other day and wish I hadn't. It was weak and tasteless, a complete waste of money. It ended up in the bin

Don't know if anyone already mentioned this but Aldi have oven liners for £2, great for keeping bottom of the oven clean. The oven cleaning kits they do with a bag for the metalwork are good too.Mr Generous - Landlord for more than 10 years. Generous? - Possibly but sarcastic more likely.0

Just be careful with the oven liners, read the instructions before you buy, I bought 1 and its not suitable for the oven I have, unfortunately it was too late for me to return it.0 -
