    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.:(

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

    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 :(

    Some things you get what you pay for
    Aldi decaf seems fine to me.

    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.

    What is the bourbon whiskey like in Aldi or Lidl. I have both shops 5 mins away and a friend likes bourbon whiskey. Would anyone recommend them. Thanks

    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.

    Yes, Lidl has Hortus in at least 2 other flavours year round.
