Aldi Strawberries and Red Grapes this week are absolutely delicious! Both £1.39 so a good deal cheaper than other supermarkets.

Impossible to tell if they are "a good deal cheaper" if you dont give weights !

Tesco do 500g grapes at £1.25 & imperfect strawberries 400g at £1.29. Other good deals on grapes if you look, M& S basics are quite cheap and Iceland have 800g for £2. Also 2 for £3 on Strawberries last few weeks.

I picked up some of those red grapes last night they look good Looked at the strawberries they had but wasn't impressed enough to buy, however they only had 2 punnets which clearly had been left by other customers lol.

No Iceland or M&S near me, and I forswore Tesco many months ago. So partly by design, partly by necessity Aldi is really my main s/market with Morrisons for picking up things not obtainable at Aldi, with a monthly trip to Lidl to collect a few of the things I prefer from there.

No I didn't, did I. My Supermarket is a good place to check weights.

The German chocolates have disappeared from Lidl (schogetten and the 200g Ritter sport). I am cross.

What happened to the English cherries? Unbeatable for flavour, but Aldi only had them for a week or two before they went back to the inferior Turkish ones, and the local Lidl doesn't even stock cherries!

Waitrose is only round the corner, but that really shouldn't be necessary for English cherries at this time of year!

Tesco's are really nice and they are doing a cardboard tray at a special discount price . Even better, I got a tray of short dated cherries reduced to £3 and only two bruised ones to throw out.

Strawberries smothered in Creme Fraiche - yum!

Never had slimy mushrooms from Aldi but then I remove all plastic wrappings as soon as I get them home. Usually last a week or so in my fridge.
