Sure can. It's got a sort of blue mountains landscape pic on it and says Chilean Sauvignon Blanc Central Valley. Oh and it has a screwtop for easy access!

I have to agree there! The orance ones a delicious, as are the raspberry ones. So much nicer than the expensive mainstream brand Jaffa Cakes.

Asda Smartprice Beans taste way nicer than Heinz. I used to give my son Heinz until money problems now Smartprice all the time. He actually now won't eat Heinz beans.

you lot are sooo missing out by now trying lidls GORGEOUS vanilla ice cream i was round my mums and she had some in the freezer, cant explain how good it was yumm yum yummy it even had flecks of vanilla in it and tasted like it was made with double cream drool......

Oh, yes forgot about Lidl ice cream, it's better than Ben and Jerrys and the other posh one and it's cheaper too (about £1.99 for 2l)

Lidl do a frozen packet of brie in breadcrumbs to deep fry or oven cook. I've used them as dinner party starters and everyone raved about them.

They also do a cheap cream cheese (philadelphia type) in a low fat and regular fat. I've used both for cheesecakes or toppings.

There are whole aisles of Lidl that I by pass, eg I've never rated their washing powder of washing up liquid. Anyone founf good alternatives for Ariel Colour?

Mado

getting annoyed by the minute... no LIdl in my area.
On the posher side though Waitrose does the best EVER low fat fruit yoghurt (seriuosly fruity). The green pack contains the outstanding blackcurrant flavous which is in very high demand in my house.

Sainsbury's Basic Tomato Sauce (ketchup) is as good as Heinz. The normal own-brand is too vinegary!

Asda's own self tan - £3 a bottle. Better than Boots at £9 a bottle. No streaks - Got rave reviews in the Guardian!!!
