Aldi Super 6 for 02/03/17-15/03/17

Cauliflower
Swede
Onions 1kg
Parsnips 600g
Chanteney Carrots 500g
Leeks 500g

All 45p!

Hello all!:)

I think that means the Swede has gone up in price - wasn't it 39p on the last Super 6 that included it?:think:

Swede in M:rotfl: is allegedly 50p, but the ones I had were tiny. I know it's not price collection day but I have done a bit of prep. today and I have some good items indeed (details soon - I bet few people will have them in their store now:rotfl:). I picked a store for some regional items that I do not expect to have tomorrow as I could do with seeing before and after to guess if they are on on Wednesday - only seeing them on Thursday would give no clue as to whether they have only just gone onto their prices on Thursday. Just a couple of stores today - the first might have had one of the items but didn't so I stopped off at a second store for that - and, of course, got lots more than I ever had in the first:rotfl:. It's the start of a three day collection - though it won't take all of the three days - I'll have a different store on Thursday to see if the items that I only have today are still on offer.:cool:

Oh, I have tried the LED ones, and took them back out, would prefer to pay 2p extra for my electric and have the nicer sort of light. Each to their own....but 71 :eek: You have a downlight fetish or something?
(Although I might get some of the wider beam ones for the bathroom if ever I see them cheap enough)

We had put LED in the boys room, but the light from 3 bulbs was poor) but we have LED outside which works outside.

71 fetish.... SSM has a fetish!

I bought my Maybelline foundation today in Boots. There were 4 to choose from and there were no prices up. Trust me to pick the cheapest....£5.99. Hopefully it'll be ok for work:)
