    It depends on your list. There's only one thing I can't get at Aldi, and that is vegetable stock cubes.

    My ALDI does them in a green box :)

    Can't find Almond milk in ours, just soya. It'll probably take a while for it to travel this far!
    Interesting that you've been told the staff will look in the store room, I've always been told that they don't have one.
  • Yes, like Camelot I thought that part of how they kept costs down was using the shop floor for the storeroom. I know they have a small unloading space, as they're always unpacking things when we go so perhaps they do keep a few things back there.

    I find a good few things seem to be England only, and maybe vice versa.
    I did see soya milk the other day but I don't like it.
    The RV liked the smoked mackeral -_pale_ and I stayed out of the kitchen while he ate it.
    This week I'm staying at home and giving him a wee list - this is going to be fun :D

    I saw almond milk for the first time in my local Aldi, so perhaps they are rolling it in gradually. I guess they have to get rid of something else to make room for new items. The hot smoked salmon is very acceptable if you are a fish-eater that is! One thing to avoid is a soft continental cheese which looks like brie, smells like brie and tastes like nothing at all. I took it back for a refund.

    Agree the camembert is good and I'd suggest you try the Gorgonzola Dolce. It's similar to Dolcelatte.
