    A bit odd to start a new thread but not close the old one (imho).
    Same board guide started a new thread that deleted a lot of posts here a few weeks back...

    I felt that moving this thread to 'Gone Off' was a bit like being put on the naughty step as mods didn't like any discussion of shortages or quality of customer service. The new thread is presumably acceptable  provided you only post about products.

    I didn't realise it had been moved to 'gone off' board.

    The 'gone off' board appears to be for
    Food offers that have expired live here. If you want to keep discussing them this is the place
    Some of the products discussed on the old thread are still available in Aldi/Lidl.

    I think they just start a new thread for it every now and then, maybe to stop it from getting too big?

    Though it'd make more sense just to close the old thread and link to the new one, instead of moving it to the "Gone off" sub-forum and leaving it open. I don't see the point in the "Gone off" section at all though...
