We got a frozen black forest cheesecake from Lidl which we started last night. Not particularly nice - the outside edge was a nice chocolate cheesecake but further in the cherry flavour was quite artificial. I'm not a fan of BF gateau in general but OH loves them but even he said this wasn't very good. Only about £2 or something so not the end of the world, will likely be chucked if not eaten today.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

As @Katiehound said, no big reductions on Christmas stock in my Aldi but I did get some jars of 'Christmas' dried sage at 29p and chopped lazy garlic for 49p plus I was there at the right time for many meat and fish packs reduced between 30 and 75% off. 👍1

Milk chocolate digestives, I usually buy them from Lidl and they're fine,last week I bought some from Asda and they were horrible,left a vile after taste,they went in the bin,these are own brand not McVities0

Aldi have their usual January stock of Gullon no added sugar biscuits. 99p each, and displayed in a brand-specific shelf unit.
I like the Oat variety, although the pack picture is possibly not the most accurate (they are not like Hob-nobs at all).0 -
Aldi still piled high with mince pies today! ( and puddings,) they are not getting desperate....yet!Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
