Latest bottle of Aldi EE diet lemonade is horrible. Metallic aftertaste. ☹️
Usually very nice.
No mention of new recipe on the label.
A one off "bad" bottle, or has anyone else noticed a change too?
How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)1 -
Had the Lidl frozen basa fillets in salt and pepper crust. Very very nice but tiddly! The box suggested large pieces but the 2 fillets could have easily fit in a box 2/3 the size. Good thing we also had some scampi else OH would have stomped his little foot.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

But watch out for those supposed Tesco price matches. The quality is frequently inferior. The Tesco fruit, for example, will be Grade 2, and the ingredients will frequently be very different.Katiehound said:

Nothing wrong with grade 2 f&v. It does the job without the extortionate prices of top grade.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.5 -
I think the sale of Wonky veg is excellent. A wonky carrot just the same as any perfectly formed one!Rosa_Damascena said:Nothing wrong with grade 2 f&v. It does the job without the extortionate prices of top grade.5 -
Not if it's going rotten after a day like the carrots, or frost damaged like the potatoes full of black bits or going soft. There seems to be a lot of rubbish only fit for cattle food being fobbed off on us lately.Rosa_Damascena said:Nothing wrong with grade 2 f&v.
