Good and Bad Buys at Lidl and Aldi stores (***Please don't expire***)

From Aldi marked as new product, Churros with hazelnut choc sauce and cinnamon sugar - delicious!

Though the box said it contained 5 servings.  I'd say good for two people to share but could have done with more choc sauce.

I got a couple of boxes in a TGTG bag a while ago. They have sat idly in my fridge ever since. Don't see a date on the pack.

Those Lidl cones Rosa. We buy them, and the mint+choc ones are nicest. The vanilla+nuts ones are a close second, the others are teeth-itchingly sweet

The Aldi version of those seems to have had a change of maker and specifications, as some of their flavours have got sweeter and not as good quality.

That’s true harz. I get icecream tubs from Aldi but cones and magnum ripoff jobbers from Lidl. Not as keen on the ripoff magnums since they started adding ‘bits’ to the outer choc coating. Sweeter now and more carbs…

First trip to Aldi for a big shop in a while. Managed to spend £84 so no less than Sainsbury's. Was amusing seeing things that are on Sainsbury's Aldi match that are more expensive in Aldi such as mixed peppers and the Fajita kits. 

Very disappointed by the pizza base though, this used to be circular and would rise when cooking. Now it's square, quite tasteless and stays flat.

Noticed what a mess my local store was though, all the new electronic labels were either on the floor or on the wrong display.

Lidl's icecream is hands down better than Aldi's.
