  • Aldi Munch Bars - these disappeared from my old local Aldi some while ago, and I've been reacquainted with them with the opening of the new Aldi.   They are like Cadbury's Brunch Bars used to be before they got really small.  

    And now they seem to have disappeared from the new Aldi...   :(
    These are a staple for my husband. Although our Aldi shuts this weekend for a refurb so I’ll have to hope the Munch Bars are still there on reopening.

  • Saw the cheap mince pies in my local Lidl this evening but no other Christmas goodies...yet. 
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.
  • I’m sure it’s way too early for some (perhaps most) but I bought mince pies in Lidl today! One may have already been consumed….
    One?
    I admire your self restraint 😄
  • Does anybody have the flavoured instant coffees in their local Aldi at the moment? (the hazelnut/caramel Beanies type jars)

    They have disappeared from my local store, not even a shelf label where they used to be, but they are still showing on their website.

    It’s now one box down 😂 However, I’m on a self-imposed ban until October as I don’t want to be mince-pied out too early!

    An offer for all those Fruit & Veg fans amongst us...  50% off all Apples at Lidl (via app).

    I did see then a couple of weeks ago when looking flat the shelf. It wouldn't surprise me if stick was being run down to make way for  Christmas goodies and that this is one of the first lines that gets culled.

    Today in Aldi

    Not food!
    Some garments: Boho dress, linen trousers. viscose trousers- small & large sizes- 49 pence each

    Travel packing bags (not cubes) black or cream -49 pence each- just checked- actually 5 bags! but zip jammed on the largest
    Worth a look at their " Summer Sale" section

  • The Sauce Shop -  Buffalo Sauce - 49p (reduced from £1.99). They also had some Burnt Pineapple flavour before reduction, but I missed out on those
    Mr Freeze Strawberry Fizzy Pop - 9p for a 2L bottle (!)

    Also picked up their Glenmarnoch Single Malt, Rum Cask Edition. £19 seemed like a bargain. But, now I've tasted it, I realised I should have gone for something with a proven track record
