Just looked at my Lidl Plus app and was pleasantly surprised to see a £5 off £10 spend. I haven't set foot in Lidl for all of 3 weeks as I have been away!

Aldi Specially Selected Venison & Red Fruit Pate...  delicious.

I had a snoop around Aldi just before closing time this evening and similarly to my reaction to Lidl's festive fare, was not tempted by any of the Christmas delicacies at today's prices. 

I gratefully noted that Aldi now does ladies' Footcare up to size 8 now, for ankle-length snow boots at least.

Not food! In Aldi today.

Just bought a mini air fryer @  &16.99. There's only me so that will be a perfect size.

Also bought a friend an ' adult knitted jacket' @ £9.99. It's really cozy with furry lining. I gave it to her now because I needed to check the size. It's a perfect fit & she is thrilled. (have looked a charity shop offers & they are at least £5 for some thing on the tatty scale!)

On the food  front their fresh beer battered or bubbled cod fillets are nice. Not cheap but a great deal cheaper than buying fish & chips from the chippie.

Aldi Sharing Tubs of (Tiny) Crackers appeared a few months ago (I think they were more expensive previously).   Now they are 99p, and you get a lot of tiny crackers for that.

Two flavours:  Cheese and Garlic & Herb.   The Cheese flavour is subtle (not the intense flavour of things like Cheddars).   The Garlic & Herb is very reminiscent of the smell that wafts out of Subway (the herby bread smell).  They also have seeds in the G&H crackers, making them crunchier.    Probably really good for party food, either as they come or with something on them.

I've been having a clear out and am a bit surprised about the amount of food in the fridge past its best. This is very much a "don't buy" from Lidl - purchased at £2.49 or thereabouts. I had a single dose with tonic water - not to my taste - and once open it separated:

Looks like it just needs a shake to recombine?

I am suspicious of this strange matrix. After I took it out of the fridge, it gradually sank to the bottom of the bottle.

Anyway its been disposed of now. I want nothing more to do with it!
