    Aldi are doing bags of Metro (4) baguette type sandwich size rolls (Italian or Tiger).  They are absolute dupes of Subway and even in similar coloured yellow & green packaging.  They are better than Subway imo as they are not as dense but the flavour is exactly the same.  Since i spotted them I've noticed they do sell out pretty quick and I've been known to drive from shop to shop to find them because we love them that much :)

    Wife wanted to try Lidl's cheap bog rolls, £2.39 and supposedly 2-ply. I've looked at them and they're anything but... just one thin layer. Not at all fit for purpose. Will return them.

    @Doc_N Probably.
    @Desmond_Hume It's not a question of £2.39. It's a matter of saying something on the tin and then not delivering. And I am retired and have too much time on my hands :smile:

    If you mean how much, I think that they are £1.49 for a pack of four rolls. They are really nice though.
