    Can anyone recommend the Deluxe Colombian ground coffee on offer at Lidl this weekend?

    Been in Lidl a couple of times this week and been surprised at how many empty shelves there were.  Half of the things I wanted weren't there.  Haven't noticed in other shops.

    I don't use Lidl often, but Aldi were out of the packet sauce mixes I use three weeks ago, so I popped into an L. I was surprised to see so many gaps then...

    I meant to post last week - popped into Lidl last Sunday and they were out of unbranded sanpro. Went to an Aldi 25 miles away the next morning and found the same...ended up getting some in a supersize Sainsbos. Coincidentally there was a MSE exposé later in the week, it strikes me prices are going up all over the board.

    Hmm, just opened a "new look" Aldi  Specially Selected Belgian Chocolate Cake to find that firstly the cake is drier, secondly the buttercream type topping is just a smear instead of thick, and thirdly the buttercream filling betwern the two cake layers is now non existent! Compared to the previous old look version it's rubbish...

    Oh well, obviously a change of supplier or specification, either way another old favourite we won't be having again...

    New products - 

    At Lidl, Frozen Red Cabbage with Apple and Redcurrants - this is like the posh red cabbage, but comes in a big bag for 99p.   Very tasty, if a little sweet.

    At Aldi, "One Pot" ready meals in the Lunch chiller.   Only tried the Thai Red Curry so far, but that was excellent.  £1.99 (I think).

    I noticed in an in-store Lidl Plus leaflet today: between 1/4/22 and 31/8/22 get a free in-store bakery item coupon when you spend £50 a month (max 1 per month).

    Aldi Skyr (passion fruit flavour) is delicious and I recommend it. It must have plenty of sugar in it but it doesn't taste that sweet.
