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

Katiehound

Olive oil spread not always available at Aldi now that sunflower spread has gone.

Whatever you do don't go to Morrison's for oats- £1.40!! (not Quaker either- their own)

Sorry Rosa-Damascena I did not notice if any ketchup (I've still got 4 Daddies from Iceland when 70% free for £1 in the new year!!)

I took a trip down to Woodgrange Drive yesterday (mistake unless you fancy a swim - burst water pipe) and it wasn't there. However the new version in the cylindrical bottle was on offer at 79p instead of 99p, so I picked up 2 bottles and will see how I get on. I haven't had it for months so this should last me until well into the New Year.

Now this is a peculiarity that I cannot understand: I was picking up my customary Victoria sponge for £2.19, and below it noticed a massive orange-stickered party cake, 16 portions at £3.15. Of course it made sense to pick this up given cake is a food group of its own for me, even though I know it to be an inferior product. I like eating cake and I can make this stretch for a fortnight.

If anyone is interested in trying Flora Plant Butter, it is currently available in the special buy chiller in Lidl at £1.49 - compared to a normal RRP of £1.99.

It's available in salted and unsalted.   It's nice enough on toast, and probably okay for baking (not tried yet), but it's a bit lacking in creamy butteryness, which I suppose is to be expected.

Plant butter they really are having a laugh.

Anyone know what has happened to the pitta bread in Aldi and Lidl? They have not been available for months now. I asked one of the staff at Aldi and she said they've run out. But it's been the same the last few months. Is it out of stock at my local Aldi or has it been discontinued? 

Pitta breads are back in Aldi now. Yipee. They used to be 35p and are now 55p.

What's yellow and greasy, and comes in a rectangular block covered in greaseproof paper?

Reminds me of when ‘I can’t believe it’s not butter came out. Father insisted on pronouncing it “I can’t believe it! Snot butter!  

Plant butter sounds about as appealing…

Cornucopia

I definitely think they could have come up with a better name.

"I again can't believe it's butter"?

Aldi own brand british butter - very,very good! (although at £1.99 it would seem that it doesn't come in all that much cheaper than many other places)
