    Aldi have upset me. They appeared to have stopped doing their sensitive toothpaste (was 55p a tube). I now have to go back to branded which is easily double the price ��

    I hope it's just a temporary blip, but if not there's a Lidl equivalent at much the same price. :)

    It's not just the sensitive they have stopped doing. They haven't had any of their own brand range at our store for a good few weeks now.

    That usually means a change of supplier - though the unfortunate increase in the sale of brands across Aldi and Lidl (negating the whole point of these stores) must inevitably mean fewer of their own product ranges.

    There's no reason why A&L should not continue to sell own brand/weird brand goods alongside branded goods. That's especially true as the chains continue to grow and continue to develop their store networks, increasing their shop-floor areas.

    As the stores are often referred to as dicounters I don't see a problem with them selling brands at a good price. I've often bought their specials such as Lazy Garlic and Frylight when they have them.

    i also bought the frozen dessert shots, one with mango, one with raspberries and a chocolate mousse one, i'd definitely buy them again.

    I bought the boozy ones as a NY treat as I don't drink as a rule but wanted something with a little bit of alcohol. They were lovely too. Strawberry and champagne, choc orange and grand marnier and Baileys if my memory serves me correctly. Yummmmmm

    I hope so (although none of the items listed would find their way into my basket).

    I took 2 mins to answer their online survey recently, and expressed a need for weekend offers to make a comeback if I am to return as a regular Saturday morning shopper. I've mostly shopped at Aldi since they were pulled.

    It's very much hit and miss as to what is in your individual Aldi store, but I saw some good Specialbuy reductions in mine (Co. Durham). A steam generator iron was down to under £25. Lots of reduced cold weather clothing items.
    I picked up a ribbed ladies' polo neck jumper for £2.99 from £5.99 - not brilliant quality, quite thin, but OK for layering on colder days.
