Good and Bad Buys from Aldi & Lidl *Do NOT Expire Please*
Comments
-
Was at my local Lidl today and it has just had its refit. Its a small store so getting round is a little difficult (no gap in the middle of the store any more). I noticed that a few lines have reappeared that have been missing for months.
- Chickpeas, Kidney Beans and Butter Beans (as mentioned above!)
- Naan Breads and Wraps
- Ice cream Cones, Summer bread lines (burger/hotdog buns)
- Chopped tinned tomatoes
- 17p lemonade
- Cocoa Powder
And a few new lines that I am happy to see back
- Cloudy Lemonade/Ginger Beer
- Pomegranate/Apple and Elderflower juice (I suspect that this is the same product that aldi used to stock, tastes the same!)
Lines I am still disappointed in
- Loo roll - a staff member told me that they have changed supplier and now all of the stuff in that area of the shop is made by the same people who stock aldi. I miss the Cushelle!0 -

Cushelle is currently £1.35 for 4 rolls at Wilko's. I tend to get my loo rolls on anything decent that Wilko's have on special offer as it's usually a bit cheaper than Aldi's.
Aldi loo roll is decent enough quality if Wilko's have sold out or haven't anything good on offer.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

The Lidl Mediterranean Herb wraps are very nice (possibly a substitute for Garlic?)
First I was talking about Aldi not Lidl's wraps. Having said that I have tried the herb ones from Lidl. Ok for things that complement the herbs in the wrap.
But I wanted the garlic ones as I like garlic. They are on the shelf label but not the shelf. That's why I was asking if they have been 'deleted' from Aldi's stock line or is it just a local stock control thing in my area.The more I live, the more I learn.

Cushelle is a false economy. Because it's a much thicker paper there's less sheets on the roll. Plus, out of habit, people tend to just pull off a load of paper each toilet use before realising it's thicker.0

Another price rise in Aldi on the Buttery Spread to £1.69. It cost £1.29 at the start of the year and isn't far off the price you can get branded spreads from other supermarkets.
Cheese has dropped back down in price though to £1.59 from the £1.75 it was for a few weeks. Not as cheap as £1.49 earlier in the year though for 350g.0 -

Some questions are probably best unasked.
I tried Lidl Thai Red Curry this week, and it was probably the best readymeal I have had in years (not that I am a frequent flier). Chilled (and I was).
The sauce was spicy and creamy, with plenty of lean chicken and various appropriate veg. Quite hot, spice wise.
Unusually, even the rice was good - fluffy sticky rice, possibly moistened with coconut milk (or something similar).
Very impressed, and at £1.59 not that expensive, either. Need to try it again to see how consistent it is.
The only disappointment was that with such a spicy dish, there really is no need for 1.7g of Salt, because no one will be able to taste it.0 -

To be honest if you are paying the bills, you always study people's habits.
That's how you make economies.The more I live, the more I learn.
