They're really famous in Portugal with a shop in Lisbon entirely devoted to them.

Lance should take a trip there.

I've tasted the nun's wares and honestly I prefer a genuine Bakewell tart.

Ring then, and persevere for the greater good please. The same happened to me last week when I let them know about excess plastic packaging - reported the email problem then as well but it would appear to be an enduring problem.

After Tesco value oats changed in quality I started buying Aldi oats and was impressed on two counts....the quality and the paper packaging.
However, packaging has been changed to plastic and the quality has deteriorated.

I have tried to email customer services but the message won’t send.

Looks like the remainder of the oats will be used for baking!

May not be handy, but the Lidl oats are nice & come in paper bags

Thanks for that. I think it was a retrograde step when Aldi stopped doing that, changed to Mornflake Oats and now their own brand has returned but in plastic.


Just giving a heads up that a voucher for Lidl (£10 off a £40 shop) is to be in The Times on Saturday and the Sunday Times.


Last time they did this IIRC, you couldn't use the voucher at the weekend but we'll see when it's printed.


I plan to go there on Saturday to try to get some muesli. Then I'll return midweek with y voucher and stock up on porage;) and cornichons and lazy garlic and dishwasher stuff and whatever else I like in Lidl.


Who knows I might even introduce DH to a Portuguese tart.:D

Thanks to maman for heads up on Lidl voucher - £10 off £40 spend. It is valid from today so you can use it for muesli offer etc as I did. I think it was valid until 11th April.
