    If my cats could type they would tell you that, whilst they like the Vitacat pouches they do not like the slightly more expensive Vitacat premium select pouches (£1.99)
    My cat loves the vita cat 19p sachets on Aldi and Lidl and she seems to be doing very well on them weight/health wise.

    Fresh ginger from Lidl is a bargain.

    That all depends on price/quantity?

    No point saying something is a bargain but then failing to say why!

    the white ones with the yellow strip are quite good though. The granola is fantastic value for money.

    Lidl's rice crispies are not good, Aldi's are much better. On the plus side, this means that I am not going to eat them (carbs are my nemesis) so it only cost 99p to realise it. What to do with the other 450g?

    My local Lidl had a wine sale, they were selling a load (including white and rose cava) for £3.99 a bottle. I don't know if it's any good though.

    Speaking of cereals... Aldi's cornflakes and honey nut cornflakes are fortified with vitamins (including the all important Vit D). Lidl's are not. Aldi's are as good, if not better than Kellogg's.

    I thought that ALL cereals sold in the UK had to have a certain basic list of government recommended vitamins and minerals by law.

    Am I wrong?
