Things to look out for in Lidl and Aldi

[Tankus]

Aldi
Moser Roth 85% coca dark chocolate sour cherry /chilli

5 separately wrapped small bars in a pack...you can't eat much....anyways ..well rich..
As you eat it ...Dark chocolate taste at the start with sudden short sour cherry hit ......back to dark chocolate....finally a lingering chilli zing after the chocolate s gone .....definitely a repeat purchase

The chocolate is top darts just on its own........think it was £1.49

Lidl have their Iberian week going on from Thursday 11th, including their Serrano hams, and their bottles of white port (which IIRC is a friendofdorothy favourite).

I'll be going in to get the dates wrapped in bacon, plus some of the calamari rings for ViolentPanda.

 

[Biddlybee]

Dates wrapped in bacon?

 

[Biddlybee]

ooh, there should be spiralizers in there atm for people who like vegetable spaghetti.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Dates wrapped in bacon?

Yes, they're rather more-ish.

This is exactly the news I've been waiting for. Calamari bulk buy ahead.

 

[Biddlybee]

Yes, they're rather more-ish.

I might have to try them, just because.

 

[Greebo]

Dates wrapped in bacon?

Sweet and salty and sticky and almost every kind of so wrong that they're right.

 

[The Boy]

My other half never let's me buy the hams. I'm finding it harder to resist every time they have them in stock.

 

[Greebo]

Oh, and Lidl will be selling the appropriate pans etc as well - tiny frying pans for tapas, paella pans, tapas bowls....

 

[ViolentPanda]

You can blame me and Greebo for any subsequent addiction problems.

Thanks. We spotted the white port mentioned in the Lidl mag and I'm on standby to stock up.

Noted

I also need to try this white port.

 

[gentlegreen]

This is a really rather funky French red from Aldi.
When I opened the bottle I swear I was hit with attar of roses .. on subsequent days I got citrus .. perhaps Earl Grey.
Cheap as chips too.

I would like to have the thread title changed to include Iceland. Not because they thrashed Engerlad, but because it's come along way from Bejams.
Today for lunch I had flat breads 6 for£1 with Ghana dal, followed by cherry and almond loaf £1.25 from the English cake company.
Their deli range is ever improving as well as the puddings.
And you can nip in for 3 magnums at£1.50 a pack anytime.
What do you think urbs?

 

[Biddlybee]

Thing about lidl and aldi is they have specials in - that's more what this thread is about.

Iberian week, Greek week, when they've got the wooden toys in or power tools etc

I get that biddlybee, it's just that out here in metroland we don't have a lidl or aldi on the doorstep

Definitely a case for a "shopping bargains" thread, but I think Biddlybee has a point about this being a place to flag up Lidl/Aldi "crazy crap" offers...

bump this thread? Food, drink & houseware offers

I dunno

 

[MrSki]

Maybe it would be better for some if there were separate threads for Lidl & Aldi. When I lived in town both were close but now I only have Lidl close by. Also some posters don't specify whether it is Aldi or Lidl.

 

[friendofdorothy]

I went to the stockwell Lidl with my trolley ready to stock up on White Port and there wasn't any! ggrrrrrrrrrrrh. will have to try the Brixton one.

Streatham Lidl had it on Friday

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Fuck does any of this apply to Orkney lidl? It's a seven mile drive but it was worth it for the shoe rack i got that one time.

Check by putting the postcode (or the name) of that branch into the page with the deals of the week on it.

 

[Plumdaff]

You can get a mobile app for both shops to check upcoming weeks' offers but who on earth would do that

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

I didn't know there was an art to doing lidls

 

[High Voltage]

White Prot - Check
Muscatel dessert wine - Check
Galletas de chocolate blanco - Check (white chocolate coated biscuits)
Almendras Marcona saladas con miel - Check (roasted and salted Marcona Almond halves with honey) somehow I managed to pick up two packets, hope they're nice

I only popped in for some white prot

 

[High Voltage]

Oh and some tinned fish 'n' something which I'll have with rice for tea, probably this week
