Things to look out for in Lidl and Aldi

[tufty79]

Now with Xmas coming in I'm going to have to restrain myself from their faux-Lubecker marzipan in dark chocolate

*cries*

Right. That's it. I *need* to go to Lidls this weekend. Can't go too often of I'd be the size of a house :-\

Remember to take your own bags.

I snag a fruit box normally. The dog likes to get them afterwards

I snag a fruit box normally.

This is my way, and I then use it for brown stuff in the compost

Also had a load of gear for the bikes over the years, clothing, tools, lights etc all good vfm from both stores.
Also taken a liking to Aldi's chocolate coated rice cakes, nom nom.

the yoghurt coated ones are yumcious

and the ministollen
went back to get some

I bought myself a bottle of perfume today. Madame Glamour £3.99 from Lidl
I've been wearing this for a year now, previously I wore JPG and Vivienne Westwood. Madame Glamour doesn't last quite so long so I top it up during the day but at £3.99 I can afford to be lavish with it

Lidl 'Deluxe' Christmas spiced butter fudge. That is all.

 

[onenameshelley]

Ss have you opened it yet?

 

[secretsquirrel]

Pfft. 'yet'. It was opened an hour ago. The miracle is there's still any left :-D

 

[MrSki]

Lidl 'Deluxe' Christmas spiced butter fudge. That is all.

I like the sound of that. What is it spiced with?

 

[secretsquirrel]

It's got raisins, glacé cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg and brandy (a whole 1%!)

 

[secretsquirrel]

Oh and the wasabi almonds are back too! :-D

 

[secretsquirrel]

'Hand broken, crumbly, all butter fudge made using a subtle blend of Christmas spices, raisins and glacé cherries with a hint of brandy.' Basically cinnamon and nutmeg :-D

Lidl veg shop tomorrow morning.

I will not buy stollen!

That's done it for me. I am off To Lidl now before it shuts at 5pm. Will report back later.

I wish you luck, because I certainly can't manage it.

I admire your ambition. However, I'll believe it when I see you not having bought any tomorrow.

I'm going to buy some and lie about it.

 

[Cpatain Rbubish]

I'm betting you do!

 

[tufty79]

Non-stollen discovery from last week: the salt and vinegar sticks in the crusty croc selection bags of crisps are eye-wateringly strong, in the best possible way.

 

[Greebo]

I'm betting you do!

What - I admire his ambition? FWIW I've bought this winter's supply of stollen and will be vexed to the eyebrows and beyond if any of it's started before my birthday, let alone before Saturnalia.

Fuck me it was radio rental in there. I know Lidl has become more popular but every checkout was in use & there were still long queues. Looked for the fudge near the chocolate section & could not see so I picked up some well expensive Chocolate Truffles. Then I came across the Xmas section & picked up some Xmas fudge. Well good. £1.29 for info.

Might keep the truffles for a gift as they were £1.99! No fuck it I am going to eat them.

Please people stop going to Lidl. Tescos is much better.

One of my colleagues bought a stollen into work for my birthday cake

Now with Xmas coming in I'm going to have to restrain myself from their faux-Lubecker marzipan in dark chocolate

I saw those the other day and can't get them out of my head now. I'm craving one even more than stollen

If i do cave in, i think I'll have to ask someone else to look after it and ration it out to me

The enormity of childish innuendo possibilities from this post have forced me to take a U75 time out

 

[MrSki]

Bleading heck Tucker! I thought the fudge was good but the Chocolate Truffles are orgasmic.

I am a bit worried having both at easy reach. Must put both out of eyesight & go for a walk.

 

[MrSki]

ding dong merrily on high.... The fudge does the business. Well maybe the vodka too.

Leave it a the bottom of the freezer, under at least one layer of healthy stuff eg green beans.

I was going to be doing my veg shopping in lidl but it's certainly not safe. That 600g bag of gingerbread I bought was all gone by the following evening.
