Things to look out for in Lidl and Aldi

[Dovydaitis]

Aldi have discontinued Austins according to the manager

I know...christmas is cancelled. He said keep looking in the magazines as it may come back as a 'special'. I bought a Christmas cacti and left bereft.

Lidl, salted caramel profiteroles and salted caramel cream to go with, droolsome.

Lidl Deluxe big choccy bars, blueberry and white chocolate, caramel and milk, 500g, £6.99 each. Difficult to break into pieces but went down a storm at the orifice party.

The orifice party?

I had some lidl champagne today and it was ok but didn't have that lovely champagne biscuit taste. To save me going back through the thread looking does anyone know how the Aldi one compares?

I may be asking for too much at £9.99 a bottle

I've just bought myself a pair of sheepskin slippers from Aldi. £14.99. My friends who own a shoe shop sell similar for £60.

I don't reccomend Aldi's Fleurie - any subtle floral notes are spoiled by the acidity - so it ends up tasting a bit like cheap white wine - I will amend this if it improves as the days go by ...

I bought a bag of their dried pond scum - not sure how I'm going to use it

The orifice party?

I can state categorically that this was NOT a spellcheck auto correct typo but a genuine and intentional malapropism - and not a bad one at that

I bought cremant de jura from Aldi today instead of Prosecco because it's got very good reviews. They had massive bottles of Austins but I had so much booze in my trolley I just couldn't fit any more stuff in

Basically I bought booze and cheese

well quite, I don't have kids so have never *done* christmas but for me it's mainly get the food and booze prepared the night before and then eat, drink* and watch favourite vids

To be honest, the children sort of fit in around all that stuff. My main challenge now is not eating any of the 9 different cheeses I've bought before Sunday. I have no other adults in the house to tell me off until then

ah, or 'excuse' as we say in plain english

yes I seem to have accumulated a lot of cheese. The ideal would be cheese on toast but I don't have a cheese-on-toaster

 

[danny la rouge]

Gravy.

i was going to say 'paint thinner' but thought it wasn't quite in the spirit of the thread

 

[pogofish]

Very good price on the standard Glen Moray whisky in my local Aldi - £12 for a 70cl.

 

[sojourner]

I heard rumours that Aldi were selling that Lindt dark choccy with sea salt in - anyone confirm? And if so is it cheaper than the £1.99 that the co op charge for it?

Sprouts on the stalk.

Wasabi and Habanero almonds are back in Lidl. I'm sure they weren't £2.50 a tin last year.

 

[gentlegreen]

I'm waiting for the canned chestnuts

Don't worry. I'll scold you online in their stead.
Put down the cheese!!

They were.

 

[Rebelda]

Yeah, or two for £4 but they're not on offer this year
