Things to look out for in Lidl and Aldi

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

Thank you for your service to my family who will give me massive grief. I have failed in my cheese buying - I've not got a blue cheese so I'm going to have to venture out again ...

No sneakily buying replacement material for the cheesy victims of midnight snacking, either!

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

The Cremant de Jura is good.

I really wanted a DELUXE Tête de Moine - Lidl UK but my local is too small to stock them

comes on a stand with it's own whirling cheese blade and everything

My Lidl has sold out of the almonds in tins.

 

[Biddlybee]

Have you tried Stockwell?

 

[Ms T]

Have you tried Stockwell?

I am done with shopping now tbh, and working the next two days.

 

[Dovydaitis]

Aldi have reduced their bags of nuts.... This could be lethal


Also got a tablecloth that's quite nice for 7 quid

All your nutses are belong to me.

If it helps, I got one last year and was very excited to try the cheese blade thing, but it was a cheap plasticky thing that i binned soon after Christmas. The cheese smelled of death too and everyone in my family complained

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 ...

The Fleurie improved a little over the next couple of days, but was still rather disapointing.

The Chateau Poliane Cotes de Bourg 2014 Bordeaux on the other hand is very nice indeed - full-bodied without swamping my veggie food - I will be picking up a few more bottles.

I note that the kitchen ware line in Lidl is called "Ernesto".

Unlike it's namesake, however, it isn't past its best.

I bought a white wine from Lidl earlier this month called Falanghina, purely because of its titterworthy name. However, it was really delicious - would buy again.

Cashew crunch bars (raw cashews and dates) aren't very crunchy but they're bloody lovely

lidl or aldi?

 

[Boudicca]

lidl or aldi?

Aldi, I think.

I've been eating them, they are 'paleo' (and have this written on them in big letters). They are not too expensive and relatively healthy. More importantly, I seem to be able to stop at one, instead of eating the whole packet of 5. Which makes them 5 times healthier than some of the other snack bars I buy...

 

[trashpony]

lidl or aldi?

Yes, sorry, as Boudicca says, Aldi.

They're very filling aren't they?!

 

[Biddlybee]

Ah, bugger. No aldi near here. They sound like a version of nakd bars.

 

[Chz]

Oooh.. The wean loves Nakd bars for "first breakfast", but I really can't be arsed to brave Costco just to pick up another box of them. Not that Aldi's any closer, mind you...

Ridge Valley tonic water, Aldi's rip off of Fever Tree, is lovely.
Can't remember how much is was, but it was certainly cheaper than Fever Tree.

Popped into our local Aldi to see if I could pick some up for Mrs Voltz and the person I asked in the store didn't have a clue what I was on about - the only tonic they seem to sell, at the moment, is in 500ml plastic bottles and it's Vive(?) or some such brand name

Do you know if this Ridge Valley Tonic water is available across all Aldi's?

I don't know how your Aldi is set out, but this was with the booze special offers.
I'll be gutted if I can't find it again
(and I'll be stocking up if I do see it!)

 

[High Voltage]

The ONLY result that comes up for Ridge Valley tonic water appears to be a patent application or IP application for Aldi - nothing else appears, so at the moment, it doesn't appear to be available that widely . . . we shall see

And given that Fever Tree with either Gin or Vodka is Mrs Voltz's tipple of choice it'd be well worth keeping an eye out for it and getting a LOT
