Lidl -Bolliquem, Portugal: only went to get some goose breasts which were 4.99 euro a kilo but came out with 10 litrs of red in 2 wine boxes for 9 euros, 2 duck breasts a 2.99 each, a whole duck for 3.99, 3 packets of rissois which are breaded pastries that you fry , prawn, fish and salt cod for 9 euros, a whole rolled Turkey breat 5.99 a kilo which was 4.50, fake Baileys 4.99, 8 king scallops 7.99 euros and a load of cheeses. came home read the brochure in a bar and spotted a leg of lamb ,the top half for 7.99 a kilo and T Bone for 18 euros a kilo. Was thinking of nipping back tomoz but i'll only end up buying more so I'll leave it.

We went to Lidl today and came out with a load of stuff that we didn't actually need (this is how they make their money you know!!!), but I think the bargain item was a bottle of Argentinian Malbec for £2.99 - at least I think it was a bargain, we haven't tried it yet!

They had run out of that Malbec at the one I visited and only had the £4.99 or £5.99 versions on sale

I'm not vegan but Aldi vegan frozen 'no beef' pasties are pretty good at £1.29 for 2. The filling is a bit like the old Linda McCartney country pies, soya mince, carrot, potato and onion, nice and peppery.

They do vegan sausage rolls aswell, 4 for same price but I didn't think they were that tasty.

McCartney's country pies have changed and are crap now. Will look for them pasties in my local Aldi

Again no vegan, but I do like to keep the spicy bean burgers from Aldi in the freezer. Better then cheap meat ones by a long shot!

It's...all right, but probably only as a second or third bottle, TBF. I'm working my way through one as a bottle of cooking wine, although I started it as a post-pub tipple.

 

[quiet guy]

The Aldi Torro Loco red wine is a very tasty tipple.

 

[Part 2]

Aldi 100% peanut butter now in 1kg tubs for £4.

The smaller jars seem to be moving towards the rich roast and increasing in price from £1.25 to £1.45. Old stuff on the right.

This is a good drop from Aldi. It really does have a milkshake twang rather than just pineapple.

 

[Part 2]

For the past 2 weeks my local Aldi had no plain chocolate digestives. Today the sign isn't even there anymore. Bearing in mind I'm a one shop person and this is a staple I think they may not be stocking them anymore.

Can anyone confirm their absence around the country or is this a local thing?

 

[cybershot]

I've had this with Aldi before. It's usually because the factory they are being made at has had some hygiene warning or some crap and had to shut or stop making a particular product. It usually comes back after a while, but then always doesn't taste the same as it did before. If that's a good thing or not, I'm not sure.

There's nothing on the product recall page.

I've not been in there since lockdown and being doing click & collects from Asda. Not helpful I know.

Yea maybe they have the same supplier as Tesco, it says on their website 'product unavailable'.

The Aldi Zanzibar style vegan kebabs. Really quite tasty with a pleasing texture. Bit like having a curry shish.

Own brand was 80 something p for 340g but they've only had Sunpat and posh stuff since the 'rona.

(yes the own brand stuff probably has palm oil in it but beggars can't be choosers).

I only like the jaffa cakes and little sesame biscuits when they do that stuff. Asda or Aldi tomorrow I think.

Why don't you just marry Asda



I only have a small Asda near me and no such fripperies are on offer

The staff at my Lidl are much nicer. The main advantage of Asda though is that I can get in and out without accidentally buying Polish jaffa cakes, a tracksuit and a new socket set.
