I went to Aldi for the first time today!
I bought a free-range whole chicken to roast, free-range large eggs, dried tortellini (so cheap!), raspberries, blackberries, nectarines, courgettes, salad, rocket, washing up gloves, box of own-brand mini magnums (£1.99!), milk, instant coffee, lots of other stuff that will feed us for over a week, and all only £30! I even got flowers for the house. I got some things because they were items I normally regard as little luxuries but were cheap in Aldi, like brie (Bavarian), salmon and those lindt-like chocolates.
There's some things I wanted but couldn't find at Aldi. I thought they did those living salads but couldn't find any, couldn't find couscous or hot chillies either, or frozen mangoes - I could only find packs of frozen mango and pineapple together. I've heard good things about Aldi perfume but couldn't find them in my branch - has anyone seen them around London?
Our local Aldi is a half hour walk away and my shopping was pretty heavy so I didn't get heavy non-urgent things, but the next time I'm in I'd like to try their bottle of peach bellini (£2.99, has anyone tried this?) and dishwasher tablets. I know it's a bit sad, but I'm so excited about saving on groceries. I feel like I've wasted so much money on Ocado delivery and Waitrose in my life.
