Hit me up with your favourite Aldi items!

[KnittingForMittens]

I need some new ideas and inspiration. What are your best Aldi items you've found recently? Food-wise.

The chocolate with pretzel pieces in it!

Great cheddar! A vintage Scottish one is particularly good. And their Specially Selected Parmesan is fab.

Their Specially Selected ground coffee range is great (and really good value at £1.79 a bag)

And don't forget about their gin - only £9.99 a bottle, and it's award-winning gin

Marinated chicken breasts with nigella seeds
Beetroot and mint dip
Sparkling elderflower water
Raspberry sorbet

Frozen asparagus and gruyere parcels
Vintage cheddar and caramelised onion quiche
Thai green curry kit
The fajita kit is the best I’ve found for the price.

0% fat authentic Greek yogurt is amaaaaaaaazing

Peanut and choc chip brownie bars

Their knock-off Nakd bars, the pecan ones are very good.
Natural peanut butter - no palm oil!
The frozen butternut squash risotto
Brioche burger buns
German bratwurst and frikadellen (actually all of the German meats)
Mamia wipes in handbag-sized packs

Their chocolate is great. Also one of their gins (I think it’s a 50cl Black Forest gin) is lovely.

Frozen whole sea bass

Tear and share chocolate brioche 🤤

BBQ ribs and crispy duck pancakes are good for lazy Friday night meals. So tasty (& cheap)!

Trash but their groovy bars are like the old smarties you used to get 😍

I’m off there tonight, will try the cheese and the raspberry sorbet, thank you! I second the flavoured sparkling waters. Their Snack Rite crisps are very good, I can’t tell the difference between those and Walkers, both the plain and the salt and vinegar. Their knock off pringles are good too. I find their meat good both cooked and fresh.

Where to start!!!

Their Thai fish cakes are amazing
The fake pringles are better than pringles
Their gin is excellent
Baby wipes are great
Baby snacks great
Salted butter
Greek yoghurt
All of the cheeses I've tried from there have been great - Red Leicester and Mature Chedder being favourites
They do a great soy,chilli sauce which goes with everything
Their versions of kit kat/blue riband and penguin bars are no different imo
They do some lovely crackers - sea salt/black pepper/ rosemary - delicious 😋
The Bloomer bread is award winning and lovely
Their American Hot pizzas are good as are the stone baked ones

I could keep boring you so I'll leave it there 😂

rocket lettuce
low fat ready salted ridged crisps
own brand pringles
own brand ryvita
mixed beans
still fruit water
thick bleach
vegetable samosa
falafals
chocolate brioche rolls

The frozen halloumi fries.
Organic cacao powder - good for milkshakes & loads cheaper than anywhere else.
The "posh" hand wash which is 79p

Sunflower rye bread, king cherries, stir-in pasta sauce, Moser Roth dark chocolate, rustic-y crispbread things, baking ingredients (esp brown sugars).

Fantastic steaks -ribeye is especially good.
Best tasty whole (cook in the bag) chicken
All the meat tbh, mostly British and nice quality.
Frozen blueberries
Greek yogurt
Gammon joints to make home baked ham are nice and not too salty.
Mini magnum style ice creams.
The bags of cake mix that you just add oil and water to are pretty good. The chocolate one is nice and rich and good for emergency school cake bakes (that you get told about at 9pm when they are due the next morning)

If you have a Nespresso machine, the coffee pods are great. Ristretto.

Their "Red Fox" Red Leicester cheese is lovely.
The chocolate brownie "magnums" are amazing.
DCs said the frozen calamari was good.
The Pear and Freesia diffuser is lovely.

Halloumi fries are rank. Which is why these threads are often pointless as people have such different tastes 😂

The frozen berry mix is great for making "overnight oats" for breakfast.

30p Chocolate bars. (Milk Dark and White)
Aldi doritos
Humous.
Aldi sausage 12 for £1.09.
I love Aldi. You can't fault it.

LOVE Aldi (just a shame my local one is crazy busy and a bit of an ordeal to shop there)! Favourites are:

-Frozen large raw prawns - stay so juicy and plump when cooked

• The ‘posh’ curry sauces with the spice powder on top. Especially the butter chicken one
• Greek yoghurt - we get the full fat one because the baby has it
• Baby wipes are great
• Buck’s Fizz in a can was lovely for a picnic on a hot day
• The 8 bag of croissants is really good value and they’re nice when heated in the oven

Passionfruit Gin... I've cleared the shelves in my local 😂😂

We like the family steak pie when cba to Make one.
Cheeses
Nappies and wipes.
Crisps.
Their pizzas are good to keep in freezer too.

The microwave chana masala/ spiced chickpeas are gorgeous with a spoonful of mango chutney and lime pickle

Beetroot burgers
Yogurt
Wine
Flatbreads
Naked fish cakes
Low fat meatballs.
