Aldi. What am I missing...

[Whatthefunk]

Morning. I've shopped at Aldi, for years, but always seem to buy the same things. Am I missing any delights? I'm thinking of main meal ideas. Are there any gems that I need to try?

Filled Gnocchi
Snackrite crisps
Sweet Chilli chicken thighs
Chicken sizzlers
Caramel swiss roll
Cape Verde pizza is similar to Ristorante.
Garlic wedges

During lockdown we have been shopping at Aldi each week and I've been impressed.

Trio of Olive bread
Organic eggs
Manchego, hard goat's cheese
Soya Yogurt
Pea protein pasta
Marscapone pesto
Chocolate
Sourdough Pizza (I add herbs and black olives at home)
Own brand ice cream and choc lollies
Own brand flavoured noodles
Own brand garlic mayo
Vitamin supplements
Herbs that come in individual mills to use as condiments

Agree they have quite a few non cows milk products which helps with dietary needs.

OMG yes the pepsi max they do - it tastes the same almost and is about 35p!

Their angus burgers are good and their sirloin steak is the best I've tried from all supermarkets inc Waitrose and butchers.

Titan Bars = Mars Bars - taste better.
Party Rings taste the same
Tea cakes taste the same too
Their salmon is good and fresh, very cheap even compared to Asda.
Ice cream is delicious as is their ice poles.
They do a £3 Pinot Grigio that is my favourite even compared to the more expensive one they do. It is just so easy on the palette.

We love lots of Aldi buys. I always seek out ...

Greek yoghurt
Tomato and mascarpone pasta sauce
Sourdough part baked baguettes
Nutty granola
Blue cheese, in fact all the cheeses
Candy floss grapes
Steaks, the specially selected are really good
German cooked meatballs
Bone marrow burgers
Chicken sizzlers
Chorizo and cheese 'fondue' in a terracotta dish

cheese and onion beef burgers (frozen)
racers bars (snickers)
Blue Topaz gin

Sushi

Frozen fish burgers are lovely!

Also love their sweet potato burgers

Their French brie is amazing.

I really like these.

I am intrigued by their bone marrow burgers but could not find them when looking on the Aldi website.

Their Freeman's Bay Sauvignon Blanc is delicious if you're a wine drinker

Thanks all! I've tried pretty much everything here, except bone marrow burgers???

Salmon skewers from fridge are nice
Come with soy, chilli and lime sauce to pour over had them with salad and new pots the other day. Delicious

@UB40fan

We had the bone marrow burgers 2 weeks ago I think they call them the ultimate burger. Didn't like them tasted really strong of beef gravy type taste. We prefer the Aberdeen Angus ones

Brooklea Chocolate flavour Little Snacks

Little milk based, chocolate covered bars - refrigerated not frozen.

Also available in strawberry.

I bought the family size Cottage Pie recently for a mega quick meal. For £4.19 I was pretty impressed, with a load of veg on the side

Frozen fish

They do a fab frozen fajita mix … chicken, peppers, onions and spices. Great for teens to just grab from the freezer and fry up a bit of it for a wrap or with pasta.

Their cheeses and cold meat are good
Greek yogurt with honey is delicious
Nutty granola
Moser Roth chocolate
Non food but their orange and bergamot hand wash is a dupe of Molton brown... Gorgeous and only 65p

Ooh I've looked at those before @BigSandyBalls2015 , but couldn't decide if they'd be good! My 16 year old DS would love them so I'll give them a try

It’s not always available namechange so when I see it I stock up!

The frozen sausage patties - taste just like McDonald’s for making egg McMuffins!
Their cheeses are good
Fresh pizzas
Their fresh vegan range is good also

The cook in the bag chickens are amazing.
See also the tempura battered fish burgers 🤤

Oh and these

Fresh pasta ravioli, particularly the sun-dried tomato and mozzarella
Specially Selected strawberry cheesecake ice-cream
Grilled pepper pasta sauce
Greek yoghurt
Specially selected rump steak
Free range whole chicken
Cans of diet lemonade
Stone baked pizzas (in fridge)
Dairy free mini magnum type things
