They do at mine! Never seen tofu though.

Whereland · 20/06/2020 19:18

Pink grapefruit juice!

TheBabyAteMyBrain · 20/06/2020 19:18

Pesto, Breadcrumbs, breadsticks, filo pastry.

AreWeNearlyHairnet · 20/06/2020 19:20

No dental floss at ours.

And no cleaning sponges either (not the green and yellow ones with a scouring side for doing the washing up, I mean larger ones).

PleasantVille · 20/06/2020 19:20

I'm pretty sure mine sells it but the point of Aldi and llidl is that they don't stock everything, that's how they keep the prices low. A list of what they don't stock I'd guess runs to 1000s of things

A few things which is one reason why I don,t shop there as you always end up having to go else where to top up.

The lines vary between stores.

Pesto and breadsticks in my Aldi.

apapuchi · 20/06/2020 19:23

Tomato juice at ours, Lidl (practically a neighbour) does.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 20/06/2020 19:24

Dried lentils and pulses. Brown rice (not microwave pouches)
They don’t sell greaseproof paper in my local Aldi either.
Decent totilet roll!

Roomba · 20/06/2020 19:24

No greaseproof paper or dental floss at mine either, but plenty of pesto and breadsticks ! Sure I've seen breadcrumbs and filo pastry there too?

Roomba · 20/06/2020 19:26

Mine definitely has brown rice and dried lentils and pulses, I buy them regularly. But no low cal hot chocolate, which is a shame as I used to like the one they had in before.

LudaMusser · 20/06/2020 19:26

Fresh bread and pastries which is why I've ditched ALDI and use Lidl. There's is brilliant

thisstooshallpass · 20/06/2020 19:28

Just briefly scrolled the first few posts and pretty sure Lidl sell all the stuff Aldi is missing.

Lidl also sells lost of branded stuff, you're not tied into own brand.

Will Turkey stick to Greece proof paper?
Grin

mylittlesandwich · 20/06/2020 19:31

I'm in the middle of 2 Aldi's and one sells loads of things the other doesn't and vice versa.

Tuemay · 20/06/2020 19:31

Condoms.

DivisionBelles · 20/06/2020 19:33

Our local Aldi didn't stock lentils which meant I had to go to Tesco to buy them. I tweeted them, they replied that they'd do their best to get them in and within a week or so they stocked them. They don't always have them, but 9/10 they are on the shelf. If you want something in particular it's worth asking.

LynetteScavo · 20/06/2020 19:35

Haha greaseproof. Grin. I rely on spellcheck to much!

My Aldi has breadsticks several Typs of pesto, but never floss or condoms.

Our aldi does pesto and chickpea falafel.

But no free from stuff. Or not enough regularly.

I need vegan and wheat free foods.
And they don't do a recycled toilet roll or ecological and sensitive washing liquids or cleansing products

Longdistance · 20/06/2020 19:36

I prefer Lidl’s. The Aldi had so many gaps in the shelves with their products I gave up. The Lidl pretty much had everything. I think the choice of sandwich cold cuts is better in Lidl than Aldi. The veg is hit and miss, but the Aldi looked like it’d been burgled for fruit and veg as there was always gaps.

Witchofzog · 20/06/2020 19:37

No balsamic glaze in ours. But they have recently started to stock capers which made me ridiculously happy.

Mine does pesto and breadsticks!

No plain couscous though.
