Despite shopping at Aldi for years I keep discovering new products.

This week it's cheesy hash browns (filled with cheese! A meal in themselves) and sea salt and lime tortilla chips- Both delicious.

Also over the summer, I discovered the specially selected sea salt and caramel ice cream stick were a particular hit. And the zx cola and Pringle dupes are better that the origjnals.

What are your favoured Aldi treats that I need to try next?

The bar of caramel chocolate, it's to die for

Mini brioche buns

I love Aldi and wish there was one closer to me

The frozen skin on fries especially when cooked in the Ninja Foodie. We won’t eat any other fries now!

The hash brown waffles are a favourite of DS.

The cheesy garlic pizza bread.

The Skyr yoghurts from the ‘to go’ section.

This makes us sound really unhealthy, we’re not I promise.

BeaucoupFish · 08/09/2021 18:07

The ‘gourmet’ crackers with rosemary and the sea salt ones are really good

Farmhouse yoghurt in the glass jars-THE BEST

The wagu beef burgers over the summer were amazing

I think their specially selected range is great

JTTWC · 20/09/2021 19:47

I just jumped on this thread to say those cheesy hash browns are the stuff of dreams and I went to Aldi earlier and completely forgot to get some! Their southern fried fish burgers are also good!

SkepticalCat · 20/09/2021 19:51

Ooh, I've bought fake Percy Pigs in Aldi before. I think they are called Leo the Lion. But I looked for them today and couldn't see them. I hope they haven't been discontinued.

KingsleyShacklebolt · 20/09/2021 19:58

We like the Moser Roth chocolates too. In Scotland they do "Finlays" crisps which are a dupe for Mackie's crisps and they are so nice, especially the sweet chilli ones. We are fans of the Norpak butter, and in the freezer section they do very nice panko breadcrumbed calamari and lemon and herb basa fillets.

Keep looking for their Christmas range in store soon - their lebkuchen is the best.

PossiblyPertunia · 20/09/2021 20:05

King Kebab - Peri Peri from the freezer section!

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 20/09/2021 20:48

The vegan salted caramel ice cream is AMAZING. Much, much nicer than posher brands.

Window1 · 20/09/2021 21:12

Sourdough pizzas from chiller

Caramelised apple crumble seems to be seasonal from freezer

Baked cheese in terracotta type pots in fridge

Tempura chicken in freezer

All their coffee sachets, like caramel latte etc

Jalapeño chilli jam

Lacura cotton deodorant, pineapple hot cloth cleanser, mango shower gel 😍, mighty everyday shampoo and conditioner.
Mamia veg straws and nappies, the kids hand wash
Ancient grains sliced bread
Specially selected strawberry jam
Ss Mediterranean pitta bread😍
Ss sausages
Ss stir in olive pasta sauce😍
Fishmonger chunky breaded haddock 😍
Organic porridge oats
Fake munch bunch😍
Medium cheddar
Greek style natural yogurt (omg 😍)
Rump steak
The fruit I have tried was fine apples, bananas, blueberry, raspberry
Carrots and salad all good
Have written down a few more bits from this thread.

Lots of my faves have been mentioned - the pumpkin and pine nut filled pasta is back right now! The pizzas are better than anywhere and this evening I've got some Zerozecco - and it's better than nosecco in my opinion! Love it
