What do you like from Aldi?

[Invasionofthegutsnatchers]

New branch just opened near us. Tesco is getting more expensive so thought I'd give Aldi a go. Any recommendations of things to try?

Oh yes, as pp said, cornflakes are fine and only 50p.

The Romeo bars. Knock off Bounty bars but they actually taste better

They do! Bloody lovely.

Avid Aldi shopper, love it, but.....
What's going on with the dark soy sauce there? It's all sealed etc so it's not a faulty bottle, but it doesn't have a shaker on it, so when you pull the plastic ring off and go to use it, nearly all the bottle comes pouring out!
I won't be buying it again from there

Rose facial oil.
Mince pies.

Toro loco red (the organic one with the green label) and their mini brioche.

Pine nuts .
Every other shop charges ridiculous prices for nuts, except Aldi.

Almost everything, except their bread rolls taste soda like.
I don’t buy cleaning stuff as bu eco bio d, and oranges, very few things I think you’ll dislike

Chocolate chip cake bars

@OooohAhhhh I thought exactly the same when I opened a new bottle this evening, my noodles were nearly swimming in it!

DP also tells me that their anti bac wipes are not nearly as “juicy” as dettol ones and the crumpets don’t rival Warburtons but apart from that we love most things.

Clotted cream rice pudding - it's absolutely delicious

Oooh watching with interest - it’s the same here - brand new branch. I took a very very quick look and picked up some gorgeous hand soaps, OP! I’ve forgotten the name of them but the scents - orange & bergamot and rhubarb & rose - were just gorgeous!

Ooo noted!

@nancybotwinbloom

Most of it actually.

The florentines are amazing 🤩

Oh man I was trying to forget about the florentines! They are amazing! I eat them by the box!

They do a specially selected chicken kiev - delicious.

The blond chocolate honeycomb is amazing.

It all sounds lovely!

I’ve got an Aldi near me but because I’ve used Ocado for nearly 20 years, I’ve got a bit lazy about supermarket shopping.

Are their strawberries good? I find them so tasteless lately from other places.

Their fake greggs frozen products!
Their ready meals are pretty decent, for ready meals.
The vegan cauliflower sausages
Cheese
Yoghurts
Chocolate and crisps are great

Their fake greggs frozen products!

The bean one is lovely.

Is it Aldi where they have that fast/aggressive checkout process and you have to keep up? Or is that Lidl?

@bendmeoverbackwards I think they’re both like that. Thankfully our Aldi has recently implemented self checkouts which you can use trolleys with which has genuinely made me shop there more as I can’t cope with the packing when I’m doing a big shop and there’s only me to pack!

Frozen tempura fish burgers. Chicken and mango flatbread pizzas. The chilled sticky toffee pudding is divine! Their chicken soup and mushroom soup are both as good as Heinz in my opinion.

Both those stores prefer it if you just chuck all of your shopping back into your trolley then move to the long bench at the front of the store to do your own packing.

I often take one or two of those big rubber buckets with handles, throw all my shopping in then just put them in the boot.
