What’s DH coming home with?

Sent DH to Aldi with a list of about £40 worth of food.

It’s just pinged on my banking app that he has spent £84! He will be home in ten minutes…

Any guesses what he is coming home with?

I’m going for some sort of middle aisle electric saw that will sit in the shed for the next 10 years unused!

A riding crop, XXXL pleather driving gloves and a toastie maker.

I think he has now realised how ridiculous buying a hot-tub shelving unit, a cardboard playhouse and a set if heated rollers is and he is hiding.

Nuts? My husband once filled a bag with those self serve nuts in Aldi and it came to £12.
We were supposed to be doing a cheap shop too Hmm

Has he been in the random shit Aisle?

Does anyone else call it the random shit Aisle?

Btw I absolutely love the RSA.

6 reduced turkeys for the freezer Grin

Not relevant to the OP, but I once saw a man in Aldi obviously (and bizarrely) trying to impress his new date. They got to the centre aisle, and he said: “I call this the silly aisle.” It took me to the till before I worked out the pun*.

*silly aisle = Scilly Isles for those as slow on the uptake as me.

Actually I went to Aldi this morning and bought 4 Christmas puddings for 9p each!
Maybe you have A lifetime supply of Christmas puddings.

If it was my DH it would be ice cream and dishwasher salt as he always thinks we are running out.

Nothing we want or need.

If anything like mine, he doubles up or more, on everything.

This thread is making my day Grin

Echobelly · 09/01/2022 16:21

@thenewduchessoflapland - yes, I think lots of people call it the 'random shit aisle'

Justkeeppedaling · 09/01/2022 16:21

Any update OP?

Kimono
Weirdy chopping gadget
Hamster ball

This thread is like some sort if shag/marry/cliff.

Maybe more like keep/regift to arsehole relative/load into a trebuchet pointing at boris.

Kettle.

Ariela · 09/01/2022 16:23

He's clearly not come home with it?! Does he read MN?

BobLemon · 09/01/2022 16:25

How flipping far away do they live from Aldi?!
