I went to Aldi today and I bought...

[ConorMcGregorsChin]

It's Tuesday night. Brexit and other awful stuff dominates the news. Cheer me up please and tell me what you have bought from the aisle of randomness.

I went in today for Bread and Milk. And came out with a glue gun and a pair of swimming goggles (Damn you, DD)

I'm of a certain age. I remember the Victoria Wood sketch where she said if you can't get me a raspberry yoghurt, get me something else. So her friend got her a meat and potato pie...

I'm waiting for the baby and toddler event Thursday, been pre browsing online and discovered a 30% off old special buys sale!

I Went to Morrison’s for ice cream, came back with a pritt stick, pens, a hot water bottle and almost an aloe Vera plant but I put it back because I got distracted by the pens...

I bought a halter and a hay net once. I don't own a horse. Or ride.

What the actual heck?! How how how? WHY?!
Cracking up.

No no no, don't call it the aisle of shite. We call it

"the aisle of mysterious things"

Went in for milk, came out with a hammock.

Those farmhouse jars are great, DH eats the yoghurt and I then use them for kitchen storage. They appear to be airtight and I am slowly uniforming my storage.

They have a paint sprayer in there at the moment, I've always wanted one but I can't justify it.

I went in to get their apple biscotti a few months ago and came out with bum moisturiser (it smells like holiday alcohol, I just like to open it and smell it sometimes), chocolate, seaweed and a crafting jar for my 2 year old.

I went for a few bits and also came back with a cat bed that has ears! Dcat loves it though,
i have previously gone in specifically to pick up babybel cardboard boxes as the other cats were fighting over the one i had

I want a tie dye kit but they are all sold out here :(

What’s holiday alcohol?

@ConorMcGregorsChin - I remember Julie Walters talking about VW (after her death) saying one of the saddest things being that VW would have made a very funny 'older' person.

I remember the meat & potato line too.

IIRC the person buying it was called 'Sandra'

@Benjispruce the only name I can think of is Malibu, but it doesn't smell like Malibu, just that general type of scent.

I went in for maple bacon and came out with a hand held gadget for cleaning Venetian blinds. I don’t have blinds of any sort fitted to any windows!

I love a Malibu but Aldi’s own is called Castaway and almost as nice. I love the copycat names.

Dh went to Lidl today for bread and milk, and bought bread and milk. We were all very disappointed.

I went into Aldi for wine... came out with a snorkel mask & flippers set. (& wine)

I went in yesterday for milk. They had no 4-pinters. I didn't want a load of 2 pints as they wast too much space in the door. I bought nothing, because I knew I'd also pass M&S on the way home.
Won't list all the yummy-but-I-don't NEED-it food I came out with.

I reckon M&S is just a posh foodie version of Aldi - loads of weird but very nice food crap you don't actually need.

@3dogs2cats surely you need to ltb?

pain chocolat and a dental polishing kit(of course)

I went to Aldi once for my weekly shop... And failed to buy a flamethrower as I left my ID at home. DH was most displeased as he then had to make a special trip for it!

On ski wear week we got there 30mins after opening and had to fight through the crowds to get stuff in the right sizes.

Going to Aldi tomorrow then. I need the hot glue gun snorkel and flippers set and of course the mermaid slime for DD. Love the isle of random!!!

I am very proud of myself - just got back from a big shop at Aldi and I didn't get one single thing from the aisle of shite .

We call it the middle aisle o’ madness

Impulse bought a paddling pool a few weeks ago.

I went to aldi for milk today.

Came home with milk, a tie dye kit, a footstool ( which is so lovely and a total bargain) and a red diffuser.

My most recent random purchase at Lidl was a battery powered foot file.
