I figured it can't hurt to share here (rather than on local Facebook groups!).

Mine are:
Sainsburys: Mini breaded cambemberts (bloody hell they're good!).
Aldi: Torro Loco red wine, and "extra special" cauliflower cheese
M&S: Dulce de leche truffles

All very healthy as you can see....

Went to Aldi today. There is a special place in hell for all of you. I'm supposed to be on a diet so I'll be there as well for having zero willpower Sad

I am laughing at your lack of willpower, with the smugness of someone who will only last until their next trip to Aldi. I'm right behind you in the face stuffing queue. This thread was a double-edged sword!!!

dazzling those apricot chocolate hearts are DIVINE!!!! Go on, open them and tell us what you think!!

Rollmopsrule · 23/11/2020 15:07

Agree with Aldi peanut butter. Glass jar, no palm oil and nothing else added. So much cheaper than equivalent brands and delicious. Also Morrisons stone baked pitta are so lovely and soft. Not like the usual rock hard pitta

hetty74 · 23/11/2020 15:08

M&S yum nuts are so good . Working my way through the flavours but the original hasn’t been beaten yet 🤤

Rollmopsrule · 23/11/2020 15:09

Also Aldi lemon cheese cake is sooo good.Too good actually

dazzlingdeborahrose · 23/11/2020 15:11

@userxx They are indeed stollen bites. I'm sending those off to the on laws along with a bag of the lebkuchen hearts.
Perhaps a cup of coffee and a little heart when I get home from school run. They're only little. What harm could one little bikkie do?...

Agreed! You won’t regret it and will find yourself contemplating buying enough to last you until November 2021 when they disappear from the shelves in January 😂

M&S breaded chicken tenders from the fridge section - they are INCREDIBLE. Taste almost like KFC but hopefully not as awful for you. I keep them stocked in my freezer.

dazzlingdeborahrose · 23/11/2020 17:14

@CaveMum
Damn. Those hearts are good. Damn! Maybe I won't give a pack to the in laws after all. Would that be wrong?

Morrison’s Indian curry flavour premium crisps

sprockerdiles · 23/11/2020 17:18

Lidl - Fintons dry gin

Tesco - Finest four cheese and balsamic red onion pizza is delicious.

Non food - Tesco linen and orchid reed diffuser. We went to a gorgeous boutique hotel that smelled incredible and we discovered the source was this!

@icanboogieboogiewoogie

Actually, Aldi's posh salt and vinegar crisps are amazing. I reckon they're the same as the coop fancy ones which are much more expensive.
Me too. I was coming on here to say just that and to tell @SydneyCarton this in case she wasn’t aware!
Doordine · 23/11/2020 17:27

M&S own brand decaf teabags. Only decaf I've found that tastes as good.

CaveMum · 23/11/2020 17:28

@dazzlingdeborahrose if you haven’t promised them any I think it would be safer to keep them yourself. Never can be sure of the quality y’know, best not to risk giving them a substandard gift Wink

Doordine · 23/11/2020 17:29

Iceland crispy or breaded chicken strips or chunks. Amazing. Can't eat any other frozen nuggets now.

Doordine · 23/11/2020 17:41

Oh - favourite oat milk for coffee: Califia Barista style (from Sainsburys). So much nicer than Oatly.

Lidl low GI bread rolls: really unappetising name but they are the nicest rolls ever.

Doordine · 23/11/2020 17:42

Everyone knows this already but M&S cheese tasters are much better than Wotsits.

SydneyCarton · 23/11/2020 18:03

@Thefirsttime Thank you Smile. I’m not that near an Aldi unfortunately but I’ll give them a try if I get the chance!

Co-op used to do lovely salt and vinegar chipsticks but they changed the recipe a few years ago and they’re not the same Sad. I dread them doing the same thing with the Crisps of Deliciousness Shock

stayathomer · 23/11/2020 18:06

Aldi specially select yoghurts. Stick them in the freezer, let them thaw a tiny bit and be happy for the whole night (it takes that long to eat and you savour every second!) Also Aldi water- beautiful!!

userxx · 23/11/2020 18:09

Aldi water- beautiful!!

Eh? Did you mean Pinot ?

Waitrose venison meat balls, especially when they are 3 packs for £10.
I go to Tesco to buy their dark chocolate, the 74% , 86% and Mint are fabulous and were only £1 a bar last time I stocked up but I need to go soon. While I am there, I will hope they have their fab Tarte au Citron in stock. Vastly better than Lidl, Sainsburys or Waitrose.
waitrose Carrot cake, but Sainsbo Chocolate. cake
Sainsburys or waitrose vanilla custard (TTD or 1) not the bog standard one.Makes great fools etc.
Waitrose pizza with prawns and chilli.
Aldi sensitive shower gel that looks life Sanex.

CaveMum · 23/11/2020 18:13

Thought of another Aldi one - their tonic water. Normally they sell it in small cans (I use 2 per G&T) but every now and then it’s available in large bottles. I think it’s as good as Fever Tree and a fraction of the price.

CaveMum · 23/11/2020 18:14

Sorry, should have said the cans are sold in multipacks in little cardboard boxes - they’re usually up on the shelf in the soft drinks section.
