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....

Many things from Aldi...

Aldi's chicken tikka slices are lovely in a wrap with the garlic mayo - and some salad for healthy points.

The mini bars of plain choc that come in a pack of 5. They can't possibly be unhealthy as they are so cute Wink

Co-op Caerphilly cheese. None of the other supermarkets apart from Morrisons seem to stock it and Morrisons is not as good.

Poppystars · 21/11/2020 22:15

Aldi’s Florentines - either their standard or posh boxes!!

CounsellorTroi · 21/11/2020 22:16

Oh and Morrisons champagne recently came out top in a taste test, even beating Moet and Chandon.

Also love Tesco ancient grains rolls.

Qpobb · 21/11/2020 22:18

I second the Morrisons salmon fillets! DP buys them once a week, fries them until the skin crisps up and then finishes them off in the oven. He serves them on top of a mushroom and lemon risotto. The fillets just fall apart and have the perfect amount of fat so they taste really creamy. Amazing stuff!

The lidl greek style coconut yoghurt. Gorgeous.

JingleAndTonic · 21/11/2020 22:19

Another vote here for the Co-op salt and vinegar crisps, and the Christmas roast potato ones are also divine.

Also the Co-op truffle salsiccia pizza, out of this world. I could eat two in one sitting.

I really like the Co-op Grin

And not so secret is the Lidl cheese twists, don't think I need to say much more.

keeprocking · 21/11/2020 22:20

Lidl, Black Forest ham, it's breakfst with cantaloupe melon and strawberries, loads of crushed black pepper and a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Aldi, I think, vegetable crisps.

Qpobb · 21/11/2020 22:21

@OhCobblers Thank you - I must have missed that one!

Aldi Greek Style Yoghurt. Full fat.
Aldi Florentines - Xmas time only.

Twofurrycatsagain · 21/11/2020 22:23

Lidl deluxe frozen meat things. I've had a beef joint and a lamb guard of honour. Very good and you cook them from frozen (great for me who forgets to take stuff out of the freezer). They don't have them all the time but do on the run up to Xmas.

CandyflossKid · 21/11/2020 22:23

@AragonsGirl

Macaraca Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from Aldi. £4.99 a bottle, bargain!
Yes! Love this - esp as its £4.99
dementedma · 21/11/2020 22:24

Aldi Florentines, layered yoghurts, Moser Roth Chocolate
Lidl bakery, flapjacks are amazing. Lidl own brand gin.

Mrbay · 21/11/2020 22:24

Lidl - creme brulee ice cream - OMG so amazing!

The vegetarian range is aldi is pretty amazing, even my meat loving DH will actively asked for something from the range for tea. Today's lunch was a chickpea curry parcel - very yummy! They did nacho cheese bean burgers earlier in the year and they were simply amazing!

Shhhh don't tell people about the skin on fries in aldi!

Oh the frozen basa fish in aldi is very cheap but so tasty!

SweatyBetty20 · 21/11/2020 22:25

Stop talking about T L! I had a stash and I’ve only got one bottle left and it’ll be all gone!!

bluerad · 21/11/2020 22:25

Aldi jars of sun dried tomatoes and roasted peppers.

Thighdentitycrisis · 21/11/2020 22:25

I love Sainsbury’s Moroccan black olives in a jar

I will be going to Aldi soon though!

Zixxy · 21/11/2020 22:26

Aldi potato gratin and additive full spicy mac n cheese. Wafer thin chicken and ham, salmon on crutches. I am walking around my local Aldi as we speak.

So much stuff in my fridge and my belly is protruding. But who gives a shiny Sh. these days. Thank god I have a savoury tooth. Otherwise my house would be full of crap.

Oh and the drinks aisle. I live in Ireland and a new law has been introduced where the alcohol section has to be sectioned off in supermarkets. It's like the Wild West with the Saloon doors. LOL. I love Ireland for the fun memes it throws out. But as long as we can still buy grog, no one cares.

Greektome · 21/11/2020 22:26

Tesco corn bread. Co op chilli and cheese bread. Tesco strawberry buttermilk is delicious.

QueenPaws · 21/11/2020 22:27

Sainsburys gherkins (£1, sliced jar ones) taste like McDonald's gherkins. I'm eating them by the jar

Ginfordinner · 21/11/2020 22:29

@Threeforagirl

Tesco finest aioli tastes like the dominos pizza garlic dip. A jar gets demolished every time we do homemade pizzas...
That's good to know. I just love the stuff
GinAtMerlottes · 21/11/2020 22:29

Aldi sriracha tortilla chips
Sainsburys TTD blueberry baked cheesecake - best baked cheesecake you can buy from somewhere non specialist
Aldi Red Fox Leicester cheese
Aldi Fleur Prairies wine, excellent Whispering Angel dupe

Haggisfish · 21/11/2020 22:30
