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....

Lidl white chocolate magnums and their mint ones are by far better than proper magnums. The ice cream in the lidl ones actually has flavour to it

Tesco salted plantain chips
Chocolate coated lotus biscoff ice cream with crushed up lotus biscuit in it

M&S best ever mince pies. Usually sold as singles in the in store bakery (last year you could get boxes of 4). They are larger than average mince pie and are bloody awesome - full of gorgeous mincemeat and crumbly pastry. They’re not cheap though as I spent £4.80 on 4 mince pies but there’s only me who eats them.

Tomorrow I will be going for a walk to the co-op for crisps of dreams

"Also enjoying Aldi beef and horseradish crisps, anyone who is still hankering after brannigans roast beef and mustard crisps should try them!!"

And Aldi (it's gonna be a long walk!)

Aldi belgian chocolate melt in the middle puddings are amazing.

Whatup · 22/11/2020 02:41

Just had a bottle of torro locco tonight and venison , red cabbage + streaky bacon and new potatoes.

pressedclay · 22/11/2020 02:57

I can never find anything I like in Aldi, perhaps Lidl is better?

Qpobb · 22/11/2020 07:13

Aldi is the clear winner - I'm going to walk down today in search of the amazing sounding skin on fries!

The garlic dip comment has captured our hearts.

Oh, and M&S Doux de Montagne cheese - hello! It's so soft and so creamy. It always sells out so other people must be on to me...

Lidl deluxe creamy coleslaw is amazing, and particularly nice in a jacket potato.

Aldi vegan sausage rolls!

Lincslady53 · 22/11/2020 08:34

Aldi and Lidl both sell chocolate coated marzipan bars at this time of year. I love the run and raisin version.

Strictlysilly · 22/11/2020 08:35

Better than gu ones if you like rich chocolate you will love it

thismeansnothing · 22/11/2020 08:37

Aldi choceur Salted pretzel chocolate. AMAZING nice and salty.

I'm not a big ice cream fan but had a tub of Waitrose #1 white chocolate and salted caramel ice cream the other week. White chocolate ice.cream with broken cinnamon biscuit bits running through it and a salted caramel core. My god it was bloody good.

HillaryWhitney · 22/11/2020 08:38

Sorry not food - but the Aldi reed diffusers are brilliant! Really strong scents and last for ages

Frankola · 22/11/2020 08:45

Aldis own chocolate is lovely but I doubt its a secret Grin those truffle things they do at Christmas are unreal!

thismeansnothing · 22/11/2020 08:48

Oooo and I don't go here very often. But icelands hot and spicy fish fillet strips are fab. Handy on a wrap with salad for a quick tea

AriesTheRam · 22/11/2020 08:53

Lidl baking potatoes.You get a big bag of decent sized potatoes.Great for thick chips as well as jackets.

Phwooooar · 22/11/2020 08:58

Pomegranate molasses from Waitrose as a marinade, sauce, dip - anything - and I’d never heard of it before I spied another of these threads a while ago

Lotsachocolateplease · 22/11/2020 09:04

Seems to me that Aldi do a lot of very Lovely things and I need to go! It’s the one shop that’s in the next town so I rarely get there but after reading this thread I’m planning a visit next week.
My contribution is to second Lidl’s luxury coleslaw. And Lidl’s mini stollen is simply divine Smile

PercyPiglet1 · 22/11/2020 09:05

Tesco Finest crisps, especially the Prawn Marie Rose ones only £1 for a giant bag and better than Kettle chips.

sparklefarts · 22/11/2020 09:13

Co-ops own brand decaf tea bags. Miles better than all other brands
