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 Macchiato sticks - little chocolate bars, gorgeous if you like the chocolate in Kinder eggs and coffee (they do hazelnut and strawberry flavour too but macchiato is by far the best)

Lidl Finest frozen Potato Gratins the Emmenthal flavour, they're only in store around Christmas so we load the freezer

We have Asda delivery and use Waitrose for the mini shops.
Asda fresh guacamole tastes like piss but Waitrose’s is soooo nice. Always thought these things were made at the same factory 😂

Waitrose Essential Brussels pate...just yum!

Asda version of Krave cereal is the best one!

Co op own boxed cakes their all lovely.
M and S chunky haddock in batter or breadcrumbs it’s the only frozen fish we eat. And also Asda doughnuts.

LaceyBetty · 22/11/2020 14:02

Aldi's stollen bites.

HillaryWhitney · 22/11/2020 14:06

Oh god how could I forget about the Aldi breakfast pork patties. You can literally recreate a Maccas brekkie at home

I buy the English muffins and plastic cheese form Aldi as well

HillaryWhitney · 22/11/2020 14:07

@userxx yes

Qpobb · 22/11/2020 14:11

@hillarywhitney Oh stop it, I just came back from Aldi and you're teasing me with those now!!!

I've just discovered the Katsu breadcrumbs from Morrisons. Total game changer for chicken or anything else in breadcrumbs 😋

I8toys · 22/11/2020 17:58

I've only just discovered Lidl so keen for recommendations.

M&S Cornish Cruncher baked cheese, reduced fat houmous best I've had, piri piri chicken and anchovies from their deli range.

Lidl chocolate batons (wrapped in cellophane in a gold sleeve). Quite expensive by Lidl standards- about £3? - and lovely.

wizzbangfizz · 22/11/2020 18:06

Great thread going to be trying a few of these!

OscarWildesCat · 22/11/2020 18:08

M&S microwave prawn dim sum. They are amazing. DH and I both love them, our local petrol station is a M&S simply food and we both, without saying, make a point of getting fuel there just to pick some up 😬

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 22/11/2020 18:12

@RickOShay

Co op crunchy peanut butter is the best and it’s in a glass jar.
No. Morrison's is the best - especially the honey roast peanut butter. We don't have one near us, so every few months I have to make a special trip and buy ten jars Blush
FippertyGibbett · 22/11/2020 18:13

Anyone else made a list , or is it just me 🤣

JustAPassingFashion · 22/11/2020 18:16

Morrison's salt and pepper tiger loaf & Aldi's Greek yoghurt Grin

Not together.

Lookingoutadirtyoldwindow · 22/11/2020 18:32

If you can find it big Sainsbury's usually Patel's tandoori paste. Mix with yoghurt tastes exactly l like proper tandoori from an Indian restaurant. When I see it I buy jars of it.
Thankyou for all the ideas

Lookingoutadirtyoldwindow · 22/11/2020 18:32

Pateks

I've made a sorted spreadsheet for my phone Blush

maverickallthetime · 22/11/2020 19:41

@baffledcoconut I've not been able to get artichokes in either Lidl or Aldi for ages and they are so expensive on other shops

wilsontribe07 · 22/11/2020 19:54

Fresh tartare sauce from Waitrose (Waitrose own brand), Aldi Christmas pudding, Lidl chocolate cottage (frozen pudding in the shape of a cottage!), M&S roast dinner in a giant Yorkie for one, Yorkshire biscuit tea (from Asda)

WineNotTheLabel · 22/11/2020 20:49

Chilli, salt and pepper spice from Home Bargains

Mummyoply · 22/11/2020 23:22

M & S Vegan Kievs are the best ever and can be ordered via Ocado now too!

Duffmcstockings · 22/11/2020 23:37

The feathers wine in Lidl. Black label with feathers. Dead ringer for villa maria WinkWink

shas19 · 22/11/2020 23:42

Aldi lemon posset and chocolate ganache in glass jars, insane.
Aldi coconut and lime chicken slices, taste like coronation chicken!
Aldi skin on fries, chocolate/salted caramel churros
Aldi vodka, the one that looks like grey goose
Lidl rice pudding in fridge section, it has clotted cream in need I say more
Lidl nappies
Lidl bakery, blueberry filled muffins, brownies, mixed veg pizza slice
Lidl gelato ice cream hazelnut and coffee oh my God
Lidl hortus gin, I think its BlackBerry and something, its purple.
Like frozen cocktails, the mojito is lovely
I'm a supermarket slut
