To be horrified that Aldi have stopped my favourite jam..

Title says it all really. They've stopped making their raspberry conserve and I'm lost without it. My poor toast will have to now deal with some knock off raspberry jam. Alas! Worst part is they replaced it with rhubarb and strawberry?? Heavens no!

Lidl do a nice one.

Although, to quote A A Milne, many people nowadays like marmalade instead.

Its so annoying when they discontinue stuff. I loved the Asda apple and cherry high juice, it tastes like cherry drop sweets. Haven't been able to buy it for ages so looks like they've discontinued it, bastards Angry

Lidl jam is fab - apricot, raspberry, morello cherry, etc all delicious!

notsogreenthumb · 17/06/2021 20:49

Ooh thank you @SpindleWhorl! I'll have a look. Aldi's was right up there with Bonne Maman. Such a shame!

WHAT??? I have half a jar in my fridge and will be devastated if they’ve stopped selling it 😭

notsogreenthumb · 17/06/2021 20:50

@MegaClutterSlut some warning would be nice! So we can stock up

No way! It’s the only stuff my dd will have and we go through loads of it! Just raspberry?!

Frazzled2207 · 17/06/2021 20:51

Are you sure? Mine often doesn’t have raspberry in but obviously that’s a bit different to discontinuing. Shall we start something on Twitter?!

LadyJaye · 17/06/2021 21:01

Lidl's morello cherry is genuinely life-affirming. Happiness on toast.

Babyroobs · 17/06/2021 21:02

The Lidl one is lovely, 50% fruit I think.

edamismadebackwards · 17/06/2021 21:05

The strawberry and rhubarb is lovely!

Wrotten · 17/06/2021 21:06

@notsogreenthumb I'm pregnant and hormonal. This is the sort of thing I'd cry over. I feel very strongly about it on your behalf. 🤣

Are you sure it has gone forever? I couldn't find risotto rice at mine for months, then they had an Italy promotion and I stocked up on loads. Just waiting to get linseed back and I will be happy. Maybe will start stockpiling the frozen cherry and chocolate pudding we love.

Reallybadidea · 17/06/2021 21:14

Really? I've just added some to my basket, which it won't let me do if it's out of stock. Although maybe it's the last jar?

I love this too. They also used to do the most delicious Sicilian Lemon Tart - much nicer than Waitrose and very similar to the Cook one but a fraction of the price. It was stocked for a few months then, puff, disappeared. So annoying!

covidandborisandworld · 17/06/2021 21:42

Aldi are fab but they annoy me in that the food is so seasonal and then they don't bring something back the following Christmas Easter whatever.

It's very very annoying Aldi head office !!!!!

Welikebeingcosy · 17/06/2021 21:44

I just saw another post on the main board titled 'Does anyone make their own jam?'. I genuinely thought maybe that was your follow on post for this recent loss. 😂
However maybe you could have a look and get some ideas for recipes as lots of people seem to be contributing .

Yes, click and collect.

Zealois · 17/06/2021 21:53

I hate getting attached to items in Aldi because often disappear for large periods of time or just forever. ☹️

MarianneUnfaithful · 17/06/2021 21:55

Rhubarb and Strawberry sounds fantastic!
:runs:

But

Sorry. Hugs and thoughts.

Reallybadidea · 17/06/2021 21:56

Yeah, there used to be a pear and elderflower drink that was amazing. Haven't had it for 5 years but it doesn't stop me checking every time I go in!
