What are Lidl/Aldi cereals like?

[Lottie4]

I buy a few things from Lidl and Aldi when passing. Can anyone let me know if they think Lidl and Aldi cereals are as good as well known brands or say Tescos own brand. Do you have any recommendations?

DH reckons we'll be able to tell the difference.

I can recommend Aldi's porridge oats (1kg paper packs), 'exotic' muesli, rice pops, weetbix, red berries special'B' and fruity wheaties. Even DP who usually insists branded cereals are superior finds them acceptable!

Is the Greek yogurt that everyone raves about flavoured? I just can't stomach natural yogurt but intrigued to give this a try!

Aldi shreddies cherrios fruit and fibre ( prefer that to other brands tbh) weetabix ( not the ultra cheap ones they yo mushy) are all eaten in quantity happily here.

All I can say is the exotic fruits luxury muesli is MINE ALL MINE trouble is other people think so too and the " mixed cases" get picked clean leaving the inferior berry and nut versions.

Btw do a challenge. Get some containers. Decant usual cereal and after a few weeks swap one and see if anyone can tell which and even cares!

The Aldi cereals in my cupboard - Aldi versions of 'shreddies', 'ready brek', 'rice krispies', 'special K', 'Cheerios' - are all fortified with vitamins.

I met someone the other day who worked in the food industry and she told me the Lidl muesli boxed like Dorset Cereals is actually the same as it is made by Dorset Cereals to the same recipe. Only the packaging is different.

We like the Special K with berries Lidl version, but it doesn't have all the added vitamins that Kellogg's or the mainstream supermarket ones do.

Aldi really nutty muesli is delicious, lots of nuts and fruit, and unsweetened. Don't tell everyone though, as in my local store it's the nutty cereal that gets cherry-picked out of the mixed boxes, leaving the tropical and berry ones.
I'm only short, and they are on the top shelf. I've had to shift 5 boxes out of the way to find the one box at the back before...

Ok - Aldi (Harvest Moon) shreddies, coco pops and corn flakes are all fortified with the same list of things in Nestle Cheerios ( rogue box bought by DH)
Aldi wheat bisks only have 5 listed, not the vitamins or pantothenic acid.

So guess you need to check the boxes -DC are 4&1 so not able to tell difference

DH and I love the Really nutty muesli - far less sugar than "proper" branded stuff

I am now managing to do our full weekly shop in Aldi, yes occasionally stuff isn't as good & you need to pick freshest looking veg but I can stomach that with the massive savings vs what our Tesco shop used to be
