These pop up from time to time...but not for a while.

I don't go to Lidl, but from Aldi, we buy:

  • milk
  • bread (normal loaf)
  • flat stotties - probably 'barm cakes' to you
  • broiche - chocolate and vanilla both yummy
  • sweet waffles
  • tinned tomatoes
  • bags of pasta/rice
  • coleslaw
  • bagged salad
  • cucumber
  • baby plum tomatoes
  • bananas
  • dish washer tablets
  • washing tablets
  • most household cleaning products
  • nappies and wipes
  • juice cartons for lunch boxes
  • cereal - especially bran flakes
  • not from concentrate orange juice
  • little beers
  • pretend Pimms and Baileys

Will keep thinking

Good timing!

An Aldi has opened up a few miles away and I've been meaning to start a thread to see if it was worth the journey!

Yes, strawberry jam.

Dried apricots - really soft.

Pesto - someitmes really interesting varieties like chilli and coriander.

Tinnes tomatoes

Parmesan, marscapone and mozarella, all rather cheap.

NoNickname · 14/04/2008 17:55

Oh - Lidl bin bags are THE BEST. Very strong (probably not very enviro-friendly though ) and very big. Brilliant.

dizzydixies · 14/04/2008 17:56

lidl does a very nice potato salad lol

popsycal · 14/04/2008 17:57

aldi's is quite nice too

any deli-type stuff is great - cured meats, olives, cheese. All bulk bought by German procurement, so ace quality.

DrNortherner · 14/04/2008 18:02

Aldi face products are fab. Day cream, night cream and eye cream.

KMUN · 14/04/2008 18:04

My mum bigs-up Aldi's CoQ10 night cream too. Apparently it won an award and costs under £2. Result.

PABLOP · 14/04/2008 18:04

shame it can't be bought on-line!

CrackerOfNuts · 14/04/2008 18:04

Aldi do these little crispy bite things with raisins and sunflower seeds in. They are so yummy and you cannot just eat one.
