Thanks again for posting this.

Aldi in Parnell Street still had plenty of these this morning - the cashier laughed at me for buying five bags of Haribo and nothing else...

I've just emerged from a sugar-induced coma.

Haribo, you delicious bastards.

Just bought a bottle of Nugan cabernet shiraz in Centra beside the train station in Drumcondra for EU5.99. I've drunk a lot worse before for three times the price.

Nugan Estate €10.69 – now €7.69

Nugan Third Generation €8.99 promo €5.99
· Shiraz/Cabernet
· Chardonnay
· Shiraz
· Semillon/Chardonnay

Promo runs till Sat 19th Sept

From the producer's email;

"Nugan Estate uses:

Casein / Skim Milk Powder for removal of phenolics in Botrytis Semillon *. Milk & Milk Products are not consumed by Vegans (but is/may be consumed by Vegetarians). Casein / Skim Milk is not used in any other products for fining at Nugan Estate.

We do not (nor have ever) use Animal Products (eg: Gelatin, Isinglass, etc) & thus, all wines produced at Nugan Estate are compliant for Vegetarians. "

So it looks like all of the above are suitable for vegans.

*Botrytis Semillon is neither stocked nor on promotion by the above retailers.

I bought a Lemon Sorbet carton in Tesco on Friday - it's clearly labelled as "suitable for vegans" and the price was EUR 1.49
(I hope this qualifies as a special offer! I had never seen vegan lemon sorbet in Tesco before!)

Thoushaltnot · 06-05-2010 4:34pm

Thanks for the Haribo tip - got 10 packets, then went back a couple of days later and got the last 3. I've sent Aldi a thank you email for that and the Granose veggie pates.

BTW, spotted bags of those Haribo "Funny Mix" sweets in Holland and Barret, Swan Centre, Rathmines for €1.39..for the hard-up. Still no sign of those veggie Haribo "Jelly Beans" in my local SuperQuinn in Ranelagh.

Not much doing, bargain-wise, at the mo but Dunnes are selling Traditional Cheese Co. cheese (veggie rennet) - 400g blocks for €3.

06-05-2010 7:49pm

Are those granose pates nice ThouShaltnot?

Thoushaltnot · 06-05-2010 10:48pm

Yup - I thought so. Especially the Shiitake one. They all have a slight smokey taste going on and not as solid as a Brussels pate. I'm sure they're not to everybody's taste but defo a great standby for a picnic or a buffet. Nice alternative to butter in a sambo. I think all 3 are suitable for vegans but they do contain yeast. For 99c, ye cannae go far wrong.

Thoushaltnot · 19-05-2010 8:08pm

The 336g bags of frozen Quorn sausages are half price at €1.27 in Tesco Dundrum (and presumably, all the bigger better Tescos). Till the 25th.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 20-05-2010 7:03pm

there's bags of sprouted beans and stuff in Tesco for €1.39 and €1.99 depending on what they are, the only ones I can remember are mung beans though. Pretty handy.

Tar.Aldarion · 26-05-2010 9:39pm

You will be farting a lot. Thanks for the heads up on this one, supervalu is round the corner from my house and I haven't seen this offer there. Gonna go look tomorrow, I loves me my mixed beans I does!!

Talking of supervalu, they had an offer on their own crisps, buy one get one free, I think it's still on - their 100g packs of onion rings and bacon fries. They are vegan! :pac::pac::pac:

sweet-rasmus · 27-05-2010 10:14pm

Oh I'm actually out the door now with my bag just with the aim of buying lots of beans and eh a packet of chilli peanuts

Tar.Aldarion · 27-05-2010 11:42pm

Just bought 24! Offer extends to butter beans, chick peas, kidney beans, chili kidney beans.

Getwellsoon · 01-06-2010 5:53am

christ almighty, you are gonna be full of beans!!!

*jumps around*

I got some too, only the mixed beans and the butter beans though. I aint as rich as you.

Tar.Aldarion · 01-06-2010 1:46pm

I'm verrrry poot, that's why I got them when I could:P

F4Fake · 01-06-2010 10:01pm

Holland & Barrett have a special offer on Body Fortress protein at the minute (any flavour). Half-price, so €20 instead of €40. Might be useful for any vegetarians looking to supplement their protein intake.

DonnieScribbles · 04-07-2010 11:29pm

Just in case any avid chickpea fans are unaware, Aldi now do a 500g bag of dried chickpeas for 99c. Cheapest you can get them anywhere I'd say. I am pleased

Tar.Aldarion · 04-07-2010 11:38pm

Oh deadly! me and soaking are enemies but I shall endeavour

DonnieScribbles · 04-07-2010 11:43pm

I find leaving them soaking once I get up and then cooking them in the hours of darkness to be most effective! Leaving them overnight means you'll be stuck in during the day looking after them and chickpeas can take up to 3 hours too :mad:

I cook too many beans.

Tar.Aldarion · 04-07-2010 11:51pm

Never enough! Sure I bought two dozen tines...when our press was already full!

Might have a loook when I am over aldi way tomorrow.

bought lentils tehre that need soaking, DAMMMMMMMMMM

henryporter · 05-07-2010 1:47pm

There are two ways of fast tracking the dried bean thing -

1.wash beans; place in water in saucepan and bring to rapid boil for 10 minutes; take off heat and leave to soak for one hour; put back on heat and bring to boil, then simmer for 1 hour; done

2. Get a pressure cooker!

I came across a method somewhere that said you could bring them to the boil and then soak them for four hours. If I can get away with just one hour this is very good news!

There's no need to soak lentils.

sweet-rasmus · 18-07-2010 12:41am

Yeah, I was thinking that too. But i wondered if these were some particular variety... Either way, soaking them does no harm and would speed the cooking, but shouldn't be necessary.

Tar.Aldarion · 18-07-2010 1:43am

heard that, but unsure why different varieties all ahve different soaking times, from 0 to hours, all on the pack

I feel like I post a lot about beans in this thread.

DonnieScribbles · 16-09-2010 9:51pm

More good Aldi stuff next Thursday, well, if you like baking :P Maple syrup for €3.99! Tis usually about €6 or €7... Some cool looking cake tins too and their cocoa powder is back again which I've missed these past few months. They stopped stocking it and it's the cheapest you can get anywhere (€1.59).

It's all here just scroll down a bit (unless you're looking to do some welding!)

Edit: They're cake tin liners, damn, not as exciting.

Not when you have to spent time washing the slimy liquidy stuff off the tinned ones, or when the beans are too soft, and then there's the tin to recycle as well:D

Thoushaltnot · 06-10-2010 8:49am

The Tesco offer seems to have been extended (in my Arklow branch at least) but now it's 2 for €4. Well worth it for the bacon style strips alone
