    Aldi does veggie gummies! Yahey! :D

    I've been using Aldis own flax and seed mixes. They come in at under 3euro.
    And I don't find a difference.

    I'm going to try some plankton based dha supplements though, I've found some on www.iherb.com. To compare results with seed based efa supplements.

    Dunnes

    Quorn roast - not advertised as "on special" in my local Dunnes (Rathmines) but scanning at €3...thanks Clare Bear for that tip!
    Indeed, my freezer has a few of those in there but I forgot to share the knowledge.
    The "chicken" soup looks good too. Mock-a-doodle-do. Although I'm not a fan of the Avonmore soups... too gllopy. Scully & Cully or Baxters for me.

    Premade soup is a travesty against humankind.
    Buy a stick blender and never look back!

    If I could thank this multiple times I would.

    I wonder how early is too early to arrive and camp outside Aldi?

    Oh I agree 100% but occasionally the ready-made stuff is handy.

    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
    · Chardonnay
    · Sauvignon Blanc
    · Shiraz
    · Cabernet

    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!)

    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.

    Are those granose pates nice ThouShaltnot?


  • Registered Users Posts: 582 ✭✭✭Thoushaltnot


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 582 ✭✭✭Thoushaltnot


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭ Fernanda Purring Schoolgirl


    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.
