Bit of a change of opinion there but that's no harm, I suppose.

Forgive my cynicism, but I imagine that some f****r, who knows who they are, will manage to subvert and ultimately destroy any solution that's found.

It's a shame but the instinct to meddle and undermine systems that work seems to be part of the Irish psyche. In this case it started quite early and was tolerated for too long IMHO.

Well thats because the poster made the suggestion after my initial post and his/her post convinced me- I think having a superthread with all the offers in it with no chat allowed is a good solution to this problem. It certainly beats derailing the Aldi thread for those people who want to come here and only see Aldi offers.

The potential problem with a Superthread for Veg and Meat offers though is someone has to take responsibility for posting them up and if the offers all are announced at different times/dates then that a hassle that the poster will soon get tired of doing and over three or four months it'll all fall apart, like it did last time, when the poster goes on an extended break. At that point everyone will then be left saying sure we'd just be better off having individual threads for each supermarket and then let those who shop there all the time post the offers in each individual thread. So we'd be back to square one all over again.

I couldnt care less which solution people want so long as the current mess stops. Either this thread should be relabelled and a new one started just for Aldi or we go down the Superthread route and if it all does fall apart in a few months time then let that be the end of it and from then on individual supermarket threads only. If the Superthread does work out then great, that'd be a solution for everyone to find the offers they want and without the bickering chat about who sells the best bananas which can often make these BA threads very sore on the eye.

Just the bargains and no chat would certainly make the thread easier to read.

OK Here they are,

Do the Hams look remotely that nice in reality? If they did I'd stick two of them in my freezer for Christmas.

Anyone know if the grapes are seedless? Thanks

nope checked them earlier in aldi beside me, they're seeded

If anyone has cooked with the chicken fillets can you tell me if they are small or large? Need approx 20 for a party and if they are large then 8 for €6 is great value.

At an average of 103 grams each, they're pretty small.

From the weight they're not "large" but are around the size you'll get at 4 for a fiver in a butcher's on offer.

The breaded chicken fillets are nowhere near fresh breast fillets.

Edit: Oops, didn't notice there are 8 fresh fillets for €6, I thought you were referring to the breaded ones.

The 8 chicken fillets are '8 chicken fillet portions'. In reality they are 4 chicken fillets sliced in half.

I love the majority of Aldi stuff, but I have to say-I bought a ham there once for Christmas, and I was really disappointed.
Like a previous poster mentioned, it was gristly and quite bland.

I can recommend their whole chickens though. I was buying one quite regularly for a Sunday roast and the meat was juicy and tasty.

Made the mistake of buying a chicken in Tesco a few weeks back, cooked it the very same way as I always do, and it was quite tough!
Tough chicken-a new one on me; chewy and so bland and boring.

Was hoping for some stew ingredients but nothing there apart from spuds.
