Things you'd buy again

KKkitty

My partner was in Aldi and bought this cleaning paste called astonish a while ago. I was sceptical about it because of where it came from. Most Aldi cleaning stuff I've bought I either didn't like the smell of or didn't think they were great but I'm pleasantly surprised by this stuff. I had never heard of it before too. It's almost like a thicker version of Cif or Jif. What stuff have you bought that you've bought time and time again?

Toilet paper, toothpaste and Toffee Pops. Three essentials right there.

Hasn't Astonish been around for decades, long before Aldi came here anyway.

Yeah, I don't think it's an Aldi brand. I think I've seen it in Tesco too.

Are you thinking of Vanish maybe?

ETA: No, I googled and you're right - Astonished, so I am.

And no it's not a euphemism.

Can be found in all good Supermarkets nationwide that are called Aldi

Marks and Spencers' boxes of chocolate biscuits - the Extremely Chocolatey selection. They're great at Christmas, much nicer than Afternoon Tea/USA.

I had honestly never heard of this product before. Was it even advertised?

The king size duck-feathered duvet I bought in Arnotts back in 2006. It turns me into a little baby cuddling up in it. The softest, bounciest, cuddliest duvet ever. I could never return to the penury of cheap duvets and itchy blankets.

A thank you card!

Lidl Irish Cream Truffles that come in a deceptively humble little box. I got them at Christmas expecting them to taste all of the 2.50 I'd paid for them , but no, they were DELICIOUS!! The were round little chocolate balls filled with moulten truffley Bailey's tasting goodness, they even packed a warm alcohol-y punch. Much better than the 16.99 euro punch in the budget packed by the Bailey's branded equivalent truffles which are nicer shapes, have thicker chocolate but are very light on the Baileys yum taste.
Ah memories...
Lidl definitely wins that round.

Did it cost much back then?

I think I got to being a bit of a brand snob with cleaning products so wouldn't buy anything that had an own name brand on it. I won't be so snobby in future.
