The little jars of chargrilled peppers from their antipasto range are great for throwing into chilli etc.

Can't remember the cost, but they're delicious.

Where are they usually stacked in the store?

In my local they're located on the shelves above the freezer, look out for frozen pizza's, they're above them.

Never liked that diet orange, but their normal fizzy orange is much better than Club or Fanta

A nice spritzer is ALDI's Vuze Orange mixed half and half with sparkling water and a wedge of llemon or lime. You can can only do that with an orange soda that packs a punch

Had the cod fishcakes with cheddar cheese. Was lovely.

HALF COATED CHOC CHUNK COOKIES by Memento.

They are half covered with chocolate/ half made of chocolate chips and they are delicious. At first seen, they look like ordinary biscuits but since I tasted them, they are part of my tea time routine.

And I can even pretend that they are healthier than they seem because they are made of whole grains

I now dare not go near the biscuit counter in ALDI! Had some choc biscuits a while ago and could not stop, and that is not like me

Or was that LIDL! I think I put them on here somewhere?

Quick question - I've to up my protein intake and have a tesco online shop ready to go full of seeds, nuts etc. I've never noticed are these available in Aldi. Anybody buy them regularly? Are they cheaper than tesco?

My Aldi has a huge range of nuts and seeds, far cheaper than Tesco.

For the record, nuts and seeds are a great source primarily of healthy fats. For protein you might want to try eggs, cottage cheese, tofu, quorn, lentils, pulses, meat and fish.

Great thanks.

Yep I've had a chat with a nutritional therapist and doc. Just to go stocking my presses with snacks now

You could also try Lidl, if there's one near you. They have nice, resealable bags of nuts - brazils, walnuts etc.

my tesco can have nuts in 5 or 6 different places, with wildly different prices.

Salted and/or roast nuts get 23% vat slapped on, nearly all roasted nuts are salted, the ones in the baking section are zero vat, other various "health" sections can have unsalted ones too, but they can slap on a high margin as its in the overpriced "healthy" section.

The best value cashews I get are salted ones in lidl in ring pull tins, the bigger bags of the same brand/quality level of nut costs more per kilo. I think the loose nuts are dearer, and have heard stories of kids "playing sand" with them, running their grubby & likely freshly licked fingers through them.

Some Asian shops can be cheap, the ones I go to are not cheap anymore for nuts.

€4. The egg looked like some kind of fuzzy giant mushroom.

Urgh, no thanks.
I am trying the American Hot pizza tonight so will let ye know. I looked for the wine fussy mentioned but they didn't have it. They seem well stocked up on Azarra though so no complaints. No sign of the scented candles either

Cheshire Cat

That looks gross :eek:

@Surreptious: In both my local Aldis the scented candles are with the cleaning stuff, dishwasher tablets and Co. They are not in the aisles with the special offers.

Are you me??? I did exactly the same thing yesterday

(Couldn't decide if the dry little beans or the expanded polyurethane omelette were the worst bit.)

There's always one component that doesn't suit in these "meals". Guess it's the egg this time. It looks like there's not a lot of food either. Otherwise, and at half price, I'd be there

Probably mentioned before but I do like Aldi shower gels especially the tingling mint and tea tree oil...great for the morning shower.

I used get that before and found it similar to Original Source brand!

The scented candles are now going to be a regular item in all stores and will be in the laundry item aisle - still sold out in my local one though :rolleyes:

What happened to the ice creams with the white chocolate and biscuit coating -I discovered them thanks to this thread before Christmas but haven't seen them since - mind you my waistline probably thanks Aldi for not re-stocking

Is it as good as Original Source?

I use that in a soap dispenser in the kitchen, it's brilliant for removing foody (like onion) smells from hands.

A cheaper version would be even better!

Very similar...a word of caution for lads using it don't leave it on your lower regions to long it can get a tad tingly 😮

Not just lads. Us ladies felt the impact too!

I actually prefer the lime version to be honest, but it's very hard to get in my local Aldi. It rarely seems to be in stock.

Nowt wrong with a bit of tingling down there

The oranges on the supersix special are really great,

3 large oranges for 39 cents. Big and juicy. All the way from Morocco for a bit of the exotic

I finally got hold of the scented candles, they only had the pomegranate one available. I also, after listening to the recommendations got the shower gel

I got the pomegranate also yesterday..I had it lighting for about 6 hours and there was absolutely no smell of anything from it.I was out for 2 hours last night and hoped I would smell it as soon as I walked in but there was absolutely nothing.Very disappointed and hope it's just that particular one as I bought another one as well.
