    They're cheaper and they burn. What more do you want?

    it's funny you should say this.

    I bought some Aldi Cola today and it doesn't say "Coca Cola" on it! There's something going on!

    We probably didn't have to deal with loss of dividends due to them writing off 20 million too unlike Bord na Mona

    To be fair though, the briquettes are made of chicken and fish and the vegetables are made of peat. So the discerning consumer knows to throw the broccoli on the fire and the briquettes on the grill.

    Seriously though....are they any good?

    I (stupidly) stocked up on cheap firewood at Aldi a few weeks ago, coz I was sick of paying 8 quid a bag at Woodys. It is absolute crap & takes forever to get going. I wouldn't buy any of their stuff again unless I knew it was half ways decent.

    Wouldn't be surprised if the food was made with peat, that Aldi and Lidl food is ****ing manky stuff. Almost everything tastes like its still in the ground.

    Its cheap for a reason, cause its ****e

    I asked a friend who has bought them and he says NO, they're not very good at all. Pity! I was hoping to get some and save some money. These days we all need to find cheaper sources of fuel to heat our homes.

    every time you are in town/shopping centre pick up an argos catalogue. bring home and soak in the bath overnight. allow a day to dry out.

    voila, your own briquettes

    I used Luas and GoBus because they don't say CIE.

    Because I need public transport, not Liberty Hall dogma.
