Aldi specially selected ginger and caramel granola its awful.
Really?Aldi specially selected ginger and caramel granola its awful.
I have a tablespoon or so of this most days as a topping for yoghurt. Delicious!
Bought some muesli with dried raspberries / strawberries though that was rank...
I've been having the pasta salads for my lunch recently, the chicken one is very good for the price. Better than the equivalent Tesco and Sainsbury's offerings which are twice as much.

A few spoonfuls in a bowl at bedtime with some apple juice. Cling film, pop it in the fridge overnight, and then the following morning mix it with Aldi's Fage-rip Greek yoghurt.
Add fruit, berries etc as desired.
Nom!

My local coop have recently started doing very similar pizzas in similar packaging just a slightly different shape for about £2 a pizza more.
is this a the miracle of Aldi doing something first and others taking note rater than LIDL/Aldi letting others develop products, show there is a market then undercut?
Nope, they all copy each other. Aldi seems to copy Waitrose/M&S a lot.is this a the miracle of Aldi doing something first and others taking note rater than LIDL/Aldi letting others develop products, show there is a market then undercut?
Probably because it is all made in the same factories!
It wouldn't be knocking out copies, it would be to a different spec and branding i.e. recipes. In the same way Fox's, Mcvities and so on do biscuits for all the supermarkets on different production lines and Foxconn make both iPhones for Apple and Androids for Nokia and others.
It is not cost effective for supermarkets to do their own item for each of their own brand item, cheaper to outsource to mass production experts in each area- they need a good supplier as much they need them.

Yep. Aldi's posh pizzas are very similar to those in Waitrose, but have a much nicer sourdough base.It is not cost effective for supermarkets to do their own item for each of their own brand item, cheaper to outsource to mass production experts in each area- they need a good supplier as much they need them.

Often own-brand production IS about knocking out copies, just of products other people doIt is not cost effective for supermarkets to do their own item for each of their own brand item, cheaper to outsource to mass production experts in each area- they need a good supplier as much they need them.
tried the american hot pizza from Aldi, was about £1.50. very very nice! much nicer then asda's frozen stonebaked pizzas. still need to try out their larger ones that's £3.
The only thing that puts me off going to Alid-dagenham is the fact that they have no self-service checkouts. the other day i had to play roulette with long queues of people with big shops. thankfully 1 woman was nice enough to notice i only had 1 item and let me go infront of her.

Whisper it, but the frozen Chateaubriand for a tenner is remarkable. And the box instructions are spot on, including resting time.
I saw that, I going through the frozen section each weekend, had the turkey crown with stuffing, really good value for a tenner.21TonyK said:
