I buy the smaller one that serves 1 and I'm pretty sure that's only £1.99.

picked ups some of the fake mars/snickers for trick or treaters and tried them..prefer them to the real thing!

The Christmas port is now in, the 40 year old Maynard is back in a different bottle. This is an absolute bargain at £35 a bottle wine or at least it has been for the last 2 years!

Love Racer bars - One bar is never enough

i find they are harder and have a funny aftertaste. But they cost less.

I'm addicted to the "Chunky" bars.

There is just more. It to racers than snickers and that’s why I prefer

Deluxe smoked salmon half price this weekend in Lidl (£1,49). 2x levels of smokiness, lovely tasting, great value and suitable for freezing.

Pre cooked spicy chips - under a blanket of Jalepenos, bacon, cheddar and mozzerella. OMG!

[andburg]

More port....
The 10 year old Maynard tawny, lovely and woody. Completely different to the 10 year old sandemans that’s I just finished

This took my fancy last night so I bought it. I am not a millionaire. Tune in to the breakfast thread later for results ...

[anonymous-user]

I didn't realise this thread was going but happy to contribute.

I've been testing a few products on quality not price ( wife does that bit ) and found these solid winners:

Norpak butter

Dark mint chocolate ( individual wrapped and thin for after dinner )

Carole premium baked beans

Harvest tinned copped tomatoes

Chicken and beef gravy granules

Every bottle of wine I've tried over £6 has been good quality

The new aged dry hopped beer in the black bottle is rather nice! And it’s not in the seasonal section, winner

Like a leffe blonde with a slight dry hopping

On the Aldi wine front I can recommend the following (in ascending order... )

All are good, but the Pinot Noir and Zinfandel are exceptional for the money.....esp the Zinfandel

That Zinfandel is remarkable for the price

Chocolate lebkuchen are back in....my Christmas equivalent of crack cocaine.

Yes, it was “star wine” at our wine quiz, so much so one of guys bought the last 15 bottles available in our local Aldi!

Used the £10 off £40 spend Lidl voucher from the Metro to stock up the freezer and pick up a couple of treats.

Deluxe gingerbread & butterscotch bombe was excellent. Very nice change from opting for the usual choice of a chocolate warm melty thing.

Seems there is a salted caramel variety too but never saw that one.

Aldi? The little individual "gift" Christmas cake isn't bad.
