ALDI & LIDL Food and Drink Worth Trying?

[andburg]

Doubt it, I did they didn’t even sell it with a key of something though.

Online only, sold out and was no cheaper than anywhere else

Aldi have the Phillips Perfect Draft on special buy, hopefully it means they will start stocking the kegs.

Quite a few local Premier type shops are starting to stock the kegs now.

Anyone used the Aldi click and collect yet?

"ROB" judging by the numberplate was today.
Car was in click & collect space when I went in, still there when I'd finished shopping.(steering wheel lock in place)

Matlock too, but I am not sure where. Possibly in Cawdor quarry, along to where Permanite's site remained after the Sainsbury's was developed.

The newer Bakewell shop is good.

I've only known the one Aldi in Bakewell The site of the old Cintride factory on Ashford Road next to the river and across from Pinelog?

I have heard that rumour. With a population of 6 thousand I can't see it.
Although it would be great if it did because it would kill off the Co-Op. I fking loathe the Co-Op.

Significantly more than Bakewell though and their shop is busy. As is Ashbourne's. Matlock would be easier though and it would gain Wirksworth's trade too, which I suppose is what they aim for.

Aldi thread has become very local.

Land is also a problem the only place they could put it would be down near Haarlem Mill and that's not really big enough. Who knows though.

It is a local Aldi thread for local people.

We will have no trouble here!

Oh dear, two wine posts one after the other.

Anyhoo, currently enjoying this with home made smoked haddock fishcakes with a tomato and herb sauce. All whilst watching the first episode of series 3 of the Wine Show on Amazon.

My favourite from ALDI, certainly helps fight Lockdown ;-)

Lidl's next seasonal wine range arrives on Thursday (Winter Wine Tour replacing Autumn Wine Tour)

11 of them score 90 or more - clearly competing with Aldi's top end wines in their Christmas selection.

The Baden Spätburgunder, the Riesling Reserve Trocken and the Alsace Pinot Gris will be on my initial buy list.

I'm out of port (bar the 40yr old) and LIDL have a 10 yr old for £12 in from thursday at £11.99, dont know what the scoring lark is but apparently its a 92 score

Nice, I'm not a big drinker at all but I do like some port over Christmas.
