ALDI & LIDL Food and Drink Worth Trying?

Is it me or do Aldi seem worse and worse value for money on specials and some foods? The Big Stack for instance would be perfect at £1 but is what, £1.50+? I used to be excited by the MAOD but not I fond myself passing it ignored since its full of same old things every week!
They’ll have limited ability to offer deals on food that isn’t their own brand - that Big Stack thing is £1.50 in Iceland too. RammyMP said:

Bought an Islay single malt in Aldi. Superb value at £18. It must be laphroaig rebranded
There’s always much debate on where these actually come from - well worth £18 though!We've just had a lidl open round the corner which at the moment is a novelty.
It's nice to have it, the meat this place has on offer rivals a nearby other supermarket that's twice as big. Im also noticing they have a lot on reduction all the time, maybe due to stock levels not being analysed yet locally.
Overall we are finding it quite cheap in areas, the Xmas confectionary will be used this year rather than others.

picked up a big speically selected ultimate grazing platter and threw it in the bin.
data 10/jan but the ungherese salami was off, inside the folds it had gone grey and the whole pack smelled rancid becasue of it
You can take them back and they happily refund it. Sometimes the vacuum seal breaks on things or they never got that gas stuff in it. Happens to bacon alot in my store. A good 5 weeks or more date and it looks pure grey... nippy but these things happen. data 10/jan but the ungherese salami was off, inside the folds it had gone grey and the whole pack smelled rancid becasue of it
I got a packet of carrots for 19p yesterday. I won't eat them but at 19p her horse will love me more than her for a few days.

i sent details to customer services, just in case it wasn't just mine.I got a packet of carrots for 19p yesterday. I won't eat them but at 19p her horse will love me more than her for a few days.
not worth the grief of storing rancid meat to take back or the effort of taking it back
Has anyone seen any of the 1kg Serrano Ham's in Lidl over the past few days. Bought one last year as my contribution to the family Xmas meal and it was absolutely fantastic (perfect beer snack).
Bought another a few weeks ago but found it went mouldy in the cupboard last week. Took it back, they were happy to refund it but did not have any in stock.
Been to the local store (Hove) Thurs and Sat with no luck and checked Horsham on the way into work earlier today but they also have none.
I know it's an exceedingly middle class first world problem but it'll be a shame if I can't find another :/

Did seem tempting but not for me in this quantity
Last year ALDI did an absolute banger of a mulled wine. So far this year not in stock.
I'd go as far to say it is the best mulled wine I have ever had.

11% ABV. Lovely.

We couldn’t find any in Lidl so had to buy the non alcoholic mulled punch and stick a shed load of amaretto in it. The end result was lovely. I'd go as far to say it is the best mulled wine I have ever had.
