Aldi - Whats good?

I get 24 multipack of crisps for £1.99. My 2 plus dh prefer them to Walkers.

Aldi pizza for dinner -

It's really nice. I've added a little more cheese but otherwise it's great.

Green pesto -

Redcurrant puff biscuit things -

totally undistinguishable from M&S ones

Choceur chocolate with whole hazelnuts - nice but I prefer Sainsburys as the chocolate is a tiny bit darker.

Topstar, I definitely saw fish fillets in the freezer section. They had the usual battered fish, fish cakes etc but also frozen fish fillets. Salmon and white fish too I think.

We have had their pasta bake sauce tonight and it is lovely, even DS1 the fussiest child in the world loves it.
edam and smoked cheese slices
I have the washing gel to try today
the crisps

3 bird roast is nice

Their dishwasher tablets are really good too - much better at getting food off than Finish and far cheaper

The chocolate mice! Milk mouse I think they're called.

Also Austins, their own version of Pimms, it's nearly indistinguishable and £5.99 a bottle!

Oooh!! I need this! Wish Aldi would come to Australia. Some states have Lidl, but we don't even have them.

ooh thanks for the Pimms tip, I might have to do some punch for our street party

We have been shopping mainly in Aldi since posting this thread, really enjoy their food. Avacados are just fab.
I like the shopping experience too, less choice, no complicated 'offers' & introduction some surprise extra items weekly.
DS love their nuts. Nappies are great.

I think that tommorrow before Sainsburys I will head to Aldi and check out what is there, I don't think I've been there before....if it saves some money, it must be good!

VC I used to go to asda first then Aldi for the offers then spend the whole time walking round complaining that I had just bought xyz for more than it was in aldi.
Now I go to aldi first and can easily save £40 just by doing that. Still have to go to asda for certain bits
