philpy Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Sitting here having just eaten a packet of prawn cocktail crisps bought from Aldi, which i would say are better than the likes of walkers and golden wonder, and are a lot cheaper as well, and it's got me thinking, do any other posters prefer Aldi or Lidl own brands to more renown products, and If so what are your favourite versions of said products??

Gaz FFC Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The twix rip off from Aldi is superb. They call it Jive bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskychimp Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I fucking hate the fact Aldi and Lidl compare their prices to premium brands rather than supermarket own brands. You're selling own brand shit, not premium. Most own brand stuff is nice. Asda Smart Price cornflakes are worse than Isis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 When I was up at my maws on Tuessay she was watching 1 of those programmes where people test 3 versions of the same product by various retailers without knowing which 1 is which and i seen Tesco value cornflakes scored best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lidl ones are good too (but not as good), with the added advantage of having no sugar added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In not missing the point. Just making an observation. So what are value products, if not own brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mars bar ones are good though. The catch is they are all a bit smaller than the big brands. I just got a few very high quality beers for £5.40 for tomorrow's picnic.

I think supermarket own brand whisky is better than Grouse and Bells, and usually considerably cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logistics of a supermarket producing and storing in casks won't work for them. Its a no brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
