Romeo Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 They are too sweet. 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. Picnic = drinking beer under a bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundeefc1783 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 This Aldi white chocolate is superb and only about 50p for a decent sized bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 My mate used to swear by Lidls own version of Jack Daniels, he went as far as to try and convince us it was called Helen Daniels. It still probably tasted as shite as the original. Anyway, Lidls version of Pringles are superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Far better than Shreddies & half the price. My absolute favourite cereal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbykdy Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Lidl Newgate Tomato soup is identical to Heinz in taste but about 1/3 of the price. I have my suspicions they have been made in the same factory and simply have two different labels put on them and as a result prices. Meat paste is another one, peel the label off a Shipphams jar and do the same with an Aldi version and they are identical, again most likely made in the same place.

Let's not get carried away. Cardboard cereal is about degrees of shiteness. The fact that you can choke this asbestos substitute over, doesn't make it good.

Kennboy1978 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The Aldi equivalent of chocolate Mini Rolls are amazing. I find that there is very little that Aldi and Lidl sell that doesn't match or exceed the big brands. One off the top of my head that doesn't is their Iron Brew, it comes no where near Irn Bru.As said before, I find it hard to believe that there are different factories that make and process baked beans or soup for every brand.Used to love these too, pity they changed it to Groovy Biscuits.

I have a free coffee + pay for a cake ('My Waitrose card'). Then buy a few things that I particularly like.... , Nairns oat biscuits, French butter. I shop at Morrisons ( anyone noticed that rather a lot of their prices seem to have sneaked up ?), and also Lidl. I'm fine with the Lidl own brands. The quality is good. I go for the cereals, muesli mostly, and the frozen foods. 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 The majority of them used to be made by Invergordon Distillers, who are owned by Whyte & Mackay.
