Has The recipe of your supermarket staple buy been changed? Are you mildly disappointed? Momentarily, slightly annoyed? Report it here. Aldi - Breakfast Cereals Recently I decided to engage with Aldi over the atrocity that is their bran flakes. According to my wife, Aldi’s supplier must have changed the quality and it was now like eating cardboard. Tasteless and inedible. Most would say, “that’s just bran flakes”. Most would say, “just chuck them in the bin and put it down to experience”, but this was the second box in the bin so I decided to engage with Aldi and complain. I hunted out the box from the recycling bin and photographed the batch code. I hunted the receipt out a shopping bag. I told them they had declined in quality and were inedible. They offered me the 89p back (yes, I know, this could be a clue) if I took the box and receipt back. I told them they seemed to be missing the point and could they pass this feedback onto their buyers. Today, it’s the muesli. It started off like Alpen and has now turned into something that looks and tastes like rice crispies and coco pops that have been left to rot outside for a few months, then mixed with some of those broken up shitty bran flakes. I may have to return to Sainsbury’s for breakfast cereals at this rate. Let people know which of your regular food shop items have been ruined in the name of capitalism.
