some of the stuff in these places is as good or better than the top branded foods !
lidl digestive biscuits are 30p as compared to mcvities for closer to a £1 but taste miles better !!
can anybody else reccomend their favourite stuff from either supermarket ?
 
Aldi hunter hot dogs 99p and sometimes 1.99 for massive ones if they have them in.

No mechanicaly seperated chicken in them, the only ones I can find in any supermarket that hasnt got any of that gunk in them.

All i buy from them though lol
 
Had an Aldi chicken for Sunday roast today as a trial, normally don't do Asda/Tesco/ Morrissons as they are tasteless (well- it would be, it's chicken). Usually go for Marks & Spencer's and this one was pretty good.

Those digestives, try the chocolate ones- even better and don't fall apart as easy when you dunk them in your brew.

Lidl black pudding, not bad- Irish style with oats in but can't get Clonakilty or Shaws over here. Lidl thick cut bacon, not bad (usually get meat from proper butcher tbh) don't get white shite coming out of it when you grill it (salt/ preservative/ bulking up agent?). Cheapo 47p granary bread, does for me butties.

You pay for what you get meat wise though, lamb and beef are tough.

What is nice is Lidl Ciabatta bread mix, half a packet makes six rolls or 1 loaf- a dozen rolls for under a quid!

Aldi? creamy yoghurts, nice. Both of them do nice raspberry jam.

Avoid Lidl''s best instant coffee- tastes burnt.

Kinnel- you'll be wanting ironing tips next.
 
yes ! forgot to mention the coleslaw good call<br /><br />-- Sun Aug 14, 2011 11:28 pm --<br /><br />if you drink bottled cider , i swear the churchward cider from lidl is easily as good as magners
£1 per bottle
