Aldi/Lidl specials - recommendations

[Busybee]

I’ll second the Aldi scented candles, my fave being the grapefruit lime and mandarin. As we have an open plan kitchen/dining room and also dry my washing over the Rayburn I find it’s very good if you have been cooking anything a bit pungent.

Agree with the baking supplies and my cousin really rates the dishwasher tablets.

Thanks everyone. I will have a good snoop around next time I go that way.

I bought some pine nuts from lidl, then discovered I already had a pack from Aldi in the freezer (this is the best place to keep them)

Recommended sources, good value and pine nuts can be quite dodgy, theirs have always been sweet

Thanks for that tip, Sue, I must remember it.

I wasn't going to bother with French (er Emily in Paris) week but I ended up walking past Lidl to get to the pharmacy and well... I was restrained. I bought a 'brioche chinoise', which I have never had in France. I thought T might like it for breakfast. Some fresh stuffed pasta (!) and also some more ready grated parmesan and some dried pasta that I like which they didn't have last week - leftovers from Italian week. They also had (IW) pickled garlic cloves but I couldn't carry them (6kg of cat biscuits and other things to pick up).
There were other things which I might have bought did I not go to France quite often and were I not hoping to go again before the year is out, but not much that one can't normally get here anyway.
I am sure I bought something else... can't remember. Maybe not.

When are you off, Herbi? And how long are you away? This is your Spanish trip, isn't it?
