Aldi... what do you recommend?

.red.

The profiterole cakes in the freezer are nice, a little bit sweet but its Christmas!
We got the caramel one last year and went back for more but they never came back in.
They have a strawberries and cream one too.
We stocked up on both this year.

I saw something new in Aldi today.

Beer for dogs. The brand name is Bottom Sniffers.

They have 'pawsecco' as well for cats. Just for Xmas I presume.

Yeah, they're Christmas specials. Was looking at the Pawseco yesterday but it's like elderflower and other such stuff. No way my cat would drink it.

I can't help with that i'm afraid, but you've just reminded me that the whole range of pizzas in the black box - the Etna, Romagna, etc. are gone from my local Aldi, gone for at least two weeks. I'm hoping that it's just to make room for the Christmas stuff and they'll be back in the new year.

Those were great pizzas, the fresh one over in the fridge is just as spicy as the Etna but its twice the price.

Anyone tried the prosecco with the red foil and tag?
Hoping it might be nice Xmas day fizz..

Just bought the karahi chicken pizza, on a recommendation previously in the thread. Will give my verdict when it's in my tummy!

Got a few of the Mcgargles big bangin IPA too. €3 per 500ml bottle, but 7.1 abv. Not too bad at all, quite resinous.

I really liked the Chargrilled vegetable Carlos brand frozen pizza; but I went to get one on my last 2 shopping trips and they haven't been there anybody spotted them in their local? Or have they been removed? I didn't see the label for them so I fear they're gone

I looked out for this one in my local aldi (Bray) yesterday and there was no sign of it - still hoping they'll all be back after christmas though - think of all the freezer space they had to free up to make room for the party food and the turkeys

Thanks for looking for it for me I hope so although the pepperoni version of it is still there so it doesn't give much hope I tried a Margherita version of their pizza instead and didn't really like it

Has anybody used the La Mara cleansing micellar water. Used it for the first time last night. Then with my own image moisturizer. My skin was so dry and tight this morning.

I did last time they had it. Went into the bin after about a week. I developed dry, flakey patches in my face. Not a good look. Took a lot of Weleda Skin Food to reverse.

I use the facial oil as I have sensitive dry skin, I use it occasionally at night, I haven’t had any bad side effects but I’m not sure if it’s made any difference.its really natural and there’s no smell so I don’t think it would irritate most people’s skin, but My skin doesn’t feel much different the next day. Their body butter smells lovely.

Are the 3 liter of pressecco gone? There was none yday when I was there and the biggest bottle of pressecco was a litre in a half.

Gloomtastic!

Yes, and the doggie proscecco! In the standard layout opposite the crisps.

Smelt an amazing French cheese in the Christmas cheese section - rotten socks. I think it was called Epos. Going back tomorrow to buy it but it won’t last till next week!

Thank you! A quick wiki says it should be drunk with Trappist beer. It just gets better!

I quite like it, but I do wash my face with water and a gentle cleanser after using it - I feel it would leave a residue on my skin if I didn't.

I had some Aldi mulled wine tea last night. It was delicious! More smell than flavour but sure that's always the way with herbal and fruit teas.
