    Great news, Aldi Brioche Burger Buns now come in a sesame seed variety and they are spectacular, the specially selected ones in the black bag, the original unseeded ones were nice but very egg-y and I always feel a burger is missing something without sesame seeds, these are absolute perfection and let you make absolutely perfect burgers...

    Saw them last week but had enough of the basic. Was going to get some today but there wasn't any. I noticed they are 10c cheaper..unusual! Look forward to tasting them..Like a sesame bun meself!

    Do these freeze ok? Sounds like something I'd like to have stashed away....

    I actually don't like sweet burger buns so those brioche buns do nothing for me.

    Anyway I got very cute piggy measuring cups a spoons today because mine are on their last legs. They were confiscated by kids so I probably just wasted 10 euros. Anyway I like to buy their light mozzarella balls. They are less watery and great for domestic oven pizzas. I can't stand the pregrated stuff.

    Same here, but funnily enough I really like the Hotdog Brioche Rolls. I normally put two frankfurters in a hotdog roll but find one is plenty in the brioche ones.

    Yumm, must give these a try if we ever get BBQ weather again! I tried the Tesco ones recently and they were very nice, but the addition of sesame seeds would be a winner!

    Has anybody tried Aldi's moisturiser and serem. The seaweed one, cant think of the name. I have dry and sensitive skin. Wondering would I be asking for trouble trying it out.

    I haven't tried that one but their H20 serum is amazing.

    It is impossible to find. I've not seen it for months.

    The Xpert Range is fantastic, could not recommend highly enough (I am 57)

    Aldi's version of Special K with red berries.

    Delicious and a fraction of the price, the brand is such a rip off.

    And the Aldi Fruit and Fibre takes better than Kelloggs.

    I get them all the time and think they are lovely. I get the Corale ones in the Blue/Red can with the ring pull.

    I love bachelor's but these are absolutely fine as a substitute

    For a handy quick tasty snack the frozen baked potatoes are great. Just add your toppings of choice. I get my recipes off the spudulike menu.😀

    Their Irish steaks are unbelievable. I didn't think they would be great when I got them because they were so much cheaper than my local butcher. Turns out they outclass my local butcher and they cost way less. Win-win situation for me :)

    Agreed. Slow cooking works best for tougher cuts of meat. Any decent steak shouldn't be slow cooked.
