a quick trip to Aldi
May 14th, 2010 Posted in general
I used to turn my nose up at Aldi and Lidl, but now we are poor people :), I’m a huge fan. There’s an Aldi about 10 minutes walk from home, and after a stroll round the park to see the new ducklings, we popped in for a couple of bits.
£17.38 bought:
- 1 pack of green beans
- 1 cauliflower
- 1 big pack of mushrooms
- 1 block of pate
- 2 packs of smoked mackerel
- 2 packs of oatcakes
- 1 pack of pastrami
- 1 pack of kabanos sausages
- 1 pack of another cold meat that I can’t quite remember
- 2 mozzarella
- 1 pack of Danish Blue cheese
- 1 litre of semi skimmed milk
- 2 tubs hummous
- 2 tins of pilchards (inexplicably, Pete likes these for lunch)
There might even have been more, but I don’t have the energy to go down and check; Aldi do a cracking range of continental meats and other deli type stuff – go take a look!

I my opinion you just can’t beat Aldi for good cheap food. Our nearest Aldi is practically our corner shop so pretty much everything comes from there (although as their range is a tad limited I do have to do some top-up shopping elsewhere.) All their fresh produce is wonderful quality, although I would reserve judgement on some of their frozen foods – as we don’t have a freezer at the moment that doesn’t really bother me.
