I always buy a turkey crown from Aldi for Christmas. It's a bit hit and miss sometimes as they sell out very quickly and I have missed out once or twice. Anyway on Saturday I was very chuffed with myself as I saw them in the freezer cabinet and swooped like an eagle and smugly put it in the trolley.
As we were unloading the bags into the car, I said to OH that wasn't it great that we got it as Aldi turkey crowns go like hot cakes. "Turn around you silly woman" he said. I did and looked at the sign - we had just done our shopping in Lidl!
Oh well, I am going to keep it and hope it is as nice as the Aldi one. We did actually call into Aldi later in the day and they did not have any anyway.
We'll I'm absolutely chuffed to bits. I've got quite a few LeCreuset pans, casseroles and frying pans, but I've been after one of these ages, but didn't want to pay that much for it.
I'd bought quite a few of my pans in France where they were considerably cheaper, so when I spotted it it Aldi today, I grabbed it. They had grey, orange or green, so I went for green, for the princely sum of £24.99! Mega bargain.
Instead of Baileys, I bought a bottle of Aldi 'lookalike' Baileys this Christmas. It was lovely and I will get another one soon. I love a drop in a cup of coffee. It only cost €6.99.
They had some little pods, cream with brandy and amaretto to put in your coffee. . We bought a bottle of their Kir Royale before Christmas and had it the other day, it was lovely.

Yes, I have a bottle of that too. Got my sparkling water there this morning and some postal bags like the plastic ones most of the Internet shopping arrives in as well.
We were in Aldi 2 weeks and OH took off at lightening speed as usual to the 'mens bits and bobs section'. He came back with a small hand held steam cleaner which was on sale for €15.00. We had a 'discussion' (I use the term loosely) that for the price it would be useless, but he insisted we buy it.
Anyway it was put in the cupboard and I forgot about it but 25 found it earlier and set it up and has been cleaning the bathroom with it. It is small but seems to be very good. It has not flooded the place and is making short work of cleaning the white tiles in our large bathroom.
