Aldi own v branded products

[Old Prestonian]

Good shout...I've had these and couldn't tell any difference between theirs and Tunnocks.

Tunnocks are vastly superior for me as they have a much greater caramel content. I do prefer Aldi's ginger nuts to those of McVities etc.

They do some canny wines- there’s a few decent Sauvignon blancs- Makaraka and freeman’s bay for around a fiver on a par with £8-£10 bottles

Starting a post with "so"

Nearly as bad as not using full stops.

Sainte Ettienne is a fine lager anarl

As is Rheinbacher pils.

Class Aldi grub generally, however their Weetabix used to be rank a few years back, was like eating cardboard ffs.

Oh and I drink their Oliver Cromwell Dry Gin with their tonic, which are spot on for an everyday gin.

I always use that as an example of good Aldi own brand stuff. Pretty much indistinguishable from Gordons when I tasted them side by side. The white rum however was rank. The bourbon was decent mind, though I’m not a regular drinker of it.

Their Weetabix was revolting.

f***ing love Aldi me like.

Cant remember which one it was but they brought out a range of single malt whiskeys for £18 that were reviewed by experts and they were as good as any bottle under £50. We've been through 2 bottles , its class stuff for your every day run of the mill dram

I got myself some Aldi Kit Kats at the weekend...and must say I actually preferred them to the real thing. Have many others found Aldi products they prefer to the branded equivalents?

Not sure if they are better but they are certainly as good as the real thing. I once got one which was all chocolate so that was a bonus.
I use their own brand Bran Flakes and muesli and their Head and Shoulders rip off shampoo.

I like the way they blatantly rip off the branding from the big brands.

Amazed they get away with it

Beans and pop are shite

Nowt wrong with the beans; only 24p a tin too!

I'll add that the dog food is decent (not that i've tasted it).

Spot on this. Although a bit different Jives are a good Twix rip off.
