superbigal Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) 2 substitutes for all Bells products. Dogshit which is free likely tastes better Lawn Cuttings also free with remnants of worms and snails cos it has a higher meat content.

I thought you meant the whisky and was in full agreement until 'meat content' confused me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close to pringles. Lay’s STAX are miles better than Pringles…but also just another expensive brand name. 8 hours ago, mathematics said: Mr Kipling’s anything can be replaced with a boot in the balls and the latter would still be a better deal. True, but it’s an old familiar kick in the baws. Gotta take what you can get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the lads at work is a bit of a whisky buff, and he was telling me the stuff that lidl stock as their "own brand" like ben bracken for instance, is one of the basic jura malts, but renamed and repackaged for lidl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never not a reason not to go down to wee Matty's though. A treasure trove. This is the gear you need from Matthew's - absolutely sensational on/with almost all food. Pretty much anything with the wee wifie on the front is dynamite including the black bean in chilli oil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I love the audacity of the Aldi own brands. The names and packaging almost exactly the same as the real thing, no attempt to hide it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI HAT Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Aldis own brand yoghurts are made by Muller and nearly half the price. The salted caramel Greek ones are superb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 The Nordpak butter at Aldi is a near direct rip-off of Lurpak. Their tinned soups also taste very similar to Heinz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Lovehoney own brand one is much better than the expensive market leader Doxy. I'd recommend buying either for your Mrs Christmas.
