Aldi Bargains on Thursday & Sunday

[Sproket]

How about a steady winder .... light enough for the OH to use

How about a socket tester .... for use in the van or home

Might even look at one of these.. if there are any left

Sprocket the best buy for use on a camp site is the Teppanyaki Grill, does a great job of cooking and takes 20 seconds to clean, using 3 pieces of kitchen roll. I have used one for two years and it beats me why anyone would ever use a barbecue, with all the cleaning needed after use. It also takes up very little space and with minimum weight, it wins in all departments.

Hi George

Had one of the early ones that was half flat / half raised & the non stick coating was not non stick, that's why my favourite bit of kit is one of these :woohoo: :lol:

Admitted you can do the eggs & bacon on it but i think i would struggle with a tin of tomatoes as well ...

I would like to thank the people of South Devon for SAVING me a fortune today.
Passed the Aldi store at 6.40am this morning (Opening day) and they were queuing up already at this time.
Passed it a few times during the day and the car park was full and they were stacking up on the main road waiting to get in, if I cant drive in and park straight away they wont be getting my money, oh well suppose the novelty may wear off sometime!

It's warm and sunny here now and we had a lovely day yesterday. We're going home in the morning
Speaking of Aldi, there's a store here in Porthmadoc so we had a look round earlier this week while it was raining, after reading Sprockets posts.
We both noticed that food items were cheaper than Tesco's, although there wasn't as much choice in brands.
I bought a set of interlocking awning flooring mats for £12.99

 

[Sproket]

The problem is we are all used to buying brand named food as well as other things, what we do is we buy it and try it, if it's ok it get's bought again, then the bit's we can't get we get from Asda

I like to see all of the big car's in the car park with people putting there shopping into other supermarket carrier bags whilst still in the car boot :lol: :lol: I bet they even take the labels off the tins before they go in the bin just in case some one spot's them :silly: :silly:

There was an advert in Wednesday's paper comparing twenty identical items from Aldi and the big five..Aldi were £20 cheaper.
Aldi brands come from Europe mostly Germany. A lot of meat is British.
The fruit and veg are very cheap.
Aldi Cirencester opened earlier this year.For a few weeks the car park was chocker.
Now whilst fairly full never queued.
So Kevin in a few weeks time you can take Mags for a spending spree at your new Aldi .

The Teppenyaki is 1800watts, but it has 5 settings to reduce the heat, and we have never had a problem using it in France. I also have never had a problem with the Teflon coating and sticking as Sprocket has, possibly he bought a very early one, and they have improved the finish.

However ALDI also now offer a Teppenyaki Tray, with no power connection, but with a pan like circular section on the bottom, price about £10-00. I now use this in conjunction with an Electric Induction hob from LIDL, also offered by ALDI, price about £30-00. This has a 2000watt element but with a control that can take it down in 200watt movements and I find that 1200watt is good to start the cooking , but drop it to 800watt when I need to slow the cooking down. I find this gives far better control of the heat than the electric teppenyaki grill. It also means the heat is more central, allowing the outside edges to have sufficient heat to keep food warm. whilst cooking other items.
I should add that you need cooking pans that are magnetic when using an Induction Hob, so aluminium pots and pans will not work on it.
As with all items in ALDI & LIDL they are not always available and it can be many months before an item is offered again, so patience is needed.
