soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
I dropped in on my daughter and granddaughter this afternoon( lovely baby cuddles!). On the way home, I stopped off at Aldi. I bought boring stuff like brussels, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms and steak, and Christmas cards. but on the way round, I noticed Instant hot chocolate in sachets (4.1 carbs) Energy drinks, for Hypostopping and Macadamia nuts with dried cranberries. With the incredible selection of "specials" it's a fascinating place and loads of potential for diabetic shopping
 
i dont have an aldi near me,although we have a lidl just opened so shall look in there :D
 
Lidl is my usual supermarket. good for Macanuts and other nuts, profiteroles,smoked salmon, pork loin, fresh meat and fresh fruit and veggies. Brilliant for delicatessen, laundry products, microfibre cleaning cloths and loo paper. Aldi is on the other side of the hill for me, but convenient after baby cuddle fix. their specials are great value. I got my combi microwave for £65 and a pair of superbe fine leather gloves for £5.99. then of course there are the award winning skin creams at £1.85 a pot, which beat the £100+ ones in a test. They feel nice and since I have few wrinkles at 61, they probably work, unless it's just the fat under my skin :?
 
They also have whole frozen duck on offer for £6. Lobster and hare are available too. Their marscapone, mozzerella and parmesan are really cheap and really good. Try the bratwurst, almost zero carbs too.

ooohh thankyou for the advice ,i will definately go look except 4 the nuts as im allergic :D
 
How awful for you Totsy! :(
I love nuts.

Coincidentally I went to Aldi at the weekend and saw just those items you mentioned. I didn't get the cranberries because it said they were sweetened. I suppose I could have kept the macadamia nuts that were in the bag and thrown the cranberries away! :lol:

They also do something called Bresaola which I had never had before but it is very thin cured beef and it is wonderful! :D
 
Poor you totsy...not being able to eat nuts. Methinks a visit to Aldi is coming up. :wink:
