Aldi Food Review - Corn Flakes


I must admit that i don't eat cornflakes however my husband really likes these ................. my three year old will only have these for breakfast with sultanas and a bit of honey!!! Hubby is a bit picky and was skeptical at first but says that aren't really that different to kelloggs!!!

Aldi Catalogue Pick of the Week - Crofton Knives


I do love a good knife!!!  My experience of Aldi kitchen products have always been good and most of the other Aldi Mums on our facebook page give them the big thumbs up!!!  The Damast Santoku Knife does appeal to the cook in me!!!

Aldi Food Review - Pumpkin Sourdough Bread


 I just walked into my mum's Aldi and they had this bread ............. I was soooo excited .......... it said "New" and appeared to be a new regular item ............... haven't seen it at my Aldi yet ......... there will be so much joy in my heart if this is a new regular item at my Aldi!! Has anybody else seen this at their Aldi???

Aldi Food Review - Macadamia Nuts


I love the nuts from Aldi ....... I buy them all the time ........ these macadamia nuts cost $8.99 for 500grams .......... bargain i think!!! I also like the almonds, cashews and pistachios ......... I buy them all and mix them together and eat them as snacks ..... it is an initial investment but they last forever and are a great healthy snack ...... you also cannot beat Aldi prices!!!

Aldi Food Review - Whole Corn Kernels


These are a good staple to have in the cupboard ........ we use them in tuna bake!!!! As we are not a huge family there is often too many kernals for one dish for us so we just put half in a snack bag in the freezer and use the rest next time!!! They are sweet and this tin is jammed packed!!! Great Value!!

Aldi Food Review - Organic Mince


 I was very excited when Aldi started selling this!!!! I bought it for the first time a few days ago and we had it last night in some Nachos ............ it was really great ............ there was just about no fat in the fry pan like other mince ............ and it had a great taste ........... from the research i have done this is the cheapest Organic mince on the market only $12\kg!!! Aldi does it once again :)

This pasta costs a grand total of 79cents .......... awesome .......... i love the spiral one because it is easy for my one and three year old to pick up and eat so it isn't too messy .........

Aldi Food Review - Wholegrain Hoops


I have been eating my way through the Aldi cereals (i think i currently have 6 different types in my cupboard) .......... I think this cereal is an awesome idea ............ 4 different types of grains .......... wholegrain ............ and... the sugar content isn't that high only 6% which is much less than other kid cereals (lower than power grain) ........ and it only costs $3.49 a packet .......... my 3 year old doesn't like it my one year old does and so do I :)

Aldi Food Review - Free Range Eggs


We actually have 3 chickens in our backyard that we eat eggs from however in winter they stop laying regularly .......... this means we need to buy eggs :( I always choose to get free range eggs and have found the Aldi ones to be so much cheaper than anywhere else!!! I find all eggs bought from a supermarket seem to be the same (the light colour yoke) compared to my backyard eggs I do wonder why this is??? These eggs cost around $3.69 a dozen!!
