Aldi Food Review - Premium Red Salmon


 I love love love this salmon ............ is costs $3.99 for this 210gram tin which is a lot cheaper than the named brands .......... I actually tried the woolworths select premium red salmon which compared in price to this one just to see if there was a difference ........ it was not very nice and lacked flavour .......... this red salmon is a great price for really high quality!!! One of my Aldi LOVE products!!!

Aldi Product Review - Table Salt


 This salt is a great price at 79 cents for 500grams ............ i know they sell it in table and iodised ............. iodised has some kind of vitamin or somthing in it that we need and can only get through salt ......... it's really important for pregnant ladies .......... this is a great, cheap table salt option!!!

Aldi Food Review - Lolly Party Pack


This party pack costs $3.69 for 425grams ................... it is a variety pack of different kinds of lollies like gummi bears, coke bottles and chewy things ............. they are tasty but it my experience they are more of a harder jelly lolly so may not be great for littlies!!

Aldi Catalogue Review - Toastie Pocket


This caught my attention because i have never seen anything like it before??? It is some kind of reusable pocket you put in the toaster with a toasted sandwich inside and voila it's done ................ how cool is that!!! It is definitley worth the $2.49 investment to see if this gismo works :)

They taste like all of the other brands we have tried for just a fraction of the price!!
