Hot x are a permanent feature of our local Aldi, and very good they are, too.

Aldi Mince Pies usually start with a "Use By" date of 30th November, for early Xmas celebrations, I suppose. I hold off buying mince pies until the "Use By" is comfortably into the New Year. They are currently running at 27th December or so. I'll probably buy a few boxes towards the end of next week... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would mince pies need a "Use By"? There's nothing in them that would go bad, surely? - they'd just go stale if left too long I'd have thought... The jar of mincemeat I've got in the cupboard just has a "Best Before"... (It might seem a bit pedantic, but it can make a huge difference to reducing food waste, when sell by/best before/use by are applied and used properly...) 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 6, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 6, 2022 There were some right howlers on BBC red button text this morning: Due to the fire in Wolverhampton: "Trains are not stopping at intermittent stations" You mean the stations are not always there? Harry and Megan: "There has been a furious flashback over their Netfix series" Everybody keeps hoping for them to go back to how they were, before they wanted 'privacy' and are all over the telly Government's Housing Bill " They will not meet their housing gaols"! Houses so bad they seem like prisons? Those are just the most obvious. They must employ people who missed their English lessons at school. 5 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the whold point of mince pies was that they last a long time, which is why you can make them 6 months before xmas and bring them out during the festivities, like xmas cake, which my mum used to make in August or September with fresh frui and put away in the pantry with a cloth over it. The amount of alcohol no doubt assisted with it's preservation, and it was a definite fire hazard... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Sprouts need a frost to get the best of them. We Fen Tigers appreciate that. And you wouldn't get met in Aldi (or Lidl) even if you paid me. I prefer quality. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do sell cheap tat as well. but that's not all they sell. 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
