Anybody want anything from Aldi while I'm down there? Milk, bread, power tool?

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Eggs. Local colesworth was fresh out of them last night. 1 doz of the largest size with the longest useby date please.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oooo. You are pushing your luck there love. How about I pop over to the local IGA and get you a 30 pack of farm fresh eggs. You can share with your neighbours.

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Thank you very kindly. Trade goods rating AAAAA++. Should be able to swap for tomato seedlings at the very least.

Ooh, may I please have some salted pretzel chocolate? Thank you! And if there's something crafty and cheap from the Middle Aisle of Dreams, that would be so fun, thank you!

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Laundrite powder and Logix Platinum dishwasher tablets. And chocolate!

They have proper peanut m&ms there now which is good and bad news.

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Some beef mince, burger buns, cheese, bacon and sauce if you wouldn't mind.

I'm craving burgers!

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I think I am too now.

[โ€“] Cendana@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

2 boxes of spinach and ricotta flavour potato gratin please.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Noted. I'll also grab you a box of their spinach mini quiches to try because they are really good.

Such beautiful manners. Of course anything for you, now clean your room.

Hmmโ€ฆ Iโ€™m a fan of the Trimat sensitive laundry sauce, the dark chocolate, and I used to like the Lacura red tub face cream. (Do they still have it?)

The soy milk and bread are also the same thing as elsewhere, pretty solid

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

They have a lot of alternative long life milks for cheaper.

I think they still have the red Lacura but it's a special buy. I'll see what I can magic up.

[โ€“] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gin! mine is always out of gin!

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Noted. Tonic with that?

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

some lactose free milk please, do they have lactose free condensed milk?

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No. I've never seen condensed milk there but I have seen evaporated milk.

They do have lactose free milk both fresh and long life.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

evaporated is actually what I meant , it's for in coffee

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Oh. I had a look for condensed anyway and they do have it. Wasn't there when I needed it.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Felafel mix please, theirs is quite good

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Question. What's in a falafel mix? I've only ever made them from scratch.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Itโ€™s really just pre-herbed flour. But if you donโ€™t do much else with besan itโ€™s handy rather than having loads of plain in the house for moths to get at.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Interesting because when you make them from scratch you don't put much flour in. Maybe just a small sprinkle if it's too moist for frying.
