Thumbs up My ALDi SOUP SCAM!!!!



SO this is a great soup. I add some west indian hot sauce and pepper and have it with toast and mackerel

Anyroad in Tesco its like £1.15

But

I have noticed that in Aldi in their wee trays of their own Brand DUncan soup (ALdi dont stock Baxters by the way) if you root aroundf at the back of the shelf you can find the odd randon tin of Baxters MInestrone

and it gets rung through at 65p

On sunday i found 3!


I found this out as i like the Duncan's chicken broth but its hard to find so you have to search



Literally sticking it to the man

But if you make your own LT you know exactly what is in it plus you can make loads and freeze it.

How is it a scam? If they didn't stock it then it wouldn't scan through their tills.

Make your own soup, pretty much anything pre-made is disgusting.

I think soup appreciation is a Scottish thing, there's a guy at work and he is very passionate about lentil soup and think the tinned stuff I bring is an abomination :/

A good lentil soup (made with proper ham stock) is amazing and yes tinned lentil soup is foul.

My gran (who died when I was 8) made what I *thought* was the best ever lentil soup and then I later found out it was actually split pea soup and I've never quite gotten over it. Lied to all through my childhood.
