Aldi specials

[goatchop41]

Never saw these advertised, but my 2 local Aldis have cans of Balmain pilsner for $15 per 6 pack and $50 per slab.
A bloody nice drop

 

[Danwood]

Ringwood also has/had some.

I'm not mega-keen on Pilsner generally, so I didn't bother.

Aldi have chest freezers and upright (doored) freezers at the moment....

~$250 for the chesty and $199 for the upright.

The Balmain is an ongoing contract with Aldi, saw that it Brewsnews or the Shout or somewhere. I used to enjoy it on tap in Sydney in a pub opposite that "melting building" on Broadway but it got knocked down. The pub that is.

There was a conversation on their merits on the previous page

I converted the aldi chest freezer some weeks ago with the STC1000 and its currently sitting on my deck, it works a treat keeping mega swill, extract and bottled home brew extremely chilly

Not just the variety items in the centre aisles. You are going to save so much money on grocery and cleaning products as well.

WRT grog they would have to go through a licensing application town by town.
Do Foodland IGA sell alcohol in SA?
If so then Aldi should be OK.

the proverbial double edged sword for me. as state manager for a leading branded grocery supplier every sale within the category in aldi impacts our sales negatively. i have no love for coles or woolies either though

 

[Bribie G]

Aldi in NSW at any rate don't sell "in aisle" as such. There's a small liquor enclave that has the statutory Under 18s notice at the entrance, very similar in concept to NSW supermarkets where you often enter the liquor store through an archway. Liquor can only be purchased at the checkout right next to the enclave (not unlike supermarkets who still sell smokes, that can only be purchased from one till. )

So in the case of Coles or Woolies you're standing next to the baked beans aisle and looking across into the liquor "room":




In Queensland they have a similar system which bypasses the State ban on supermarket sales; to get around this the BWS or LL shop, whilst able to be situated right next door to the Woolworths or Coles entrance in a shopping mall, can't be accessed directly out of the supermarket.

Yup I guess for National Brands suppliers the rise of House Brands can be a worry. I guess it cuts both ways if you look at Australian suppliers as a whole. For example I couldn't get to Aldi and had to buy some Duo laundry detergent (that I'd been using for fifteen years until I started shopping at Aldi) and noticed that it's now made in China.

The Aldi equivalent is made here, and like their entire cleaning range would be from Jalco Household and Fabric Care, Sydney. They put up a TV ad recently.

If you look at lots of food from NZ its product of New Zealand so could be from china same with Australian .

Another item from a few weeks ago that might be still available at Aldi is the 'SOS Silicone Tape'. It a 3m roll a self-fusing silicone tape. You stretch it as you wrap it around something and it binds to itself becoming one piece of silicone. Temp range -50C to +260C. Electrical insulation 8,000 volts (unstretched thickness)

Ideal for repairing the plastic coverings on ball valve handles that have been accidentally burnt off. And for wrapping around metal hose connections to provide something cool to grab hold of.

As for quality, this mob has the best product. I buy their bulk vacuum 100 um bags for chamber vacuum Sous vide and have absolutely no complaints.
I go through 1000+ a year.
They also have micro-channel bags but I don't know how the price compares.
