Shopping at Aldi , I dont buy brands most of the time
But there are a few that i have have never found an Alternative for until now and one of them is Fairy Liquid.
I have always thought it to be more superior than all the other Brands.
plus anything from Lidl or Aldi did not match the quality especially for soaking burnt on stuff.
Do you remember the advert about soaking cooking pots in Fairy.
Well it was really good for that, but now they have changed it, i am sure they have because it doesn't soak of the burnt on stuff so well.
I thought it was me until my sister in law was talking about being converted to Aldi and she said even fairy liquid has changed.
so this confirmed my thinking.

Haven't bought Fairy liquid for years now and the mind boggles at all the different " flavours " it comes in : )
ReplyDeleteHello Debs , I dont know what happened to your last comment , when i tried to publish it , it disappeared, Flavours, lol xxx
DeleteI love my big cookbook collection especially Delia, 2 fat ladies, nigella, mary berry,rick stein .They are all presents, charity shop and second hand bookshops . Occasionally I buy an Australian new book..I have an app that searches the world for the cheapest one!
ReplyDeleteDelia is my favourite , I use her All in none sponge mix for almost everything its so moist , And as i use my mixer its effortless , It never fails xxx
DeleteSo if you aren't using Fairy Liquid anymore, will hands that do dishes still feel as soft as your face?
ReplyDeleteLol , Gary , Thanks for the flash back , I really feel old now xxx
DeleteI love cookery books and rarely use the internet. I too use Fairy but am willing to give the brand you suggest a try, thank you for the tip. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI will review it when i have finished the bottle xxx
DeleteI'm with you on the Aldi washing up liquid, best I've used.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that , Hopeing i like it as much as you xxx
DeleteThe only branded goods I buy are Barry M! Lidl's and Wilko all the way.
ReplyDeleteI quite like the odd vintage recipe book for the hideous photos but the internet wins when it comes to recipes. xxx
Lol , I know what you mean about the photos.xxx
DeleteI use cook books, magazines and the net but lately all my "new" recipes come from blogland. Nothing like a tried and trusted recipe to guarantee success. I do make most of my meals up as I go though.
ReplyDeleteMeals i can make up as i go along but baking i always use recipe unless i am trying to adapt my pastry xxx
DeleteI have lots of cookery books but all the recipes I use are in a folder in plastic pockets!
ReplyDeleteFairy and other brands similar are too strong and contain chemicals that do not break down so I use Ecover it's very good for hands and good for the water table too and good for washing up of course!
I would look up Ecover but have a feeling its expensive , I could do with something that is good for my hands xxx
ReplyDeleteI love the Aldi washing-up liquid - much better than branded types, IMHO - though I was very impressed with some Ecover that I got when it was on special offer in the local Co-op.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite recipe book is a very old and very tatty copy of 'The Complete Rose Elliot'. She is the doyenne of vegetarian recipes and I still use that book at least once a week even after all the years I've owned it. Elizabeth.
Sue mentioned Ecover too , I will have to have look out for it when its on offer , I have a very old and tatty cake decorating book that i have had for 33 years i use the christmas cake recipe every year and i am a messy cook because i drop things constantly some thing to do with my health issues , Thats why i didnt show that one as i am ashamed of it , lol xxx
DeleteWhoops I just realised I sent my comment as a message to you! Sorry!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll re-type it here!
I love lidl's own brand. It does the job just the same as any of the branded ones.
I love old cookbooks. I have a big collection, all from car boots. I'm a cookbook nerd, I love to read them in bed! X
I shop at Lidl as well as Aldi so i will try that one too , Its the first time i have heard of reading cookery books in bed lol xxx
