I am going to only buy food from Aldi for an entire week, as I am becoming a food snob. Check here for progress reports.
Day 1 highlights
At lunch I first ate a Deliciously tasty Chicken & Sweetcorn sandwich. Only 99p so one can't really complain on the basis of value. A rather bland concoction, not unsurprisingly, a hint of lemon, or anything for that matter, wouldn't have gone a miss. Not enough sweetcorn for my liking. But altogether an unsurprising and forgettable concoction. I also bought a Deliciously gourmet Cheese & Flame grill Vegetable Wrap. At £1.18 it was a totally different animal; somehow more stodgy than the sandwich, with a slightly putrid cheese flavor which came and went like a smelly dog. The aubergines were too big and the peppers were too small. A bit of a mess really, although unusually filling for a wrap. There is a worrying trend underlying these sandwiches, however. I'm not one to callorie count whatsoever (many of you may remember my joy at finding an entirely red wheel of health), but these sandwiches had 16.4 and 31.5 grams of fat and 449 and 591calories respectively. Not a great start to my Aldi experiment - I will have to spend the money I saved on swimming.

Has your Aldi experiment fallen through on Day 2?
Er, yes, I stopped going. I didn't go anywhere else, I just ate stuff from the cupboard. Ill write an apology some time.
