Average to good, how many Aldi threads do we need here?

 

[Danny]

Perhaps we should have a whole forum devoted to Aldi, their sales always generate much excitement

i may need a lightweight waterproof if they have one ; mines a tad heavy for folding away into pocket, and i had to take it off in cumbria yesterday as i overheated quickly.

I get really excited and buy loads, then usually regret it and lose the receipts. Winter stuff (tights and jerseys) from last year was really good and durable and shorts from last spring were good. Terrific value. However the sizing is funny and last years short sleeved tops ripped at the hem very quickly. The track pump tore off my valves. No doubt I'll buy a load of it again this year!

They have a some deals again this Thursday the 18th.
Socks, long sleeved tops, jackets, trousers, hats and gloves and a few other bits and bobs.
Here's to hoping that after work they'll have some tops and socks left!

i think they did some a few years ago. i know a few chaps in the club who are still using them, and the current ones look better than the old ones too.

thanks i will pop in tomorrow and see how it goes

It's all out this evening - Picked up the Bike Rack thing which is the only thing I wanted, Shoes didn't come with cleats (I'm sure it said they did) but do come with studs !?!?!?

 

[Willow]

I wish they wouldn't always do these things on a Thursday I can't get there!

 

[Priscilla Parsley]

got mine! i asked and they brought out the rack

Be careful with the sizing on the jackets.

I bought the winter jacket and the rain jacket both in the same size and one is much,much bigger than the other.
