Personally nothing, I buy branded cycling stuff elsewhere when it's reduced to Aldi prices!

This question demands a separate thread, I think...

I'll tell you later.

I got a winter jacket - not the fancy one.... I thought I'd get too hot in one of those. I also got a waterproof jacket as spare.... I've had one for the last 3 years.....and they do a very good job.
2 × GT85 and 4 pints of semy skimmed milk.

I got 2 long sleeve tops, 1 winter jacket (cheaper one) gloves, base layers, hat and neck warmer. No excuses for not going out in the cold! Was disappointed that the waterproof trousers were not available.

I got a turbo trainer. Looking forward to trying it out.

 

[Sim2003]

couple packs of the sports drink tablets,
rear strip light ,
easy fit lights for my back up bike .

Clothes didnt fit me so that was poo.

2x Merino base layers to replace the 2 I purchased 3 years ago. Excellent kit for commuting in.

Garmin's not branded? personally it seems to me that quite a lot of branded products are made in China etc anyway lol

 

[vickster]

Clothing, where it's made isn't the issue, it's the fit and quality. Tbh for me, the aldi and lidl stuff simply doesn't offer the same feel as the brands I go for. And they also don't produce ladies clothing in larger sizes.

I've got a garmin 800 so why would I want or need a 500

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Nothing, nothing I need on the list.
@vickster we are not all rich you know, me I have £19 a week to spend on stuff, and to some thats a lot.

Probably bounces better

I only came back with a tube of electrolyte tablets and lobster mitts. I thought I'd give their performance winter jacket a go but they didn't have my size.

Fair enough but I seek out deals on clothing that is generally half price and thus actually not much more than the advertised aldi prices. I'd rather pay £30 for something that was £60 and justo able than £20 for something that feels like £20.

Nor do they cater in my size which is pretty crap. Normally that's a failing of castelli
