Aldi confirms discontinued Prawn Cocktail Crisps will return
These include the likes of its:
Discontinued UK chocolates and sweets
But shoppers were left fuming when Aldi confirmed its Specially Selected Prawn Cocktail Hand Cooked Crisps had also been discontinued.
One person, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "@AldiUK what's happened to the prawn cocktail crisps? Bring them back please! Are they only sold around Christmas?"
To which an Aldi spokesperson replied: "Hi there. We have discontinued this product. Sorry for any disappointment.
"We can certainly let our buying team know you are looking for them!"
The disappointed shopper added: "Please do!!! I've been searching for them - I hate prawns but these crisps were amazing and addictive ha!"

As well as "addictive", the prawn cocktail crisps have also been described as "The Best Crisps Ever", by a user on Threads, and even featured on Good Housekeeping's list of the best crisps for picnic and BBQ season in 2024.
The crisps were said to be a mixture of "sweet and tangy tomato and prawn" flavours, creating a "pleasing balance of sweet, salty, acidic and smoky", according to Good Housekeeping taste testers.

Aldi brings back '10/10′ garden shade that costs under £20
ALDI has brought back a customer favourite garden product that shoppers say is "10/10". The Garden Sail Shade Kit is back in stores currently and offers protection from the sun for your garden or patio. 1 It's just £19.99, making it a great bargain alternative to a parasol. Unlike a parasol, you won't need to struggle with setting up a pole or worry about transporting a heavy base around. All the fixtures and fittings are included so it should be a relatively easy set-up. At 300cm x 200cm, it might not cover your whole garden area but it could create a shaded area over your outdoor dining set. It comes in either a rectangle or a triangle shape so you can choose what suits your space best. Plus it's in two different colours: beige or navy. The shade is water repellent so should hold up well if it rains. It's an Aldi Specialbuy which means that once it's gone, it's gone. But it has been on Aldi shelves in previous years. One shopper wrote on Aldi's Instagram: "Snail shade is 10/10 I've had it for a year x." Other social media users say they have had their shades for even longer. One person wrote: "Dont know the dimensions but we have the rectangle one and love it.. we have had it for 6 summers still going strong." Another said they owned the shade already and "love, love, love it !" Other garden shade options If you're looking for something a little different, there are some other options you can consider. Aldi is selling The Instant Canopy, which it claims can be set up in just three minutes. It's a little more expensive at £44.99 but has dimensions of 3 x 3 x 2.7m. Aldi says it will be perfect for "sudden summer rains" - something that could be useful this weekend. You could also go for a parasol if you want a particular area to be shaded. Tesco is selling the Harbour Housewares Wooden Garden Parasol, which is a steal at £36.99. Meanwhile Robert Dyas has the five-star Monaco Grey 2.7m Parasol. It's currently on offer for £39.99, down from £49.99. A well-kept garden can add anywhere between 5-20% to the value of a property. carried out a study and consulted 36 estate agents, garden designers and property professionals from across the UK.

I taste tested Aldi's award-winning wines with mixed reviews
But with so many fantastic options to choose from, it can be hard to find the perfect bottle that is just right for you. If you are looking for a great value wine, as well as something that tastes fantastic, I find the best place to start (as with most things) is Aldi. To help convince you further about Aldi's selection, 46 of their wines have recently been awarded medals at the prestigious International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC) 2025. From those award-winning tipples, social media wine expert and IWSC judge Andy Pincott, aka the Affordable Wine Hunter, picked the six best that you can buy for under £10. So, I took his advice and popped down to my local Aldi to grab a bottle of each. My wife and I, who have very different palates when it comes to wine, then spent an afternoon relaxing at home with a charcuterie board and these six wines, testing to see whether they lived up to the high praise. My take on Aldi's best award-winning wines Sous Les Mers (£6.99) The experts described Aldi's Sous Les Mers as "an easy-drinking French white that offers freshness and balance", and I agree. (Image: Patrick Glover) Andy described the Sous Les Mers as an "easy-drinking French white that offers freshness and balance". My wife and I couldn't have agreed more, both taken back by the softness of the flavour, and how "drinkable" it was. This was my wife's favourite of the six wines. No matter where you are drinking this wine, you can just imagine yourself sitting in a beer garden somewhere in the summer sun. On top of all that, it is "amazing value" at £6.99. Costières de Nîmes Blanc (£8.99) The Costières de Nimes Blanc is your traditional, dry white wine. (Image: Patrick Glover) This southern French white wine was extremely flavourful. Think your traditional, dry white wine with citrus flavours (although I swear I could taste apple). Ideal if you are looking for a wine to have with an evening meal. Both my wife and I agreed that the Costières de Nîmes Blanc was about middle of the range in comparison to the five others. Rosorange (£9.99) Aldi's Rosorange is one wine to avoid. (Image: Patrick Glover) Next, we ventured on to Aldi's Rosorange, which has proven itself as somewhat of a viral trend in recent years. Both my wife and I honestly didn't see the appeal. It ranked an extremely distant last when compared to Aldi's other award-winning wines. It was tangy, you couldn't really taste the orange, and it left a weird, overpowering aftertaste in your mouth. I'm sorry to say, as I hate wasting even a single drop of alcohol, the Rosé went straight down the sink after we'd finished the taste test. While the taste is bad enough, the Rosorange Rosé was the most expensive of the six wines as well at £9.99. Definitely one to steer clear of. Specially Selected Austrian Zweigelt (£7.99) The Austrian Zweigelt was my favourite wine of the six we tried. (Image: Patrick Glover) With the white wines out of the way, we cleansed our palates with some water and more cheese and made our way onto the red wines - my favourite. Having spent the first 26 years of my life in Australia, living off delicious reds from the likes of Penfolds, Yalumba and d'Arenberg, I am very much a full-bodied red wine drinker. So I was surprised when I discovered the medium-bodied Austrian Zweigelt to be my favourite Aldi wine. Giving off aromas of berries and forest fruits, it has a wonderful spicy taste accompanied by a smooth finish. While my wife didn't like it as much, I thought it was a fantastic wine and is definitely worth adding to your shopping list next time you visit Aldi. Specially Selected Caladoc Rouge (£7.99) This red wine is a mixture of Malbec and Grenache. (Image: Patrick Glover) The Specially Selected Caladoc Rouge received mixed reviews from my wife and I. It was one of my least favourite of the Aldi wines, while it was my wife's favourite out of the reds. This red is a mixture of Malbec and Grenache and, for me, was just a bit of flavour overload. There was just too much going on. It gave off a fruity aroma, said to be of "stewed plums and brambles", while the taste is described on the bottle as a combination of "earth, pepper and blackcurrants". Bureiras Vides Cabernet Franc – (£8.99) Aldi's Cabernet Franc is a classic full-bodied red wine with smoky/peppery flavours. (Image: Patrick Glover) The final wine on our tasting journey was the Argentinian Cabernet Franc. This is a classic full-bodied red with a smoky, peppery kind of taste, not too dissimilar to that of a traditional Cabernet Sauvignon. An ideal pairing for a dinner-time meal like beef stew. Worth a try for those traditional red wine drinkers out there, although is one of the more pricer options on the list at £8.99. RECOMMENDED READING: The last drop (conclusion) After a few hours of wine tasting, my wife and I concluded that despite both having our favourites, which were both extremely different, it doesn't matter what we think. Everyone has their own tastes. So what I like will be different from what my wife likes, which will be different again from what you, the reader, likes. So, take in our little taste testing notes, hopefully they are a helpful guide, but go out and buy the wine that you like. It might be from Aldi, it could be from M&S, or Asda. But wherever it's from, just follow your taste buds.
