Found: Fruit Loops at Aldi
« on: August 30, 2013, 03:50:44 PM »
Discovered while I was stopping in for a few bits- 1.39 a box if anyone is interested, not sure if its all or hit and miss.

Guess they are everywhere now:)

The version sold here is terrible. Only 3 colours, and not fruity or sweet enough. Tastes like cardboard hoops. Disgusting.

I complained to Kelloggs who told me to get lost.

Real shame.

On a similar note, DH saw A1 steal sauce for sale in Hereford Tesco (for £5.50!). He didn't buy it as he's still working on the bottles my mom brought him last year. Ludlow Tesco sells Goldfish (but they're called Finz), and had Pepperidge Farm cookies for about a month (now gone). Has anyone else found US goods in non-specialist shops?

i also saw some Libby's pumpkin in Aldi's a couple weeks ago, not sure if they still had it in at mine. I think it was less than a pound for the can.

Oh- also agree about the UK version of Fruit loops but my kids don't really know any better

We went to Aldi last week and they didn't have any in ours.

A1 sauce for £5.50! It's a poor substitute for HP Sauce for me when in the States. I did get some looks in a diner putting some on my eggs!

I'm eating some now, found it in Costcutters! It's not nearly as bright, it's almost as though there are laws preventing the dumping of copious amounts of artificial dyes in everything here... tastes like I remember, though!

Found fruit loops in our local asda makes me smile when I find American products. They sell Hershey kisses too and I swear it took like 10 years to be able to buy reeses peanut butter cups in Eastbourne  Now asda sells mini ones. Love it !!!

I can't remember if it's the Libby's brand, but I've been able to get tinned pumpkin at M&S and Whole Foods.  :)  I stocked up thinking it was a seasonal thing (I found them last autumn) but I've since seen them at Whole Foods.  :)  Hard to find, though- at Whole Foods they're in the baking section, but at M&S they were somewhere silly and I had to spend about 10 minutes searching in the store (I knew they had them on their website).  :P

Whole Foods definitely stock Libby's as well as another brand in a glass jar (whose name I can't remember).

Dw always picks up some tinned pumpkin when we go to the States for Thanksgiving, hopefully she still has a can or 2 in the kitchen cupboard with us not going over this year, otherwise she won't be popular at Christmas! She always makes a pumpkin pie to take to my sister's at Christmas and they love it.

I've also spotted fruit loops in the Waitrose in Salisbury. Though I've been to the Waitrose in Gillingham, Dorset and they didn't have any so maybe not all Waitrose carry them. Also the Waitrose in Salisbury sells pop tarts. Just the strawberry frosted kind but it's the first time I've seen them in the UK.
