FOUND: Maple syrup, Aldi

Not sure if this is common knowledge around here, but Aldi have really reasonably priced maple syrup.  Boyfriend was over the moon when we found it - we had our first pancakes on Monday since moving here 4 months ago.  It's £2.99 for 250 mL, which is equivalent to ~$18/quart.  That's not bad comparing it to prices in the US: Shaws ~ $16, Costco ~$13 and from a sugar shack in Vermont ~$20-22.  (Yes, I know a little too much about this!).

That's good to know as I have a rare Aldi trip planned in the near future. I use their dishwasher tabs as they are cheap and Which? rated them better than the expensive brands, but I only go once in a while to stock up. I've been meaning to buy some maple syrup anyway.

How is the taste?

Hmm, I've never seen it there before, although I haven't really looked. We shop at Aldi every week so I will keep my eyes peeled this week.

Courtney, I recently won a prize hamper from Aldi which included THREE boxes of their dishwasher tabs....I don't have a dishwasher. I have although found they are great for soaking really burnt on sticky foods. I had to laugh when I opened the prize box!

Three!? Lol! That's a lot of sticky food. Congrats on your win!

Three - well, yeah, we have to stock up, who knows if it will be there next time we go!

I'd rate the taste as a medium amber.  I'd normally prefer it a little darker.

I bought a bottle a few weeks ago.  I haven't tried it yet though.

Is that for proper maple syrup and not 'high fructose maple butter flavoured fake kind' ? That's a pretty good price! I <3 Aldi!

I was wondering the same thing!

I buy my maple syrup at Tesco and it's about £5 for a bottle - I think it might be larger than 250ml, though. I very rarely use it, so it doesn't work out to cost very much in the long-run, but I'd be happy to find the real deal for less!

I find that real maple syrup is available in most supermarkets, but i prefer the fake stuff and can no longer find it anywhere.

Hold up! I was just there and found Pure Canadian Maple Syrup. 250ml for £2.99. 

I'm trying to remember how much the maple syrup at the UK Costco costs.  I'm pitiful and have been making the fake stuff with mapeleine from home.  I know it's ridiculous, but it's the taste from my childhood, so it hasn't been bad for me.  I've been toying with going over to proper maple syrup though.

Think I bought this just after they had the American stuff recently and might have been left over from previous weekly specials
