I’m not having good luck because the Aldis I can get to don’t really have what I can eat or use. Either allergens are included so I can’t buy it, the item isn’t sold, or there’s no generic option.

I do buy the Trimat unscented laundry sauce which I prefer and stock up on, the sunflower spread seems to be ok to eat, and the Prince deodorant roll on seems to be good. The soy milk is fine. I am able to eat one or two of the lolly bags if I pay what they cost.

But yeah due to unfortunately having different needs it’s awkward to try and shop there, a lot of my staples just aren’t covered
