Talking of Aldi bargains, I see that Cuthbert is making a comeback to the stores on Monday.

"Aisle be back"

"Made by bakers. Approved by lawyers."

Cuthbert is now £3 cheaper than Colin, who has risen in price to £8.

Other caterpillars are available !

Car bits in Lidl!
Trim fixing clips - mainly scrivets of varying sizes but with some of those natty cable ties that clip into the bodywork. Box states they fit BMW, so maybe they're a good match. 600+ for £9.99.
Impact guns. Up to 400Nm torque. £69.99
Bodywork trim removal tools in a storage case. £9.99.
Bagged myself the first two.

In-store, approaching the time when Aldi reduce prices on their power tools, to clear shelf space.

£24.99 in our Aldi. Then battery£20.00. Then charger?
I bought the best drill I have ever had from Lidl years ago. That much torque there is a side grip that you don’t fit at your expense. Hammers drills into the wall in next to no time.Mind you it is a 240volt, not battery.
