Better than that, Aldi are doing fruit pies for 69p for 6 - just did the
maths and it works out 11.5p per pie! In fact if you cut them in half they
work out at just under 6p a snack. The box looks a bit flimsy but the pies
themselves seem to be of reasonable quality - "Light, shortcrust pastry
cases filled with a delicious Bramley apple filling and a light sugar
dusting. Winner of a Good Housekeeping Institute Quality Product award."

I'm going to fill the shed up while stocks last.

What are you, an anorexic wasp? For a normal adult male human, that's
69p per snack.

I think I'd go along with the suggestion that half a pie is a bit miserable,
but a whole box is overdoing it, surely ? [Mind you, I was known to eat
3-packs of Creme Eggs with a pint of tea in my youth.]

Better value can be had by popping into Sainsbury's and collecting 2 6-packs
of Mars bars. Not only have they been £1.18 for a while, at the moment they
are on 2 for £2, and when I looked at my bill, someone had goofed on the
EPOS system and had programmed the multibuy reduction at 56p, not 36p. So I
paid £1.80 for 12 Mars bars, or 15p each. Yes, I know they're slightly
smaller than the standard size, but suspect that must be a staggeringly
cheap way of buying calories. 242 of them according to the wrapper.

Lidl have (probably) the same apple pies at the same price. They're not at
all bad. As indeed is a lot of their stuff. I stock up there on basics,
and then head to Tesco or Sainsbury for a wider choice of what's missing.

But you can't expect top performance from a pie at that price. Are they
safe? What would happen if a piece of crust proke off and struck you in the
eye?

Can you get spares?

That's just a marketing ploy. What sort of warranty do they have?

Funny you should say that ;-)

I was using one of the pies yesterday and did suffer a crust failure. One
of the pie lids wasn't fixed securely to the outer casing and as I went to
use it it gave way nearly landing on my unprotected toe. Upon checking the
5 remaining pies I found that all of them had some form of structural
defect, rendering them totally unsafe for all but the lightest use.

When I contacted Aldi regarding the faulty pie, they were less than
sympathetic and told me that I should wear shoes in case this kind of thing
happens again.

As for warranty, it turns out that there is small print on the box that says
they have to be used before a certain date after which the warranty is void.
In my case this date was only a few days after the purchase.

There is no doubt you are paying for the name and the ingredients are the
same as Aldi own brands, cost a total of 2p, all made in the same factory.

Both are loaded with sugars, hydrogenated fats and other crap. Hence,
if one did wish to eat such muck, then one might as well buy the cheap
one.

Has anyone out there managed to get these Apple Pies to fit the router

competent in matters mechanical but whatever I do, the flipping pie just
falls through the hole in the table.

Not to worry Andrew, I hear Lidl are running a special offer on the 26th
October where you can pick up an apple pie adapter flange for the router
table for £1.99 ( PACK OF 5 ). Might be worth checking the small print as I
reckon they might be on a box shifting exercise - you wouldn't want to get
one home to find it is only compatible with strawberry tarts.

Which reminds me:
Earlier today I came across an offer of a router, router table, and bits -
together for 40GBP + VAT. Sounds like a good offer? ;-)

It's your own fault. If you had gone for a reputable quality brand name
like Mr Kipling or Sarah Lee you wouldn't have this problem.

Bringing it back to a DIY topic, I suppose Mr kipling is like the
Dewalt version of the pie world, whereas the Argos 'Challenge' range
are the Aldi own brand pies.

Generally though, pies......aint they great, in what ever form they
come in!?!

No. This is DIY. They shouldn't arrive formed. Make them yourself - they are
much nicer!
