This was a recommended review from a foodie, thank you, I forgot to mention you in the review. I do apologise.
This may bring a smile to your face. I have been trying to get the recommended sausage rolls at Aldi for a few weeks now. Finally on Friday they were back in stock. At the checkout I was served by a young girl who said "oh great we have got those back in" - she added that she believed they were better than Greggs according to 'the internet'. I answered her saying oh you have been watching the Bald Foodie Guy have you to which she replied "Yes that's It" Your fan base is obviously growing - keep up the good work !!!!
thanks Rosie, take care 🙂
@@BaldFoodieGuy could you please try the Birdseye sausage rolls
Stumbled across this channel by mistake - can’t stop watching! Great format, great approach and you can tell he’s a genuinely nice fella. Great work! 👍
Very kind Matt thank you 😊👍👍
Thanks for this. Most people who call themselves foodies tend to only like certain exotic and/or expensive foods. They generally don’t like most food. I think anyone who can genuinely enjoy a 21p frozen sausage roll is much more deserving of the title.
Cheers Stephen, kind comment that thankyou. Have a good Sunday. All the best, Gareth 👍
This comment reminds me ov a video I watched where a lady now in her 80s writing for a smaller media outlet in America reviews restaurants, where she differed was she ate at franchised restaurants or large brand restaurants, she rated the premises along with the food, she received some ridicule because these restaurants aren't the kind that the Michelin star system would entertain, yet most people eat in these restaurants because the food is not expensive. Lo and behold a top food critic came to her defense, he said that it was a good idea to rate these restaurants, after all they provide a service to people who can't afford expensive restaurants, many were in premises that had excellent decor and the food they provided was tasty and good value regarding price, the service was often as good as an expensive restaurants as well, I love that this man defended her
Well you were absolutely "spot on" with that review. I went shopping in Aldi, and I bought a box. I couldn't tell the difference either.
Cheers Andrew, spot on arnt they, all the best, Gareth 👍👍😋
Brilliant! This is sooooo helpful….being a pensioner, you are helping me to make better….cheaper choices. Thank you so much!
You're welcome 👍👍👍
Brilliant. Don't be persuaded to change your format : you are spot on! Honesty is a rare commodity these days, and people will love your approach.
Cheers Bill, no I'm not changing. I couldent if I tried. Thank you for your honest words too. Very kind of you. 👌👌
I like the Bald Foodie Guy. Explains things really well and, I think, gives a fair view on things. Particularly like how he gives nutritional value too (which no other cook show does). Also, very easy to listen to. Thank you 🦋
Thank you very much
I totally agree that replying to comments helps to build a rapport with your fellow foodies 👍
Cheers mate
Ah lad we all love ye we think your lovely absolutely lovely spot onnnnnnnn
Cheers Spot on 👍👍👍
Gareth your videos are fast becoming the 'go to' videos to watch when it comes to taste and price comparisons ... keep up the good work for the ordinary man and woman in the street !
Thank you kindly
42,000 additional subscribers in just over a year, well done. It is certainly worth watching your reviews, they are well filmed and presented. Another year and you well be at 100,000 foodies following you.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you kindly
You hit the nail on the head when you said you're paying for Greg's name. Another excellent review which shows that for healthy eating reasons alone we should perhaps ditch the brand names. Thanks and keep the reviews coming. 👍
you're welcome 😊
It’s worth knowing that cost isn’t always a sign of best quality.
I think that too many people are taken in by names/ labels and are afraid to change.
Some of the price differences are astounding and in these hard times people need to know.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers will do
I love your charisma and warm persona, I hope your channel continues to grow! Plus I love your northern accent, you guys sound so much better than us southerners😊
Thank you 👍
@@BaldFoodieGuy my pleasure mate, all the best!
You too mate
Just this minute found you. Fabulous idea. I think we can all be food snobs at times lol so it's great to have a down to earth comparison specially these days, to stop us paying more than we need to just for the name. Thank you so much.
Your welcome Anne, thank you and welcome to the channel and enjoy the videos, all the best, Gareth
Hi Again Bald Foodie from another Bald Foodie sitting here in China desperately wanting to eat a sausage roll at the moment…a great channel! I love the content and your absolutely honest, straight forward delivery and content. Personally I would love to see you doing this on the television rather than the usual food “experts” everyone has to put up with there. This is the food program everyone needs especially these days. Well done and keep it up!
Cheers will do 👍👍
Love the content especially now in times of need I've purchased the Greggs sausage rolls many times from Iceland and looked at the Aldi ones for always thought they'd be horrible keep up the good work
thanks Mark.
Honest, no nonsense reviews about everyday food products - just what we need. What I like most is that you make me want to try stuff I wouldn't normally consider. Well done. For those suggesting that these products could have come from the same factory - look closely. There is a clear difference in the appearance of the raw products - the pastry is a different colour, and the scoring is in opposite directions relative to the seam. In the cooked products, one was clearly more puffed than the other.
Thank you yes pretty much the same
I shall be trying the Aldi ones, as you say, its a no brainer! You are going to save me a lot on my shopping bill, which is much needed at present. The only problem, your videos always make me want to go and eat, now!!
Please enjoy 😋👍👍
I've brought both brands and my kids and I have never noticed the difference. I personally find the worst swap in aldi/lidl is the pizzas. Their pizzas don't live up to those of other brands at all. My husband swears by daddy's brown sauce but I've been filling his bottle up with aldi for over a month and he's not said anything 😂😂
Haha I like your style Gemma😂😂😂👍
That’s another level of genius that Gemma. We’ve done the same thing with a few things for the kids. I’m now wondering if the wife has done the same to me ha ha.
I love the idea that he has his OWN bottle of brown sauce that he refills. Bizzare, but makes sense, Daddy?
Thats hilarious. My sister is brand snob and thinks anything aldi must be cheap and nasty. I often give her stuff when she comes over and tell her it's branded and she never knows the difference 😂
You should watch the movie Intermission.
Gary, in two years you have multiplied your channel by ten fold. The credit is down to you and your honest and amusing reviews that appeal to nearly everyone. Great stuff.
Two years on and the Aldi ones are now 30p and the Iceland are 75p. Daylight robbery
Very kind to say mate. You're welcome 😊
It's the same as when there was a scandal involving sweetcorn. The Aldi version cost pence and the Waitrose version considerably more. But, it was the same product just packaged differently.
Absolutely love you're videos! I have a family of 7 and I am always looking at new or different foods especially from Iceland and aldi. Going to binge watch all you're videos now! Keep doing what you are doing! Brilliant channel 😋
Thank you Bridget, all the best to you all 7 of you, thank you, all the best, Gareth 👌👌
I love the fact that you doing the review on these products reaches so many people, so they don't have to waste their money if they don't want to that is! Really enjoy watching your videos 👍
You are so welcome!
Never thought I'd be up at 1pm watching a man weighing sausage rolls
Haha
They taste the same but they cost less.
Great video as always.
Would love to see more taste test comparisons. Especially of Xmas food like mince pies etc.
Cheers Pal
I only came across your channel today by chance but I love all these comparison reviews with big brands vs own labels it's great. keep up the good work and hope to see plenty more with the way prices are rising and looking for equivalent taste for lower prices.
Thank you, I appreciate it Michael, yes look in my comparison playlist. 👍👍
I think your one of the best channels out there such a genuine caring person x
Cheers Vicky 😊👌👍
Discovered you yesterday. Great show and it's helping all sorts of people
Cheers James thank you very much 👍👍
I've not had the Gregg's bake at home ones, but I found with the Aldi and LIDL ones that the sausage inside was like a mushy puree rather than having a bit of bite to it like the Gregg's ones (from the bakery)
You're always getting me going with your vids Gareth. I've never bought a frozen sausage roll from a store, just hot ones from bakers, etc. Anyway, did my shopping this morning and found some BirdsEye ones on special for £1 for 4 so I'll be giving them a go tomorrow. Love your content mate! All the best. martin
Cheers Martin, I've not had them ones, good luck
That was an extremely useful review - comparing two products. Have to say they even looked identical and were maybe produced in the same factory ? Only sausage rolls here (Cyprus) in our bakeries have that frankfurter sausage in them - yuck ! Nearly at 9,000 Gareth - incredible x
Thank you, nearly 👍👍
People would be surprised if they really knew how many products were exactly the same, yet sold by two different companies at very different prices. I worked for a company that did that and when the 'expensive' company visited, we had to hide all products and references to the 'budget' company. That way they wouldn't know what other companies paid for the same product. :-)
Love your vids! Keep up the great content, professional production & your wonderful friendly, no-nonsense approach. A winning formula - look forward to watching your subscriber numbers rocket!
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Glad your like them. All the best, Gareth 😁👍
The Greggs ones are 12gs of saturates per too, compared to Aldi's 8g per. I've noticed you've mentioned that in a few videos and it's something I've had to start looking into myself as doctor said I've got a fatty liver.
Fatty liver is delicious, Aldi do a good range in that
My first thought of what that 3g of extra weight was, fat.
Gaz, this is BRILLIANT! It just goes to show what you pay for in a name, when the one half the price is exactly (or better than) the big brand name. Excellent review pal.
Cheers John, I got your e mail, thanks
also depends, do you want a german company getting the profits or a british company?
None of us are wanting to be getting ripped off though
@@BaldFoodieGuy that is true, but gregs vs aldi, one is a bigger chain and can afford to reduce prices, but, one cant always be picky, nice to see that reduced prices like you said, doesnt mean reduced quality or vice versa, higher price to higher quality
Yes it's a minefield isn't it. I heard and didn't know but the main man at greggs has been a naughty boy. Now how true it is I don't know. I haven't googled it and I'm not going to, just what I heard. All the best, Gareth 👍👍
A great video. So good to have you ding videos about supermarket food instead of cooking from scratch. Love your style too. Well done.
Thanks for another great review ...I'm .going to try the just essential cheese and bean bakes you reviewed at the weekend . Love to see which product you're trying out each week ☺
thanks very much
I love your reviews, it is great to get an honest opinion of the food. Your energy is fab.
Food tip when you cook your sausage rolls brush the top with a bit if garlic butter...it's so good!
Thank you Shari good of you to say. I love garlic butter too, yummy. All the best, Gareth 😘😋👌
Given the almost identical box, product look, taste and ingredients, there is a fair chance they both came from the same factory or supplier.
Quite possible, although just as likely the Aldi brand are trying to replicate the Greggs branded product. Discounters such as Aldi and Lidl often emulate the appearance and branding of popular products as closely at they think they can legally get away with.
Greggs cook in their own factory and do not cook for anyone else
@@lisacrane3143 That's incorrect. Greggs has hundreds of suppliers.
Little tip for you all, all of Sainsbury’s packaged bread products are made by Kingsmill. So buy Sainsbury’s and take the saving!
Great we don't have a sainsburys near me😭😭😭👍
Totally brilliant, I find myself agreeing with all your example trials, just so straightforward and honest. Only recently found your channel, so I’m still catching up on the past ones. But I’m getting there.
You're welcome 😊
Always enjoy these comparisons Bald!
cheers Paul.
When you took them out of the boxes the only difference was crimping on the edge of the pastry of the Aldi brand. Then cut open, they looked exactly the same! It's nice to see comparisons :)
when i was a youngin, Greggs was called Greggs of Gosforth, a local bakery just outside Newcastle, its nationwide now its all mass produced , probably both made in same factory
I also noticed there was more egg wash on the Aldi as opposed to the other brand....
More slits along the Aldi one compared to the Greggs one
Also slits are diagonal the opposite way on Greggs ones
@@grahamjohnson4702 I know a local bakery that supplies UK wide, one type of thick sliced bread,30 different bags, wasn't financially worth it to change it for every shop,we are also sick of buying the same branded product sold all over UK different prices in each shop, you can't tell me a mars bar will be made different in all retailers so should be same price
@@grahamjohnson4702 can't help being smart pal,but you get many products like he tests, side by side on a shelf nutrition values very similar, tastes very similar,. Or sometime better than expensive.products but prices double than cheaper shops own brands, only difference is very budget ranges which are very diffrent but these aren't always what he compares one silly product in question. Go into lidls, they sell half chocolate covered oaty biscuits next to hob nob covered in chocolate almost 3 times the cost but not as tasty, they must sell 100 to one of shop packets, if that's you buying that one pack , keep it up and enjoy
I haven't tried Aldi sausage rolls but my freezer is loaded with Greggs sausage rolls from Iceland. I love them.
Must say you make the video all the better with your personality and enthusiasm just makes the video really enjoyable to watch
Cheers Billy, all the best, Gareth 👍👍
I love food channels on UA-cam, I'm more into the cooking channels but came across your channel by accident. However, I love it. I like your light heartedness towards your production. keep up the good work and the videos coming.
Cheers Lee, kind words. 👍👍
That was brilliant. My hubby is from London and I lived there for four years. This was fun. We did join you and can't wait for the next one. Thanks, Dave and Merry Ann from Minnesota
Thank you glad you like them, take care in Minnesota 👍👍
This is the content I like to see. Science in the right area
YOU ARE SO KIND, We appreciate you x
Cheers pal 👍👍
great too see someone reviewing fast food , from different places . keep up the good work , love the vids.
Thank you 😋👍👍
A very well done film !!!! And seeing as I buy sausage rolls alot this has been most interesting !!! Your strength is your doing every day food !!!!
Cheers Dan👍👍
Good review, time and again your reviews put Aldi in a good light and their prices are hard to beat and it only leaves a sour taste with me that these large companies with fancy names are having us over and think we are mugs, if Aldi can make a sausage roll and sell it at that price and show a profit then the others should be able to do the same, please keep up the good work educating us all.
Cheers John
Your review was great, as usual. Chock full of useful info. But what I really want to compliment you for is how thoughtful you are to your viewers. You're telling the truth about how quickly and personally you respond to comments. And your kindness is appreciated. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I found your channel today after looking for an iceland pizza review. Your videos are great and I've subscribed.
thanks pal, i appreciate it. Im going live this Friday at 8 if your about. cheers.
Would love to see u taste test mince pies / Xmas puds etc from all the different supermarkets nearer xmas to see which you think taste the best and value for money 💖
Good shout, thank you 😘👌👌
This is a very good suggestion re mince pies and Christmas food. I was thinking the same!
@@nigelh3253 did somebody mention mince pies? Mmmmmm...
@@andrewuk8363 ......i love them too LOL
retired trucker here mr kipling and all the other supermarket brands are all made in the same factory
Huge difference isn’t it! I remember years ago they did a Christmas Pudding taste test and Aldi won hands down.
The only difference we ever noticed was occasionally the Greggs branded Iceland bought ones often had a more peppery taste.
Never bought anything from Greggs since the heir to the Greggs empire was locked up for abusing little kids.
It’s great that you do take the time to appreciate the “Foodies 😂 “ and I’m sure they would understand that can’t reply to everybody
, you have a real life to live and videos to make so keep up the good work 👍... any chance you’d do a comparison of real food and that plant based versions?... can’t believe it’s anywhere near as good myself 🧐🤔👍
Cheers Chris
Nice one Gareth! Love all the Iceland Greggs range but the price difference here makes me think I'll try the Aldi ones next 👌🏻 top work mate! 🙂
Cheers Lee 👍
Like a fool, I bought the Greggs sausage rolls just the other week. Going to Aldi from now on. They look exactly the same! And I love a good sausage roll! Greggs can shove it's 3 grams of extra sausage roll up it's chufter!!! Thanks for the review matey!
Cheers pal
Hi pal glad you did this one, I used to buy Greggs sausage rolls from their shop till they put them up from £1.00 to £1.25 each a 25% increase. So got the Iceland ones, Aldi from now on. Cheers
Nice one
I buy Aldi sausage rolls regularly as not just good for a meal but also a quick snack. I didn’t even realise Greggs sold outside of their own outlets. 26 mins perfect timing for chips too 😁. Also I worked in food for years and often we would supply the same product to different supermarkets. The only difference being the box. Try a number of Swiss Rolls and you will see what I mean. Also look at where they are manufactured and if they are from the same region possibly the same manufacturer.
i remember a place in derby called cockpit hill it was and open air market that sold Cadbury chocolate cakes at full price in the cadbury box or you could buy the same cadbury cake from the same stall in an unboxed packet for half the price same cake same wrapping packet just without the cadbury logo x
I've been buying Aldi sausage rolls for a long time and you really can't beat them the quality is great as is the taste , you should try their spinach and ricotta frozen ready to cook slices they are to die for absolutely delicious 👍😍
Cheers Linda 😘👍👍
As someone else mentioned...'possibly' both made in same factory and packed in different boxes.
I know from experience that DIY and car care type products were exactly the same, but packaged differently, with biggggg differences in price to the end user.
Cheers Paul for that
Hello not been following for long just joined you an excellect video who would think no difference between aldi and greggs I've often thought that maybe the same food but just packaged differently and you have done a great job in showing us keep up the great work and thank you 👏👏👏
Your welcome, yes couldn't really tell them apart to be honest.
i’ll have to try the aldi sausage rolls based on your recommendations!! i’d love to see you try a crestwood steak pie for 99p from aldi. we watch your videos regularly, may i say “spot on👍” and “that is that”😁
Cheers Lisa, yes more to come and glad you like the videos, all the best 👍👍
I’m not usually a brand tart but being from the north east I can’t see past greggs when it comes to pasties and sausage rolls. They’re iconic.
fair enough.
Love your channel, very honest reviews as we all strive to save money I have started to cook food in an airfryer, I take the oven timings split it in half and add 20 % seems to work fine the electric/gas savings are starting to show regards Paul
Glad you like them!
At this point 2 years ago, 8k viewers ………… 2 years later 80k!!!!! That’s an amazing achievement!! Keep going!!
Thanks! 😃
Be interesting to see what you think of the Greggs steak slices vs the Aldi ones.For me on taste alone it swings back towards the greggs as the Aldi ones had a lot more gristle in them than the greggs but again the Aldi were cheaper
Good shout that 👌👌
I go to Aldi's on a Thursday so I will look out for these when I'm there. Limited income so I love a bargain!!
I'm on aldi shops on Saturdays, been running on budgets etc here too
I missed this comment sorry, good you found them
Totally agree with you Gareth. Always used to buy the Greggs until we saw this video. The taste is exactly the same, so much difference in the price though! Great vid. Thanks.
Cheers Martin yes I couldn't tell the difference. Nice one pal.
Love your channel, it is honest and fun , great video love your accent.
Thanks so much! 😊
I never used to like sausage rolls, but there was a Gregg's near where I used to work and it was convenient to buy them and I was sold! I like eating them with a dollop of mayo and sweet chilli sauce!
However, there's an Aldi opened 200 yards away from where I live, so I'll be popping over there tomorrow to try theirs out for lunch! 😉👍
So how did they compare ?
@@kenmay1572 Sadly, they didn't have any and it wasn't just a gap in the freezer compartment, or like they'd run out.
I'll keep trying, or maybe even try the vegan variety! 😉
Gareth I forgot to say I love the streams where you put
Products up against each other
Great idea
👍🏻😁
More to come Lee 👍👍
Only recently come across the channel and straight away subsribed(something I rarely do). Love the content. Enjoyable, entertaining and also educational. Love it. You're a top bloke👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Will, all the best, Gareth
Most companies use the same supplier maybe just a slight change to the ingredients if you check the back. I’m an HGV driver and have picked up food products from various suppliers one load from a supplier would have sat 26 pallets on for say Asda with boxes marked up for the budget range and boxes marked up for the deluxe range. Same goes for all supermarkets.
Cheers Steven
When you purchase from Iceland can you check their products for Palm Oil as they made a promise several years ago not to use and I noticed both sausage rolls had the Palm Oil.
Apparently it is lethal for our digestive system.. 💐
Will do, cheers for looking into that 👍👍
Iceland only make the no palm oil claim for own brand products
@@MarkBrennan these sausage rolls are their own brand no?
TaNkSaLoT100 No, they are Greggs branded. Just stocked exclusively by Iceland. If they were Iceland they would be marketed as such. Subtle but important difference.
Great video. However, I wonder if these came out of the same factory? You only compared 1 roll from each pack, it would be better to compare all of them or even weigh all 4 together from each pack. Similarly, 1% difference in pork content could be a calculation difference between the two suppliers plus rounding errors.
What is significant to me is that you could not tell the difference in taste, that is the most important criteria. In such a situation buy the cheapest!
We buy some products from the new LIDL store near us here in Hove and the quality has improved so much in recent years.
You know its like the old TV advert
I like these sausage rolls and I like these sausage rolls.
Can't remember what supermarket the advert was for.
Sometimes food is food
Thanks for showing the nutritional information on the products.
Your welcome Paul 👍👍
Really love the Greggs sausage rolls 😁 always gotta add them to the basket
Great review, these are sold in there thousands, you’ve hit a golden nugget here, how many other ‘Branded’ products are there out there that can compete evenly on quality? I always reached for the Greggs.. not anymore..
(Side note: Brown or ketchup? I now have a dash of both!
try Aldi Sausages to the Richmond Sausages with Aldi you get 61 to Richmond Sausages 41
I love this - a taste comparison of everyday supermarket grub, especially when Aldi is in the mix. New subscriber!
Thank you, welcome to the channel and enjoy the videos, all the best, Gareth
Just found your channel and I have to say I really like it so I am now looking forward to more content. Paul from Bristol
Cheers Paul, thank you, more to come, all the best, Gareth
Both good but I still think the Greggs win hands down
Maybe I’m a snob 😂😂😂
Nice to see Aldi foregoing the need for pointless plastic in their packaging. I wouldn't buy the greggs even if they were ten times better and cheaper because of the needless plastic. :-(
Yes you bloody would !
Subbed for a few reasons. 1 your funny 2. Propper review. 3 the respect for your subs and comments
Cheers Dale, thank you. Welcome to this channel. Yes we are all the same mate only human, its good to talk isn't it, all the best pal, Gareth 👍👍
@@BaldFoodieGuy thank you for you kind comment 😁
Greetings from Wales chief! Xx. Really love your reviews.
Thank you David 👍👍
I’ve tried both of these and the Aldi ones in my view taste better and less than half the price-it’s no contest really-Aldi wins by a country mile
Thank you 👌👌
The things about the Greg's ones is both Greg's and Iceland are taking a bigger chunk of the purchase price
Needs HP sauce again 😂😂😂 watched till the end and not even a dollop of reggae reggae 😂😂❤️❤️❤️ Good work. Got yaself another foodie 😊
Haha cheers Benn yes imagine the uproar if I'd of got a sauce out lol
Keep what are doing showing the new food coming out because i love to see new things few the food
will do cheers
Just need to leave them on the side for three hours for the true Greggs experience.
Don't forget to invite one of your chavvy neighbours and her snot nosed kids into your home while you eat it so you can experience the authentic Greggs experience
@@spencerwilton5831 we haven’t had chavs and snot nosed kids in the UK since the mid 2000s, Spencer.
Hey bald buddy lol 😂 love your channel 🤩 great reviews. Same o same o paying for the Dawn name again! Ugh!
Hey, thanks
Mate. Really really good videos, keep going 👏 👍
Glad you like them!
A very interesting and informative Channel . Thank you .
Cheers Paul
Lol the 1% more pork is most likely less pastry content.
Apart from baked beans I can’t think of anything I’ve ever got from Aldi that isn’t up to standard when compared to others.
Aldi exists here in the German speaking region since after WW2 and the concept is not new here.
Most (around 90%) of ALDI stuff is actually produced by the well known brand using ALDI recipies and kicking the price through the floor with mass production. I dare to guess BOTH rolls were made by GREGGs.
ALDIs tools line for example is the camouflaged BOSCH green (non- pro) product line.....
Brilliant, thanks for the cracking comment. Yes you are probably right., all the best, Gareth 👍👍
they looked so nice for that price you could feed your kids them with chips and beans .
I know this is an old video but I’m still catching up with them all, such a lovely lovely guy! Keep doing what you’re doing. Very entertaining 😇
Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Will do, glad you like them. Cheers 😋👍👍👍
You can put these in an air fryer for 10-11 minutes and they're great. 25 minutes in the oven is just far too long, especially if you live alone and just want a quick snack.
Cheers Rich
