Aldi - 6pc Cast Iron Cook Set in Timber Box
« on: December 29, 2012, 02:58:07 PM »
Just noticed that Aldi has on sale 5th Jan, a 6 pc Cast Iron Cook Set in Timber box (box has rope handles) lid is stamped "Adventure Ridge" The set includes 9qt Camp oven, 3qt Saucepan and Trivet Base, 12inch Skillet, Oversized 2 Burner BBQ plate, 43cm lid lifter. Pre-seasoned. 22kgs/.  $69.99.  A great deal!!

Pity really.... I picked up 4.5qt CO with carry bag, lid lifter, leather gloves and trivet (lid can be used as a skillet) earlier today at BCF for around $80 - Campfire Brand.  I'm still happy tho, the lid as a good seal. (And my Lodge Logic grill pan was $57 from an oz online kitchen shop.)

Was just reading that.. :laugh: looking at that tent..  comfy enough for 2, light enough to chuck in the Ute for over nighters. My old Supercheap one is looking very sad these days... but even though it was $69 back then (way way back) it has done a few miles. so time to invest in another quality item. ;D  :cheers:

I have had a pretty good success rate with Aldi stuff, some of it is crap though. The way I tell is the local aka Chinese sourced stuff is usually crap however sometimes they import stuff from Germany and that is really good. I have a hole saw kit (8 pieces) which is made in Germany and it has been great, cost me the price of one Sutton hole saw from Bunnings. We have a kids table and chairs set and that has been great too. I did buy some of their air tools, the nailer has worked well however the shears lasted one job. They also have a no bullsh!t return policy so I take the broken stuff back and get my money back.

Agree.

Some of their stuff is made under licence for Aldi's own brands.

XS is a Weaco for example.

Gotta say though it is a bloody depressing place to step foot into.

Have to agree with the above the stuff tends to be great or craptacular. No in between.

Why is it depressing?

Have had a pretty good record with Aldi stuff.  Budget priced doesnt allways mean cheap and nasty.  Have had good use out of their 3 way fridge, BBQ, tablet, various TV's for daughters, tools,  etc, etc.  Only ever had one return - their vacuum sealer, which didnt work from first try.  Replacement has given over 12 months service.

Years ago when the Turbo cookers were on special we grabbed a coffee and were at the start of the line at Raymond Terrace Aldi. the line ended up into the car park well next thing ya know this younger female I'll use that terminology loosely headed straight for the front of the line at the doors.All hell broke loose and the guy next to me said if she was a guy he would snot him.She heard this and said I didn't.think there was any men in Raymond Terrace,I then said to her I'm not from the Terrace she goes you look like you were born and breed here,wife laughs.So I said to her listen lay if you get what I'm after there going to be trouble.Doors open and the leading oldies jam her with their trolleys into the glass all I could here was don't touch me don't touch me,you had to be there it was full on.Anyway when I got home I placed the debacle on the caravan forum and guess what it was a she...t fight at most Aldis around the country

Looks to be the same type of kit you can buy at Rays for twice the price. If you were not a 'purist' camp over user, used it every other month and kept up the seasoning I'd suggest you'd get a long service life out of it.
