Jerry Can 20 Litres in Aldi £10-69 on 22nd Jan

[mayalld]

Personally I prefer Lidl but they always seem to build their stores too far from the cut . . .

 

True.

 

Our local area is extraordinarily well provided with canalside supermarkets.

 

Within a days cruise of our mooring, we have;

 

2 Tescos

2 Aldi

1 Asda

 

that are canalside.

Theres also quite a bit work work gear (trousers, padded jackets and the like) on as well on the same day. And a 4gb usb pen drive for £7.

 

- Im getting into this. Who knows what might happen come thursday!!

That's unnecessary language for a moderator.....

 

I think "w**k gear" is the form that's just about acceptable on the forum, isn't it ?

 

And repeating the "w" word, that's just too much...

Are you suggesting that Daniel is a w**ker Alan?

 

I sense a red card coming.

And let he who is innocent of this charge throw the first stone . . .

Oigh !

 

 

 

I find the 20 Litre cans a bit heavy to carry - I bought some ten litre versions on eBay and they have served extremely well for carrying the odd drop of diesel, petrol or drinking water . . .

 

I trust you rinse well before filling with water!

Of course! I rinse it out with petrol . . .

Then one of these trollies, which I got when on special at a much lower price, will ease the load. Handy for supermarket diesel - now cheaper than canalside red!

B****r! There I was trying not to spend any money this week and now I have to nip down to Aldi tomorrow and spend about £66 on hard drives etc as well as jerrycans. Still, that's a saving over what I would have had to spend elsewhere, later, so thanks for the tip!

I use 20L jerry cans, filled to about 1/2 full. Much easier to pour from that full 10L cans, but pretty much the same weight. And if I need to, I can put 20L in instead.

Got our Jerry cans today here in ireland - but the price is 17 euro each! Shame Aldi can't keep up with the exchange rate.....usual rip off here.

[Athy]

A chap round here sells used 5 gallon jerry cans for a fiver the pair, and another chap exchanged one with me for a pint of lager (about the same price). Mind you, there's no saying what the previous owners kept in them.

Thanks for the link - I now have two nice new 20L jerry cans. For info there was only one left in the Derby store at lunchtime today.

Just for the record the army and navy store in Burton on trent sells new and used ones. They've got pallets full of them. If I remember correctly the used ones were £8 each. I can't remember the price of the new ones. They also sell pouring spouts seperately.

Just received future offers emailing from Aldi.

This looks of interest to those requiring fuel cans....

You were very lucky, to get them two weeks after they were first put on sale. I went to our local Aldi on the 23rd January, and they had sold out!!

[Travis]

Got the last one from the Colne store today, also bought a two tontrolley jack for 15 squid.

[Pie Eater]

Got mine the day they went on sale.
