Must have changed. My wife did a shopping there a few years back. Never been back.
threw out most of what she bought. even the biscuits were gross. |

Akabula, I should invite you round for some of my plum tart
 |
|
By:
try the Specially Select range .Mostly top notch
Most of the rest is quite ordinary ,esp some of the independant labels . brands that look very similar but are inferior in taste most of the time at a cheaper price seem to be their game . |

thinly veiled............(oops)
 Some decent wines for the money - and some not so good also but isn't that the case with most supermarkets? |

Smoked pancetta
Greek style yoghurt British free range eggs Manchega cheese Roquefort Cheese All excellent value. Fruit and veg are also cheap, usually good, sometimes less so but you make your choice of what's in season. |

Fruit & Veg lasts much longer tesco's/sainsbury's/m&s
There cheap ham is lovely. Mature cheddar is real mature cheddar. 1.5 litre fruit juice, double strength contains 20% fruit and is nice at 89p Sandwiches are nearly half the price of other retailers. |

Have tried "Aldi" on four occasions, just trying to get to grips with how they do things.
The way things are displayed, and trying to match up the price labels somewhere above (usually) the products takes some understanding. There must be some cunning German marketing going on, when you have fruit and veg on one side of an aisle and breakfast cereal on the other! Then you have boxer shorts, and screwdriver sets, and foot pumps opposite confectionery! In amongst it all are some good quality products, at decent prices, but how the hell it can be declared as "Britain's Favourite Supermarket" is beyond me! I just verified that "Aldi" and "Lidl" combined, have 9% of the UK grocery market so, again, how can the above accolade be correct? |

By:
The layout is the same in each shop, once you know its easy unless you are after a pair of boxer shorts. Not like the main retailers who put fruit & veg at the front and the milk and bread furthest away.

Looking at yours Mr Sonko....
Fruit & Veg lasts much longer tesco's/sainsbury's/m&s There cheap ham is lovely. Mature cheddar is real mature cheddar. 1.5 litre fruit juice, double strength contains 20% fruit and is nice at 89p Sandwiches are nearly half the price of other retailers. Can't comment on shelf life of F & V. Is this an opinion, or based on some in depth appraisal, by people who do in depth appraisals? What is cheap ham? Do you mean re-formed? Double strength fruit juice with 20% fruit!!! In all my years I never bought a supermarket sandwich, so wouldn't know what is a good price! Don't get me wrong, I haven't given up on them yet, and I have bought some excellent "Bockwurst" (Germans are good at sausages) which make brilliant Hot Dogs, with onions, and their own Brioche rolls. |

Aldi sell some excellent quality food.

Btw, Aka, I like your new avatar. What's that all about? I love soaps It's to annoy my celtic supporting 'friends' on here. Their supporters Liaison Officer wrote to them asking them to make sure they washed before coming to the match. Seemingly some of their ST holders approached him complaining about some people with really bad BO. True story and I'll supply a link (or lynx as we call it now) soon. |

Ah, right. It looks very pretty anyway

The main thing I like about Aldi and Lidl is you're not subjected to loads of marketing and special offers. The stuff is generally decent quality and very good value and that's it. There's no BOGOFs and prices don't go up and down each week. The checkouts are very fast and at the moment there's no self serve tills.
Aldi chocolate particularly good. |
|
By:
Nothing worse than smelly people.

Yes, love the chocolate!

Aged rib eye steak, the bacon which is better than Tesco etc extra special and is nearly half the price, Wagyu burgers are amazing, Venison burgers, the cheeses, Aldi chocolate got a mention but the Lidl Ecuadorian chocolate is brilliant.

I saw an ex-colleague in Aldi, a nice one, and said that all the classy people shop here. We chatted for a minute, and she gave me a free cuddle.
Two weeks later I saw another one in Farm Foods ( it's a small town ) and tried the same line - she looked very embarrassed, said something about getting cheap food for her dog, and dashed off, no cuddle. So Aldi is better. |
