one thing that Lidl do that's a really good thing is reducing things that are getting close to their sell-by date by 30%. Some of the stuff, usually meat or fish, is 2 or 3 days short of it's sell-by date so still in good condition. A much better thing than letting it go virtually rotten at full price and then chucking it out like other supermarkets do

Had family here for lunch today.
I knew I could get everything I didn't already have, from the nearby "Tesco Express", but reasoned that I needed some other stuff for the week, and it will be cheaper at Aldi anyway! Didn't want to leave it till 10:00 am opening today so went to Aldi at 14:00 yesterday. What a ****ing nightmare. Firstly trying to park in minute spaces with no room to "swing into a bay when there was one, because of entry lanes too narrow for two cars to pass and ..... got inside and it was like shopping on Xmas eve! Complete stand off in the narrow aisles, not helped by two assistants with massive "pump up" loads blocking two thirds of the aisles. Struggled to the fruit and veg and wanted Passion Fruit. They don't do them. Wanted mixed peppers and they only had red ones! By now I've almost had it. No Pepperoni and, ridiculously, German Salami costing half as much again as I am currently paying at Tesco Express. I had picked up some Bockwurst that are fantastic and Brioche Rolls for other days. Bottom line, what was the point, as I was going to have to go somewhere else anyway, so I emptied my trolley and went to Tesco. Got everything I wanted, including packs of three red, yellow, and green peppers for 99p (including the biggest red pepper I have seen for ages). All of that and a tasteful birthday card, of which, none at Aldi! Oh, and three ripe Avocados, reduced to 85p each, and just ready for eating today. So, the menu was Avocado Vinaigrette, Pizzas, made in my new superb Italian Pizza Oven, and Pavlova with Strawberries, Kiwi Fruit and Blueberries. Will only ever go to Aldi again during the week, and only for stuff that they are good at, such as matured steaks, same as brands cereal and biscuits, and those fabulous "Bockwurst" sausages! Oh and 1.5kg bags of frozen chips for £1.00, and some vino. |

You sound female and a snob but not fooling me.
The aisles at aldi narrow ??!??! Aldi is a food shop, they sell avocados, peppers but not birthday cards. Buy fresh food from tescos and watch it rot, all within a day. |

A bit of an antagonistic response from you there! You sound like you are brainwashed! Whatever you say "The aisles are narrow". "Fresh food from Tesco rots within a day"... that is a ridiculous statement and based on what? "Aldi is a food shop".... is that why they sell tool kits, and boxer shorts, and Christ knows what else, but only red peppers and no Passion Fruit, and not going to repeat myself any more! I've given them a fair trial (four visits) and have been complimentary on certain levels but, as for "Britain's Favourite Supermarket", see my analysis previously! |

Diva, of all the people on here, I think that you "know me" more than most, and I haven't totally given up on them, but it will be a selective,
and weekday endeavour. I really do think that they need to reconsider the use of these warehouse types of equipment, that allow for only the passage of one person at a time, in any direction, with opposite flow totally blocked and, where any shopper is paused at a display, holding up everyone else. |

Sonko....some people would argue over anything it seems!
Calling someone a snob, and then deriding everything that person has said, is hardly help or friendly banter. You weren't there...I was! You say they are a food shop and don't sell birthday cards. Well I already knew that which, is why I was resigned to go back to Tesco. But then you don't like me pointing out they are not just a food shop. I don't give a flying (what you said) but was merely pointing out that they are not just a food shop. The main issue was they didn't have the food products that I wanted ( I did ask btw)! The killer was trying to get anywhere, with pallets on jack up warehouse trolleys, when the place was too busy for them. I never ever saw that in any other supermarket, and it would have been much more efficient for them to bring out produce, with smaller equipment, as they couldn't move either. |
