Don't they all do that ?

The product offering is poor. The shop layout is poor. The queues at the tills are longer because there's so few tills and as far as I can see it's not any cheaper. It's not even British.

I'd rather starve than eat any of the muck they sell. Only people with no pride shop there.

Bet you wouldn't....JM !
Their bakery products are not bad. The big super markets stock well known brands and their own version.... but they have the name of the supermarket on their version in large letters. Aldi have similarly named products as big brands and you can only see the Aldi name in very small type on the back of the pack. |

I'm surpried Leopard as an avid reader of the Daily Heil's femail section you don't have a copy of this in your kitchen, next to your avocado blemish grading chart:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4838518/FEMAIL-puts-copycats-test.html LURPAK, £3.25 FOR 500g VERSUS NORPAK (ALDI), £1.75 FOR 500g YOU SAVE: £1.50 per tub, or 46 per cent per 100g. OUR TEST: Lurpak is made in Denmark, while Norpak is from Ireland, where costs are cheaper. Aldi’s option has the same subtle taste, spreads thickly and melts on potatoes without the butter splitting — a common fault with cheaper brands. LURPAK , £3.25 FOR 500g NORPAK (ALDI) , £1.75 FOR 500g She also chose the budget version sandwich spread because of its health content over the branded version EXPERT VERDICT: Angela Dowden says: ‘The ingredients are identical — both contain 64 per cent butter and 26 per cent rapeseed oil, lactic cultures, water and salt.’ Aldi says: ‘Our customers want a simple experience when they visit our stores and we package our exclusive brands in such a way that they are easily recognisable to savvy British shoppers.’ WINNER: ‘Copycat’. |

I'm just bitterly disappointed to find out Norpak isn't made in Norway.

I thought that was North Pakistan

It does seem a strange name for an Irish product given it's got what appears to be a longboat on it and "Nor" whick makes you think of Norway. Maybe it's from Northern Ireland and the boat is full of sash wearing men with drums and it's sailing along the historical 12th of July route.

Well, how incredible is this?
I just got back to my, perhaps, once every three to four weeks shop at Aldi! The first time I went, it was a very strange experience, and somewhere after that I posted similar findings to the OP. However, further encouraged by my daughter (she uses Tesco delivery mainly) but Aldi for selected products. That's the way I roll now, as there are a fair number of ultra competitive items.... Greek yogurt (identical in appearance and taste to FAGE) and may even be such, is £1.39 with FAGE £1.00 more, so I get six tubs.... Incredible value on some wine with a South African Pinotage (13.5% abv) at £3.99 and a Spanish Merlot (13 % abv) at £3.69.... "Bockwurst" 8 Frankfurters in brine....twice the size of the miserable "Herta" ones and £1.29 Tomato Puree 0.33p (I paid 0.55p at Tesco, just yesterday) Same story with Passata.... Cereals, pretty much identical to the big names, and Muesli (superb) and biscuits, crisps etc a fraction of the price! Oh, and £3.29 for a 430G Salami Pizza..... Anyway better shut it now, as sounding like an advert (not forgetting Pure Orange Juice at 0.55p 1lt and soft drinks 0.42 2lt}.....  |

So Aldi, a german company, are using Ireland as a bridgehead into our economy usurping trusted brands,
the ultimate goal being to destroy them. After which they will then raise their prices to a similar level to Lurpaks. Fight them on the beaches ! |
|
By:
Lurpak are a Danish company? Ireland seems huge for dairy for all our supermarkets, all of them seem to source cheese from there. (I eat a lot of cheese and check the labels).

By:
No it sucks.
Adibas would be way better. |
|
By:
Then sorry, you are clearly not the most cattle.
|
|
By:
So I am the most cattle is basically another way of saying I don't follow the herd?

Surely there is a market opportunity for an Alcohol Free Beer under the name - "I can't believe it's not bitter"

Prince Phillip and his team of assassins ruined my first move into the Stationary business - Just before the crash I was about to launch a Princess of Wales ruler - under the marketing banner of "Straight as a Di".
TBF the stationary business came to a stand still soon afterwards. |

By:
Johnny_Mustang, please advise where is ok to shop as Aldi/Lidl are for the poor and Asda is for the gypsies, as you put it.
In fact, a full list of what type of people shop in all named supermarkets would be most welcome. I can select what is most apt and send the wife shopping safe in the knowledge she knows her place. |

By:
i send my Aileen shopping - when she agrees
 & as she is a Barrister; i can't wait to send her to Aldi for my beans |

if ever proof was needed

I think she has an NVQ level 2 - but no one has ever asked her to prove it.

Mouse - what price that Aileen is a Barrister?
And can I have $5 EACH WAY on she's a Barrista (That is an ultra double maximum steaks bet for me!) - I will take 7/2 BOG. And do her in an EW double with Lewis Hamilton for SPOTY (1/3 ODDS 1,2,3) please. |

I'm afraid I don't take multiples on either Frankie or Aileen.
