The thread's been hijacked. Would not surprise me if they were disruptive and non-conducive to innovative changes at work or recreational societies.
Where I'm there's no Aldi, but quite a few Lidl at close proximity too. I love their Ritter Sports chocolate (dark and nutty ones); mixed peppers; high energy bread and chicken thighs - the rest I cannot comment on. Lidl seem to be frequented by largely foreigners buying excessively (possibly) induced by perceived low prices, I believe. |

Foreign people probably like LIDL as they are all over Europe and virtually identical, some local perishable produce like milk and cheese differs, and the "Cheaper!" will be the translated word in their homeland. They know what they will get. I've been in a Tesco abroad and while I'm a fan here I was a bit disappointed.
I was going to go into a Tesco in Saudi but a local stopped me and pointed across the street. "Supermarkets here my friend? There is none good but Asda!". |

ALDI is fine ,the range isn't great but SOME of the quality on offer in very good .
Just make sure anything fresh is consumed pretty much straight away as the 'fresh ' produce is about the same freshness i see in the reduced bin at Sainsbury's . Once you shop there a few times you become well versed with the good and not so . The brand names in the big stores are pretty awful these days..PG tip[s must be one of the worst about whereas you get a good packet of Yorkshire in ALDI for not a lot more . Be wary too if it's a w/known brand youre looking for as some of their their own labels look similar ...not sure how that's legal but there u go  |

I gave my kids a piece of advice when they went to uni & reminded them of it when they bought their first houses namely - don't get taken in by advertising, Branston beans are the best

Nothing wrong with Branston Beans . Spot on Lee
 Most Heinz products are now loaded with rapeseed oil , why is that ? |
|
By:
rapeseed oil in pretty much everything

Without a doubt the quality of most veg at Lidl eg broccoli, spring onion, lettuce, mushroom, etc, and flowers is inferior compare to the big supermarkets - they do not stay fresh fr long - but their bakery section is ok, I think; adequate nothing fancy, fresh and tasty; nuts are good value too. But, not sure about their coffee, cocoa, biscuits, tin or frozen food. Nevertheless, shoppers would still fill their trolleys with these products, households and personal hygiene stuff.

"Rapeseed oil" has now been put up for renaming as "Consensual-sex-seed oil" and will face a first reading in Parliament on July 30th 2019 after numerous complaints !

Honestly mate makes me very Ill , I have found other Sufferers online , most had be diagnosed as IBS, I wonder how many of the
IBS cases could be "Consensual-sex-seed oil" related .. Strangely It was being grown in a lot of fields near where I live , its the Bright Yellow Crop . airborne it does not cause a Problem Many people have been left with Brutal rashes after making contacting with it , I don't make a habit of walking in the fields TBH . |

Toxicity in Animals
There have been numerous anecdotal reports of domestic and wild animals, e.g. dogs, roe deer and rabbits, becoming unwell/dying after eating oilseed rape foliage and/or seeds. These anecdotal reports have been supported by a number of studies which have confirmed the oilseed rape crops are extremely toxic to animals both when grown in the field and after crushing into animal feed. Fooking ell I have not seen that before , Sorry for Hi jacking the thread , I will leave it now |

By:
Normally these plants would grow not in massive fields in a mono-crop so artificially causing them to do so is bound to produce problems.

Something which never ceases to amuse is the sight of the "shopping snobs" who load their trollies to the limit at Aldi, Asda or Lidl then carefully pack thier purchases into M&S or Waitrose carrier bags.
Happy to shop there but Heaven forbid that the neighbours realise  |

KC...I do the opposite...winds the till ladies at M and S up when I pack my food into Co-op carriers.

I'm about to go to Aldi now to buy A Chicken .
My Father bought a whole chicken there last week for £3 and it was delicious . While I'm there I'll also buy some other bits N Bob's. The only Supermarkets I can ever recall shopping in are Adsa, Aldi, Lidl, and Tesco . In my opinion , which is based not only on value , I place Aldi and Lidl above Asia and Tesco . |

Talking of oil seed rape, I was out in the countryside and kept thinking I smelled cabbage (my dad used to grow it and I know the smell fairly well).
Turns out oil seed rape was the source. Strange that, these fields of tall yellow flowers can smell like a *totally* different plant. If we didn't have oil seed rape we'd have to have something, it's a lot more enviromentally friendly I'm sure than palm oil or butter, I've no problem with it. (Apart from it's insidious and deliberately sneaky attempts to smell like a ground lying vegetable). |
|
By:
Well blow me down I'd have never thought that. Oilseed rape is in the brassicae family, the cabbage (and mustard) plant family.
That'll explain the smell I was getting, they look totally different I'd have thought they were light years apart genetically. |

The rape is more photogenic.

Stockwell beans from Tesco - 23p a tin are my current fave. They taste a lot like Branston used to, but aren't the mush that Branston now make
|

By:
I go to an Aldi store every Sunday but I don't buy much. Cheap pear cider, red spuds, their quiches are great imo, porridge oats, baked beans. That's about it really. I buy everything else from Asda's.

2 days ago I discovered Lidl is on a higher plane than Aldi and will change my shopping habits in light of this new info. They even have a bakery with proper bread not processed muck.
