“I use Waitrose and Ocado for good reasons – reputation and home delivery. And I pay for the privilege.
No disrespect to Aldi or their customers but if I wanted their products I’d go to one of their stores.” The point you seem to be missing, old son, is that they are the same product! |

By:
Aye, too dim to realise Waitrose and Aldi use the same supplier. Gawd help us.

The good thing about Waitrose is the lack of children running around.

Waitrose, the company that was itself conned into believing that some Chocolate Ducklings, made by machines in a factory production line, were "WAAAAAYYYYYYYCIST".
You see, some person (sanity status unknown) had complained about them, and so naturally these products had to be stripped from the shelves lest the sky fell in. Common sense didn't get a look in. Yes, THIS REALLY HAPPENED. . https://uk.style.yahoo.com/waitrose-pulls-racist-easter-ducklings-shelves-084818691.html |

I can imagine a Catherine Tate "Posh People" sketch, like when she ruined the sports day "Egg & Spoon" race by yelling out
"STOPPP, THEY'RE NOT ORGANIC!! Then the kids, and parents, made a dash for the line of black BMW X5s!!! |

I've long suspected that Aldi get their (same) produce further down the line from the suppliers ... i only say this as i find Aldi's fresh veggies to tend to go rancid a lot quicker than Waitrose's /Sainbury's so it's a case of eating pretty much straight away .
I think it's also obvious that you pay a hefty premium to shop in Waitrose as it is generally free of noise'/hulabaloo/trolleys ramming into you and most importantly SPACE to move around . As for home delivery ,Aldi don't deliver ...HD is supposed to be costing the companies money  |

i never buy supermarket meat
local butcher and fishmonger for me, traceable. |
|
By:
 Good Move ,and any butcher that is still in business is still there for a reason ....... |
|
By:
Don't be so sure. There is a very popular "proper butchers shop" near me. A couple of years ago, I saw him in Tesco loading up his trolley with half-price legs of lamb.............

By:
meat/eggs fish etc i believe is where the supermarkets do have their own suppliers be it good or bad .
The free range eggs in Aldi come from a supplier who also supply them with caged eggs ...hmmm yeah exactly. I have never seen caged eggs in Sainsburys or Waitrose |

If you think that that flaming Christmas pud in the advert can serve all those people then you certainly have been conned.

these are all spiv lies - from use common pheasants who wouldn't no what quality was and need putting in your plaice
now go back to your mud huts guinea fowl anyone? |

By:
Veggies from Lidl are definitely not as fresh as those from Waitrose, Sainsbury or even Tesco - that's fact - but their bakery no frill section is certainly better than Sainsbury and Tesco; there is no Aldi near me thus no idea how they'd compare.
I love the panettone from Waitrose (I bought two at 1/2 price for £10); Sainsbury is ok but too sweet for my liking. |

if your nearest store is an ALDI then i 'd say use it but know the score ...buy veg just before consuming ...check dates are well in advance ...and know the lines .... there is some really good quality in store ,but you have to try/buy to find out ....Sainsburys is similar in that some stuff is first class other items are very poor .
I generally find the discount stores a bit dreary though, and busy ...i'm thankful i have a mini sainsbury's on my doorstep ...saves a lot of aggro |
