Here is the promised update.

The chicken cost a fiver, has fed 3 people and the ferking dog. Nobody
could tell the difference between the Aldi chicken and the Marks & Sparks
chicken. The dog was not questioned.

Supermarket chicken is the same wherever you buy it. All the taste is
taken out because it has been injected with water to bulk it out. To get
anything better you have to buy if from a source that doesn't do that (and
good luck!).

The chocolate ice lolly things are the same as Cadburys; or so Mrs Pounder
has informed me.

I bet they are not. I've never bought Aldi ones, but the ones that they
sell in Iceland (which seems to source some of its own brands from the
same supplier) are definitely inferior - though still acceptable

Well you'd lose your bet. In any case how can you decide what's best or
worse if you never buy it?


The biscuits are indistinguishable from any other brand of biscuits.

I buy "value" biccies in Tesco. 25p a pack against 1-1.50 for the bands.
And you can't tell the difference.


I regularly use Lidl. Their food mostly unknowns and packaged specially for
them beats Aldi mostly. each to their own I say.
