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

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.

Aldi are usually cheaper than Tesco, sometimes by a lot.
