Default OT Aldi Update

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.

The chocolate ice lolly things are the same as Cadburys; or so Mrs Pounder
has informed me.
The biscuits are indistinguishable from any other brand of biscuits.
The fruit juice is as good as any I have ever drank.
I was not too keen on the 4.5% lager. 4 cans for less than 3 quid. It was
too sweet for me.

More updates to follow as and when.



FWIW I am an ALDI fan, but I never buy cheap meats. The unfeasibly long
shelf life, the strange unnatural colours, the odd small selection of
identical cuts, and cheap meat has to mean compromised animal welfare.

The Aldi wine is excellent value - quaffable at £3.60, good at a fiver.
All the pasta, flour, juice, detergents, bog roll - excellent.
