I like the no nonsense approach of Lidl and Aldi.


its their no quality approach that leaves me cold.



Her indoors is of the opinion that quality is standard across all the
supermarkets, and prices are determined solely by the number of staff
standing about waiting to be helpful. In that respect I think
Sainsburys have too many chiefs and far too many Indians.
her indoors had to be told that yes, at Waitrose the price per
gram/100g/kilogram/sheet of bog paper is displayed below every item so
you can easily see that 'green' washing up liquid is 3 times as
expensive as green washing up liquid..so I wouln't trust her judgement
on anything.

"Oh look she said "They do instant coffee in bags to refill your jar"
"yes, but its more expensive than in the jar"...sigh.

And she still thinks that 30% off £4 is a bargain, whereas paying £2 is not.

I walked round LIDL and ALDI looking at basic stuff. It was all more
expensive than waitrose.
