Why do the media insist on calling Aldi a discount store? I've never

bamboozle you with BOGOF deals, loyalty cards and all that rubbish. In

commonsense to their strategy.
The late Andy Hall must be turning in his grave, having predicted that
the Lidl/Aldi style of retailing would never catch on.


It's not a discount supermarket. It's a budget supermarket.


Only half true these days, the "quality" food and wine compares well
with the big players.
