It's also the end of the season with suppliers dumping stock. Did
you hear about Homebase's lacklustre performance today?

Heh, but Aldi doesn't dump stock like the sheds do.

No...but I'm sure you're going to tell us.

Aldi doesn't dump *excess* stock in the sense that they appear not to
over order.

I suspect that their procurement is a lot sharper than that of
Homedisgrace as well.

I am sure that these cheap deals are whatever they can get by the
containerload from PRC that has not been offloaded on some other
retailer.

It's still dumping, but at the wholesale rather than the retail point.

I very much doubt that it's snapping up offloaded stock - Poundland
yes, Aldi/Lidl no. If you approach the manufacturer of almost
anything and offer to buy x containers for delivery at date y you
are going to be able to negotiate a price way below the norm. Which
is not surprising since the supplier can run the line non-stop for
as many days as it takes and has got minimal admin.

(another German company I believe?).
