Better than the expensive ****e you get from Asda, and I've never had
anything from Tesco's that I've liked, except beer when it's on offer and
this is the only time I go there.
Aldi do good fresh meat and veg, and their tinned and bottled goods are
better and cheaper than any of the major supermarket's own brands, the only
drawback is it's absolutely packed out every weekend and you will queue at
peak times, also you might not get a parking space close by

Only the poor people used to go to Aldi, but now there are Mercedes and
Beamers parked in ours, so as usual the rich catch onto where to save
money. Lidl can also have some good bargains, even on non generic food.
On the plus side, actually 2 pluses, Aldi check outs are like greased
lightening, also go with your wife, they both have very good DIY offers
from time to time. I get their emails, which come in twice a week so you
can decide if you would like to assist your wife with her shopping!

mostly have huge barcodes everywhere which I guess helps with the speedy

Pretty good depending on what you buy. Some of the Lidls do absolutely
fantastic continental breakfast pastries cooked on the premises. Way
better than anything you can get in *any* UK supermarket.

They have also been known to have some pretty incredible computer
bargains of Medion kit that is amenable to Hackintosh treatment. You can
tell when there is a queue of hairy unwashed computer geeks hanging
about outside one at 7.45 in the morning (ISTR Thursdays).

Yes I have bought one. Works fine. (although as a Windows machine)
Latest models are not quite so good for this.

Some of their always ready NiMH batteries are well worth it too.

No problems but you need to watch the prices. They are big on "loss leaders"
& everything else is no cheaper or even more expensive. The loss leaders
are the ones you see on the TV.

The best thing Mrs Pounder can do is check prices on the internet if she is
on an economy drive.
& note them down, sometimes they are different when you get there.

Take a flask. Aldi is a basic warehouse style shop. They don't put price
stickers on stuff in order to save money. The price is on a label
somewhere near the item, and if you want to be sure, make certain that
you check that the name on the label *exactly* matches the item you pick up.

You *might* be lucky and find a pub nearby that sells coffee...

The idea is you just put your stuff back in the trolley as fast as it
comes through and move over to the shelf opposite to sort out putting it
in bags.

Taking longer than that so you delay other shoppers is just being selfish.

Apart from meat and similar stuff in trays, the only time you find
individual priced items in any main supermarket now is when they're
being sold off on yellow or red labels.

Buy whatever you like at Aldi - but don't put it in your mouth.

The tools are OK but the ones sold at Lidl are better. The breakfast
cereals sold at Aldi are minging. The meat is very poor quality and
expensive compared to Asda. Lidl are slightly cheaper across the range but
still poor value for fresh items. Still, given you're a mock northerner,
you'd be content with a meal of dead dog in a trough garnished with baked
beans. So go for it.

Don't have an Aldi near by, but do have Lidl. And I'd agree their fresh
stuff is poor. Salad etc stuff not as fresh as the other supermarkets. So
I'd not use it for a one stop shop.
But their houshold materials etc are good value. Some basic cheeses too.
Biscuits. And go elsewhere for fresh stuff. Like the local market if you
have one.

The Strawberry Crunch cereal is my absolute favourite.

I couldn't shop for everything at Aldi / Lidl but always go about once a
fornight to get some items that are either excellent value - or known to be
a good taste. Potato Wedges, Red Wine. (Not cheese or bread). Always good
to see the everchanging range of hardware / DIY stuff.

Possibly.

I'm old enough to remember the excitement when supermarkets announced
they'd be giving away plastics carrier bags. As many as you wanted!

But a few years ago on a trip to France where there were no free bags, I
splashed out a euro on a sturdy carrier bag with a flat base. I
immediately realised that free supermarket carrier bags are actually a
pain in the arse. They're a pain to fill, a pain to carry, and they
empty themselves when put down. A few decent large bags for less than
50p each work so much better.

At least I never feel I'm having the **** taken out of me in Lidls,
unlike Salisbury whose underhand attempts to fool you into buying stuff
with complicated discounts, Nectar points etc just get on my nerves.

The express Aldi/Lidl checkout where stuff ends up on the floor if you
don't quickly put it back in your trolley is an obvious way to keep
prices down. Contrast that with Waitrose where the checkout girls
actually wait until you've positioned each item precisely in your chosen
bag. A very leisurely process for staff and customers but hugely expensive

Firstly, Tim, could you sort your newsreader to do quotes in the accepted

Secondly, Lidl doesn't just do own brand stuff.

Suppose I like ASDA own brand? Can I buy that in Tesco? Stupid point, but

I keep a trickle of supermarket bags coming into the house precisely

and are leaving lots of bigger, nicer bags that I can use instead for

Mrs Pounder sez she is spending too much money feeding me and is
going to Aldi tomorrow. She usually feeds me from Asda or Tesco
etc.... Is Aldi food ****e or is it okay?


It varies, some of it is perfectly acceptable, and some of it is
rubbish that you wont buy again.

How is that different from ASDA or Tesco?


In Asda or Tesco, if you don't like a particular brand of something you
try the brand next to it

In Lidl/Aldi, if you don't like the no-name brand on offer you have to
go to a different shop for that item

Firstly, Tim, could you sort your newsreader to do quotes in the accepted
way?

Nope.

You want it to work, complain to Microsoft. It was them that removed the
functionality

Buy whatever you like at Aldi - but don't put it in your mouth.

The tools are OK but the ones sold at Lidl are better. The breakfast
cereals sold at Aldi are minging. The meat is very poor quality and
expensive compared to Asda. Lidl are slightly cheaper across the range but
still poor value for fresh items. Still, given you're a mock northerner,
you'd be content with a meal of dead dog in a trough garnished with baked
beans. So go for it.

You wouldn't still be miffed about their cheap olive oil would you?

Trust me! The one thing that you don't want to do is buy cheap olive oil
(unless it's for ear drops)
