Taa 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 |

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. (also found at Lidl) -- Regards, Martin Brown |

And I can now vouch that the Aldi fresh quarter pounders at £2 for four are excellent, having just had two for my tea, on Aldi's own white burger buns, one with cheese, both with lettuce, onion,mayo and tomato. Quite stumpy, thick burgers, little fat comes out, retain their shape well and quite moist when cooked, they are lightly seasoned with herbs and are over 90% beef, gonna get some more next week |

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. |

When I did monthly shops in Aldidl, I would put a couple of banana boxes (sleeved fashion) in the bottom of the trolley. Come checkout time, the stuff would be piled back into the boxes and the surplus bunged on top for bagging at the car. Two full banana boxes hold a surprising amount of stuff, making it easy to simply lift and drop into the rear hatch/boot. |

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. |

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. |

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. -- Mike Barnes |

I hate waste plastic as much as the next man but as we have to store rubbish for up to two weeks in our wheely bin, I'm not putting it in there unbagged so supermarket carrier bags aren't entirely wasted. How many people are using reusable shopping bags but buying more bin bags? Tim Tim |

So a check over the last few weeks shows each carrier bag gets reused 2 - 3 times for shopping, before becoming the kitchen bin-liner. The only bag which was thrown away was one which was used 4 times and something cut a long slit in it, making it unusable as a bin- liner. So I'm now quite happy that the bag wastage in this household is nothing, the only one having been thrown away due to being reused too many times before becoming the bin liner. The kitchen bin came from Woolworths many (10?) years ago, and is a pedal bin which is designed to use carrier bags as bin liners, so I never buy bin liners. We have a little cubby-hole (meant to take a wine bottle) into which the plastic bags get stuffed, and fished out when going shopping or when needing a bin-liner. When it's almost empty, you don't take any for shopping, and that's how equalibrium is maintained. It's worked very well since buying the kitchen bin designed to take plastic bags as bin-liners, and we've never needed to buy bin-liners. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

Mine get used for months and then the wear on them inside the panniers borks them, but these are the heavier ones (not 'bag for life' - they're too bulky). My bags are sourced from my neighbour's shed as she always forgets to take any, so my actual take of new bags is limited to 2 or 3 a year. So I'm now quite happy that the bag wastage in this household is nothing, the only one having been thrown away due to being reused too many times before becoming the bin liner. I don't use a bin-liner as nothing messy (on the outside) ever goes in the bin. The kitchen bin came from Woolworths many (10?) years ago, and is a pedal bin which is designed to use carrier bags as bin liners, so I never buy bin liners. Mine is a large plastic waste-bin, 99p from a local garage and just on the limit for getting the bottom quarter into a large pannier and strapping it in. Had it about 20 years. (your bid). We have a little cubby-hole (meant to take a wine bottle) into which the plastic bags get stuffed, and fished out when going shopping or when needing a bin-liner.

It's worked very well since buying the kitchen bin designed to take plastic bags as bin-liners, and we've never needed to buy bin-liners. Yup, a little bit of management and bags 'rattling down' the system produces very little waste. -- Peter. The gods will stay away whilst religions hold sway |

Mrs Pounder would not tolerate such behaviour! The food will be OK, don't worry. You DO like wurst and garlic? I have worked as a contractor in several abattoirs and have seen some very unpleasant things. I have also seen the boxes labelled as --- Tesco, Sainsburys, Waitrose, Asda, M&S etc. The meat all comes from the same place. Bread is just the same. Potato crisps are as above. Nu- Look clothes are made in Viet Nam It is all a scam. |
