I was in today and filled a basket full for 40 quid and thats with 3 bottles of plonk. In sodding tescos I get half as much for that money

Good products, less choice (which is great) in and out in 10 minutes, fast check outs, value, value value

brilliant

Shaun much of there food
goes through the Massive delivery service
of award winning Ocado.


Waitrose were trying to do a basic range
so Aldi undercut all of there deals
but in every range Top End or Basic

The Germam Aldi trackers
do a top job.

Fast checkouts? Seriously, where is this Aldi? Every one I've ever been in has like one marginally retarded 17 year old girl on one checkout and queue of people half way down the toilet roll aisle.

And TS your long queue
is because of all the former Waitrose shoppers
saving big cash


LT is in Scotland

Some Aldi have a special extra 5 section fast tills
that can spring into action fast

I dont want to talk, i want to pay and get out.

I don't shop in Aldi or Lidl because they do not stock everything I want / need. I'll shop there on occasion if I want some random East European thing that Sainsbury / Morrison's / Waitrose don't have.

Shopping at Morrison's right now as the quality of meat and fish is incredible, and they match Aldi and Lidl prices.
