Wouldn't go near a Lidl for a few years due to beggars, tramps and, being snobbish, the type of clientele. Cant fault anything we now buy there now. Not been near a Tescos or Asda for ages. Still not sure about Aldi.

TVs, clothes, food, booze and babysitters.
My first VHS video recorder in 1977 was £575....probably over £2500 in today's money.
They were selling them new in Tesco's around ten years ago for £40.
Colour TV's in 1973 were £175. CRT in an old fashioned wooden cabinet...21/23" ....around £1500 in today's money.
Flat screen 50" today about £400.........
All monetary amounts approx., but you get the idea.

Never been in an Aldi. Every time I drive past my local one there appears to be a load of grey tracksuits surrounding loads of prams filled with fat kids all smoking.

Two of us here and we do about £120 to £150 a month in food shopping, and I'd like to think we eat pretty well
ha ha fotgot about farm foods. quality in there. only get bits but yeh good shout.
Most of the time I'll actually go out of my way to go to Tesco or morrisons over Sainsbury's. I just find I buy around the same stuff from there but end up paying shit loads more . Their homeware section is good though. I also find its full of twats that think they're above it and posh just because they shop there . Waitrose must be awful !.
Haven't given aldi much of a go as I don't eat meat and always assumed their meat substitute variety is pretty low ?.

My favourite is the Toro Loco Tempranillo. Less than £4. Lovely
Think I've tried that. Their Bordeaux is good too. I also like their Prosecco, Belletti I think it's called. Yellow label. Very nice.
Their cooked meats section is far more interesting than the mainstream supermarkets. They've up their game of late in terms of quality.
