Lidl / Aldi

[Mr Kobayashi]

Victor Value were owned by Tesco back in the day, Bookers and Premier shop's are also part of the Tesco group today.

Plus One Stop. Although neither One Stop and Premier offer value.

It Doesnt Have To Be This Way!


As mentioned @post 60, I only wish their advertising blurb did what it said on the tin.
After much angst we have now decided to do our main shop at Tescos and where appropriate will use Tesco own brands alongside mainstream brands. Certain products obviously demand branded such as HP sauce, KP dry roasted nuts, Baileys, Ready Brek and Tommy sauce etc.

The tin of bullets on display below have no place in any modern civilised setting and have just ruined or pudding chip and pea supper. We have 5 tins left and the other 4 are going straight in the bin. False economy. Its not every product, but a lot of their suppliers in the current climate are now cutting corners with their Q.C and frankly it's us the end users that suffer.

Our main shop will be Tesco, but we will call into Aldi for their tonic water. Tesco Aldi price match their mince and chicken which we eat with abandonement. The only reason we dont get tonic water from Tesco is the ridiculous price of Shwweppes tonic who seem to think they are the reincarnation of Fentiman. Aldis tonic is acceptable and only 55p a bottle. When Shwweppes is a £1 a bottle we buy in bulk. We dont buy into the fentman fevertree dream as they are tickling the consumer into financial ruin.

Other Aldi products that should be reported to trading standards are Brookland rice with the consitancy of pish, Aldi cream crackers that taste like dust, copy cat sheldon T- Cakes, all of Holly Lane cake factorys nasty Mcnasty offerings, especially the apple pies without the apple. Most of their own brand fisherman frozen catch tat, and also the bread which I wouldnt feed to a dieting duck.

Good Aldi produces are the beers wines and spirits (not all) their mince, chicken, meat and steak are par for the course, their tonic water and their Dr pepper rip of is especially pleasing to the palate. Free range eggs are nice but is an egg not an egg as I've yet to identify an Aldi chicken in the wild. Same with the milk that comes from a cow.
It's frustrating and just not worth the effort anymore. That is all:

Don't bin the tins 2GB, give them to the food bank. There should be a section near the entrance of the supermarket. Someone will probably be glad of them.

I live in what would probably be described as a nice small town. There was uproar when the aldi plans got the go ahead. Opinions that it would drag down the area …

Its packed every single day

There's an Aldi in Didsbury (actual proper Didsbury and not Withington or Burnage) and Poynton.
