Aldi

Is the poem your sig I tried to quote it I quite like it

One thing that has put me off as said above are the queues. I normally only shop for a few things so it can be frustration to have 6 items in a large queue of people with stacked trolley's. Once I saw somebody with a trolley full of bread. I am sure that amount would not be for home consumption unless he had a very large family.

Aldi is only supermarket I've been in were people in front have told me to go Ahead of them as I've only got one or two items. This has happened more times than I can remember.

Shall have to try that. How many times could I go round before being told no?

[AyewJoking]

I'll see your Aldi and raise you an Iceland. better than that, cool trader

[Mack]

But I want to use bags!

 

You put the stuff in the bags at the back of  the shop AFTER you have paid!

Seems like they need to put up a set of written rules for those who cant grasp it!

[Captain...]

Better than my efforts.

 

I don't fancy a packet of Dandruffles either.

 

*Ahem* I said I don't fancy a packet of Dandruffles...

 

Oh forget it, you guys wouldn't know funny if it bit you on the arse.

 

Jo?

 

This gem deserves more credit too.

[Rincewind]

Was going today but was up to around on this ruddy forum so slept in till ten.

 

Are they open Sunday? Is there a cashpoint up there yet? Not sure if I had enough cash on me anyway.

 

[AoWW]

I've been toying with going for ages, but have an entirely irrational and unjustified fear that it will be a terrible experience that will end with me lashing out at people

 

It will, trust me. I tried and hated it. Plus you need cash, not a card, as I discovered to my cost!  

[AoWW]

I've never seen a thread with so little moaning. Might have to try this.

 

Pah, don't get me started. I could soon change all that!

[Webbo]

My wife reckons she bought something on her card there this wednesday.

 

PS Happy B'Day.

[The People's Hero]

Its credit cards you can't use. Debit cards are fine.

 

They don't put signs up to this effect and then you're laughed at for assuming you may be able to use what is an extremely widely accepted payment method.

Aldi sells chainsaws and flamethrowers. Winner.

[The Doctor]

Flamethrowers ey? I smell a barbeque opportunity.

Aldi is great for some basic veg (okay there isn't a great selection), and non-perishables (canned goods, and baking items). Some frozen items, but not all. Buying the chicken, inside a duck, inside a goose, inside an ostrich isn't exactly going to win you digestive points, and their frozen chickens, seem to have the skeletal brittles saved only for the likes of canned sardines. This is very very wrong, and you can expect that this chicken was bred to full size in four hours in a cave, covered in its own shite and the shite of the 80,000 chickines already filled with bready sage stuffing, and swimming in gravy.

 

I steer clear of the meat, as I've discovered that the use by dates on them can be exceedingly generous, and that's really fooking annoying when you've planned to eat it well within the stated date.

 

The cold meat from Germany is quite good though, and tastes like meat, and not hammy water slices.

 

Saving money is paramount with shopping, choosing to spread the shopping across the shops, and buying what's only necessary, and trying to avoid pre-made processed shite is difficult, but Aldi provides the basics, and with that all you need is recipe book to make it into something that tastes okay, and fills your gut, until the next feeding hour.

 

Tesco think they can now afford to charge premium prices now they own half of the market, yet more and more people are choosing to go elsewhere, as a week's worth of shopping is simply not tenable, even if you give 2p off a litre at the pump for spending over £50. The savings don't match up.

Strangely it's the only supermarket I've been to where that's not happened to me!

Ostrich ey? I'm guessing it tastes like chicken, everything else seems to.

 

 

Still, if you're buying meat then go to a butchers, not a supermarket: get far better stuff from a butchers.

It's happened more times than i can remember. I must have a friendly face.

Anybody been to a Home Bargains? Went to one at Boro away and it's the cheapest shop I've ever been to I'm sure with proper brands.

[Rincewind]

Whats that one on Belgrave Gate/Haynarket Farnfoods? Some cheap stuff in there

[Webbo]

We got these from Aldis free with some chocolate dipping sticks;

Are these racist?

3 ply scented Nicky toilet roll - 18 for £3.99 (best ever bog roll ever), I also get my pesto, fag papers, tooth paste, chilli/garlic/ginger marinades, butter beans and chickpeas from there.

 

B&M is also a good shop for bargains, £1.29 for 4 tins of C&B baked beans and they do some very nice named ales at very good prices.
