They used to be a bit like that with poor lighting to boot, but at least the tills and staff were very fast and Waitrose Woman and Muddling Man stayed out of the places as they felt intimidated by the need to move items back into the trolley and do packing into their bags on the shelf provided. And where else could you nip in somewhere with a free car park to to buy something to eat and end up walking out with a welder, or as a mate of mine did while we helped move him into a house, Nipped out to Aldi to get us something to eat. “thought you’d want something hot” So he bought some pies etc and a Microwave to heat them with. Unfortunately they have gone up market as they have been discovered and the packing on the shelf habit is waning , I think they were at their best about 10 years ago when they stopped looking like shop in the third world and got some lighting and some shelves in but prices were still a bargain. Now with the latest refurbishments they look much like any other supermarket, unfortunately prices are not the bargain they once were though some of the offers of interesting bits can still be keenly priced. That the longer established names can beat them sometimes onitems is as much them having to match some of their prices to keep market share. If you haven’t ventured into an updated one you would not know but if you have and still think it looks like a distribution centre ask someone to look and see if they have some of their paint on offer and guide you to it, its quite good stuff and the most common colour is white . Buy some and paint a stick with it. GH |

Fair enough, its been a while since I've been in an Aldi but for some reason my wife insists on popping into Lidl "for a bargain" (it never is) and they still look just like that, plus you get the fat chav women from the local council estate wheezing themselves and their 5 kids down the isle and forming a mobile roadblock. |

Which is noticeably slower (for the till operator and the queue) than bunging it all back in the trolley and using the packing shelf. We used to not bother with bags at all, just pick up some of the cardboard packaging that was left in a cage in places, you had to pick carefully as some was not that strong but others were fine, fill them up on the packing shelf , wheel to car ,empty at home and tear up cardboard into smaller bits and put into the compost bin . Compost likes a bit of browner ,dry material to blend with the greener sloppy stuff and it was a convenient way to get some. Though we did it for convenience it was probably more environmentally friendly than using any style bags though to be honest we don’t visit any supermarket with any degree of regularity being in the fortunate position of still having access to several independent butchers, bakers and grocers and a decent county town market and a Milkman still delivers 3 times a week. The middle of lidl aisle sometimes has something useful on offer and it is when we visit to get something from that we stock up on items like flour,tinned fish and frozen fish and some other things. Also loo rolls and cleaning items like bleach but if you have room to store 25l containers the agricultural supply stores can often beat even lidl and aldi though the solutions will be unfamiliar names designed to clean and sterilise animal pen floors or milking equipment. Most need further dilution for house use which makes them even more economical. GH d |

I suspect that might be deliberate! Why? I don't see how it helps sales from either department, compared to other supermarkets which co-locate both departments? On one hand it means you are spending more time in the shop, and might pass something else which caches your eye; on the other hand your reason for comparing prices is to get the best possible deal, which means people who don't/can't are getting a less than best deal- so more profit for the shop. (See also Adsa, where I compare the various levels of own-brand and other-brand pre-prepared pizza with the adjacent freshly-prepared in-store pizza, but never with the frozen pizza about 3/4 of the store away. Of the shops I use, Sainsbury's has the biggest distance between its two kinds of pizza. The fresh ones are at the back towards the left of the deli counter, the frozen on the far right near the front. In Aldi the fresh pizza are 2/3 of the way back on the RHS of the first aisle on the left, and the frozen pizza are 2/3 of the way back on the LHS of the rightmost aisle. Their pizza are another good example of "getting what you pay for". With an extremely wide range of prices, you shouldn't expect the 79p examples to be as good as the Ł3.29 examples. But if you've only got a 79p budget, at least there's *something* you can buy. -- Roland Perry |
