Ha Ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I've never been in an Aldi or Lidl. Are they worth visiting if I can find one?

[goldencup]

Yes, definitely worth visiting.  But they look strange at first - you have to go a few times to get used to them.

What we talking about!?

[loulou]

Aldi and Lidl.

scotland full of them, it mainly all German stuff, but there do have very nice meat. farmfoods for forzen food!
Waitrose are alright nothing great. but still to costly I have been inside in Edinburgh I believe there two:

* down from the Western general H
* Camron toll shopping central

somerfield now being owned by Co -op. this will make our Somerfield in local shopping central under control by 5 party and its BADLY needs a refit! ( really it needs it its like the 1985 when it opened:

Pestro:
Safeway
Morrison
Somerfiled
Co-op

I believe there tesco in midlands some where never been refited

Tesco in Walsall was like that for years 623. It still had late 1970s signage inside; it was almost like a museum. It was finally redone as a Tesco Metro about two years ago.

The reason so many Somerfield stores look so tatty is because they are old Kwik Save stores that were hastily converted without a proper refit. Now that the Co-Op have taken over they'll all be refitted as the Somerfield brand is going altogether.

My Local Somerfield ( in the shopping central ) was never a kwick save,

[smurfboy]

Hmm... maybe it was just always a tathole then!

ISn't it still 1982 in Walsall

[smurfboy]

I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised.

I heard Nottingham is in the Dark Ages still.

[bounty hunter]

Only in the caves. 

[kevvosa]

Well I went in Waitrose and it seemed ok but more like a smaller version of M&S. I didn't buy anything.

Speaking of Aldi and Lidl, Aldi is deffo the best, their Moser Roth chocolate range is lovely, especially the dark choc with orange and almonds. Lidl I find can be rather poor or standard quality.

What do you think of Tesco introducing all these discount brands that are normally found in Lidl and Aldi? I presume they're trying to appeal to their market, but personally if I'm going to shop in Tesco and need to save a few pennies I'll buy Tesco own brand rather than a no-name.
