I give up ....so off to Aldi I will go

I am sick of reading about Lidl and Aldi and what a great place to shop with fantastic prices that will save me a shed load of money.

 

Therefore, for the first time ever I am planning my first visit to one of these German wonderlands in the next week. After a quick check to find the closest it turned out to be an Aldi and with no car it would mean a bus journey and if I was happy and spent a penny or two a taxi home. Consequently, any savings I could make will be eaten away on transport costs but I would have this wonderful experience.

 

So what am I expecting? Lots of free food! I ever much doubt it but cheap prices hopefully and on food I like to buy. They carry fewer lines than Tesco, Asda or Sainsbury the big three in supermarket shopping but on a par with the there smaller stores.

 

I have also read it is now a mecca for the middle classes with items like fresh gnocchi and tagliatelle, Scottish mussels, crayfish tails, wafer-thin Parma ham, slabs of holey Emmental cheese and a bottle of Prosecco, all of which can be on their shopping list at a cheaper cost. None of which are on my shopping list. They turn up with their M&S or Waitrose bag for life to camouflaging their true shopping destination there is no home delivery and on checking out their website, it was piss poor.
