ASldi Lost your crown As the cheapest supermarket of the UK, many Independent The readers were in a hurry to praise their nearest rival, seen as the new budget champion with Lydal.
Many commentators highlighted how deep exemption, especially on fresh food close to finish, allowed loving shopkeepers to stock up their freezer for a fraction of the price. “This is where the real savings are,” one said.
Others praised Lydal’s direct offer – from “better” fruits and vegetarian to reliable low prices on staples.
Still, there was a catch. While the speed of checkout was seen as a bonus by many people, others found a short-checkout machines and customer service lack.
However, some shopkeepers took a more selective approach. “I get the best from each,” one wrote, stating how they added LIDL, Aldi and Farmfoods to the same journey.
Overall, the feeling was clear: Lidl is doing something rightWhat did you say here:
Lidl discount makes a difference
Scheme Geyser here … what is not doing is that the lidal will knock 20 percent, then 50 percent, away from the prices of its fresh food, one will be able to stock the freezer for a fraction of the prices charged in ASDA, Tesco and Sensbury.
My local Sainsbury also reduces the item by 50 percent, but it is very hit and misses what time they will do, and it is the manager-dependent (one of them is highly tight).

I can’t bother with huge supermarkets
We do all our shopping in co-op. They have excellent brands and members discounts. If you spend in an in-store in a certain amount, the petrol station gives you one liter to 10p to 10p.
I cannot be disturbed by giant supermarkets – thirty is more for life than wasting one afternoon between different types of baked beans or toilets paper.

the best of both worlds
With both Lidl and Sainsbury in my city – there is almost side, so comparison is easy – and with both discount cards, I get the best of both the world.
The vegetarian of Lidl seems to be more plasticized and packed. Each weighed stalk of the broccoli is vacuum-pack, while the sensber is fresh from the crate, and you choose your size.
However, most of the mentioning, this is that Lidl always makes sense, and the business of their high employees should give some negative indications.
Branded products are usually more expensive by sainsbury and sometimes more expensive. I am lucky to have time to take and mix me, but I always realize that the fresh meat of the sensberry and my own label is more likely to be British than the lidal.

Selective cum-up shopkeeper
It is a terrible very dependent on what you buy. While co-op can be expensive, its member’s prices and offers are generally very competitive. I shop for some things there, but I am very selective about what I buy.

Free market at work
The free market is working well, except where the supermarket has caught more sites. But overall, if you live in a suburb, you will have a large range of food reserves.
Locally, I have received an aldi, and for a wide range of objects, I get Tesco delivery-I live in the second floor flat without a lift, so it is a good bonus to reach the door.

Good for diversity
Lydl and Eldi are very high so far, as far as cost is concerned. With most accessories, however, the quality of Aldi is better. However, some LIDL items are of better quality.
Therefore, I mostly shop for Eldi; Sometimes do shopping in Lydal, but also – because they are nearby – also fall in Tesco and Sensbari. If I feel posh and flush, I go to Veterose. All is good for diversity, clearly.

The decisive factor is car parking
The price difference between Lidl and Aldi is so small – and their difference in waitroes is so big – it doesn’t matter whether you shop in LIDL or Aldi or not. I shop in both.
For me, the decisive factor is car parking. In Milton Keins, the Aldi Car Park is a huge retail center car park. The lidal car is next to the park store and even the additional space between cars so that you can easily access and open your car door.

Lydal drops me
When Lydal dropped his filled Croisain and took out his bread slicing machine, he also dropped me. I used to drive additional 15 minutes for both (and the rest of my grocery accessories). But, not now.

Processed
I live in a small town in France with five independent biological food stores, a couple of times-weekly markets where many stalls are local farmers and local producers selling local producers. I have realized that the UK residents often do not realize how processed and unhealthy their food is – and how much they are ‘marketed’ as a consumer of TAT.

Huge lidal fan
Checkout in LIDL is easy; I just swipe everything in the trolley and pack it in the car. Do not hold those people behind you – it’s unfair.
I am a very big lidal fan. I think Eldi is pretending a bit, as if it can happen anytime. In addition, we have got a new Lidl just 15 minutes away from our rural place.
Fruits and vegetarians are a better quality offered by large supermarkets, and the cost is low.
I rarely buy anything from the middle, though. I see to see what is on the offer, but sometimes in addition to the cuddly toy, I never see anything that I really want.
Yes, I am a lidal fan. Food warehouse also (have you seen their crisp selection?).

I’m not a fan of anyone
Fruit and vegetarian quality is very different from the place -as well as separate shops. I think the best fruit and vegetarian (with me) is in Aldi, Morrison and Sensbari … but that does not mean that it is the same everywhere. A lot of days depend on time and what is left on the shelves …
I am not a fan of any supermarket, but do not say that I do not use them.

I choose the best from each
I have both Lidl and Aldi in my nearest city and I like both. Lidl for coffee, ice cream, high fruit ratio protection, chocolate, kit food, olive oil.
The Fruits and Vegetarians of Aldi are better and live longer. I like citrus flatbreds (frozen pizza), bread (lidal seeded loaf mashi), meat, flavored mayo and dog treats.
Farmfoods are beyond the road from my lidal, so I get all my frozen fruits and vegetables from there, as well as a super range of delicious sauce like sweet chilli for my stir fries, kebab shop style chili and mint, sweet garlic sauce – for about £ 1. And their frozen curries are cute with a huge piece of real meat.
When I shop every three weeks, it takes age because I go to all three shops for different things. I choose the best from each.

Lidl staples are always in stock
I go to Lydal because it is with me. What I like is that they have the same limit of staple throughout the year. So if you buy some similar things every week, it is a bonus. Not like some supermarkets that leave some lines after a few weeks. “They were here last week” comes to mind.
