I love Aldi (And Lidl) The great thing about the lack of choice means the supermarkets are small so its quick and easy to do your whole shop. Its like Costco wi

  > its quick and easy to do your whole shop You can't do your whole shop because it's a lottery what they'll be stocking that day. They seem to just stock whatever was cheap at the time, which always makes me think someone else was trying to get rid of it for some reason. It's all random junk with no system or logic behind the range at all. Not stocking apples today, but they have a huge range of pneumatic power tools for some reason, is a typical experience. At least that's my experience of my local Aldi.

    Yes, these Lidl/Aldi stores are just the old wholesale market evolved. They buy large ammount of product (whatever is cheap), split up and sell all over the world. This is why there might not be any apples but ten different sorts of paper, sunchairs and pneumatic drills.

  You can't love Aldi and Lidl at the same time - that is not allowed. You have to choose which you love. Of course, you can still occasionally visit the other but only while bearing a subtle smirk of contempt. Like Star Wars and Star Trek or Lego and Playmobil. I'm proudly follow Aldi now in the third generation.
