Do you like Aldi?

This debate has come up here and there, but it's never been settled once and for all which is why I've started this thread.

I've recently realised that for some things, Aldi is just brilliant. I'd even say it's better than Asda, Morrisons, Tesco etc for a lot of things in terms of quality. They do some really good wine.

What do you make of Aldi?

I've never been to Aldi but I'm guessing the quality is akin to Asda Smartprice on a bad day.

I have never been to Aldi, all my shopping is delivered from Harrod's on a Friday.

You can't beat this at under four quid a bottle:

Aldi is ok to pick a few bits every now and again...

Never met Nat but I'm guessing she's akin to Mimi McGuire on a good day!!

I've never been to Aldi either, I know a couple of folk who do go and say it's fantastic.

Is it really that good or is it just a load of bollocks?

I've never been to Aldi, went to Netto in Breightmet once and it scarred me for life.

Never been in. Get everything delivered by Ocado. But I'm told some of the bottled beers are OK.

Aldi is brilliant! You will struggle to do a full shop there, but they have some great items, like their cooked meats and booze.

Aldi is fantastic

We go there for all our essentials like breads and milks

Halved our shopping bill aswell which was always a bonus

Only thing I don't buy from there things like ketchup and beans which have to be the good stuff

How much did you spend at your previous supermarket as apposed to Aldi?

Nosey bastard. 

Aldi is ok but we've got a Lidl near us, so I go there but not for a big shop.

The Toro Loco Zinfandel is nice as well. We do our main shop in Asda but we get quite a bit of stuff from Aldi and Lidl and it is much cheaper than Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose.

You lot need to more big shops to help the economy.

The Kooliburra wine is fantastic at £3.99 a bottle.

Going to Aldi in Ramsbottom on Saturday mornings is one of the highlights of the week for me. You meet lots of toffs in there wearing shades and scarves covering their faces to hide their embarrassment. Their cheese is cheap and good value- and their sliced ham is better than anyone else's.
