I love ALDI. I would be more of a regular here if I drive, but unfortunately it’s not within walking distance to justify more frequent trips. However, whenever I make a visit I always end up leaving with a smile on my face. I’m a massively frugal person who doesn’t like spending extra money on the same product, so when I walk out of ALDI with a week’s worth of groceries for roundabout £10, I’m one happy camper. Atmosphere: The only major downside. The layout of ALDI is always a bit cramped, squeezed, and generally not the most pleasant of shopping experiences. Rather than the typical supermarket layouts of wide aisles and plenty of room to maneuver, you might find yourself twisting and turning your body to avoid the loads of other shoppers. Products: Another great thing about ALDI is that they always have a bunch of random international goodies hard to find in other supermarkets. Aside from that, even if you’re fond of the familiar, they provide that as well. Meat prices are dirt cheap(a packet of chicken thighs went for a whole £4 cheaper than what I normally pay for at Morrison’s!) with good quality cuts as well. Like I said, I always walk out with a massive haul and I’ve always spent pennies for it. The only bone I have to pick with ALDI is that unfortunately they haven’t gotten on that online shopping /delivery bandwagon, which is disappointing because since this place is a bit far away from me. I would love to be a regular!
