Used to go to Tesco in Woolwich but it now appears to be a clothing store/ethnic food wholesaler based on my last visit, so now we go Sainsbuys in Charlton.
I went to Aldi last Friday to purchase some 'Award' winning champagne. While I was in there I decided to purchase a few items to try them out.
Anyway, my findings are as follows:
Food/Drink Purchased Champagne = OK - good value for £10 Salmon Fillets = Very Good Sausages = Again, very good and a lot cheaper and better tasting than the big supermarkets Pastries = OK
Shop Aldi's sell some really random items. For example, next to the dairy counter they had some mobile welding units for sale..??
Customers Wow - some really interesting people in there.............(least of all, me)
Conclusion Good value but do not stock enough items for a full weekly shop (Unless you need that last minute mobile welding unit that is)
I think where you shop says a lot about your social class. My nearest supermarket is a Waitrose which is clean and good, but ridiculously expensive. You really notice the difference when you visit a Lidl or an Asda, especially at the till.

Gotta say, Aldi's top end range sausages (£1.75 for 6) are really very very good, especially for the price. Some of the other things are good too.
M & S, Coop and for a big shop Sainsburys on line. Love Carrefour when we are in France....especially the award winning wines and local produce sections.
Mostly Sainsburys, but had a foray into Aldi's to buy a sledge hammer for a garden project - only to later find my club hammer did the job. If ever the saying ‘you don’t need a sledge hammer to crack a nut applied to anyone … Still, at £12.99 not too much damage done.

don't like Asda and hate their adverts.
prepared to change to Sainsbury's if Sebastian buys us.
And I'm gullible -- always fall for money off vouchers received through the post.
