Whilst not everything is cheaper in Lidl & Aldi I reckon 95% of it is so it's well worth doing. Two things to be mindful of though: - They don't accept credit cards, so you have to stay in budget. - The have an annoying habit of displaying their prices above the goods rather than underneath them which is traditional here. So you have to be careful when doing your price checks.
If Sainsbury's don't sell it we don't have it, the local Lidl is a fraction of the size of it. The Lidl at Locksbottom causes no end of traffic problems with it's postage stamp size car park and people trying to get into it even when there is clearly no room left.
We do 80% of our weekly shop in Aldi and have to top up (cos of the Wife) in Tesco or Sainsbury's. Save about £20 a week for the last few years I reckon and it's all decent stuff.
Take Mum around Waitress. No feral kids. She loves it. Tend to lose the Missus in Tesco's - she has to phone me. Like the bread in Sainsburys. Personally think the Aldi/Lydl clothes & stuff is a bit tatty. Lydl soya milk is dire!
We use Tesco ...great selection and always lots of deals.
Don't like Morrisons much although they have a good bakery counter.
Asda is a mess, never use it any more.
Lidl's always has a lot of good fish/shellfish at Xmas time.
Never tried Aldi.
Have used Ocado a few times and always very good quality.
Ocado have been awful for the last few weeks. Preferred them to others due to the fact they hardly ever had substitutions even if they were a bit dearer.
Subs have started creeping up, they failed to deliver all the fridge items we ordered a couple of weeks ago and no frozen items with tonight’s delivery.
Anyone recommend alternatives? As I said, I’d rather pay a bit more as long as you actually get what you order.

Pay £6.99 a month for unlimited deliveries. Also gets you priority times at Xmas and Easter.
If if you are not happy with anything they will always refund you there and then with no quibbles.
One of of our milk cartons had a slight leak the other week and they refunded whole price of the milk and the delivery man also refunded about 8 items where the package got a little wet as ‘damaged packaging’
Over here in the land of getting ripped off, Aldo are generally 30% cheaper than Woolworths. We don’t have a Coles close by so I’m not sure what the difference is but close to the saving on Woolies I suspect. Absolute monopoly here with Coles and Woolies dominating the market.
interesting documentary re 'Der Chermans' on C5 over the weekend .. personally I find with Allidl you mostly get what you pay for .. in general I find that the quality at Tesco, even Morrisons, ASDA and (especially) M&S is much better .. BUT of course, it's all a matter of taste and affordability

This is certainly true for things like ready meals and processed crap. However, their meat, fish and veg is as good as, and better in a lot of cases, than all of the bigger stores. With the only exception being Morrison's and their onsite butchers (which I'll use if I can't get To my butchers).

morrisons on line shopping is spot on mate, biggest cock up on a order we have had with them is they doubled up on 40% of our shopping a couple of weeks ago and didnt charge for it.

Ever since they opened the Lidl.
Where else do I get my red wine 1.44 Euros and baguette .39 cents?

Jesus, what have we become.
For quick needs......Co-op or for more choice - Waitrose.
Use the local butcher (Andrews in Bromley).
Whats a supermarket?? Happy with that.
Me mum shops at Aldi/Lidl, they have a few things that are really good and really cheap.
Like others on here, needs to go and get some other stuff every couple of weeks from elsewhere.

My wife keeps going on about getting a milkman, which I think is strange given that she's lactose intolerant.
Tesco and Asda are awful for fresh produce.
