Eavesy Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Clearly the poster doesn't live anywhere near one and so thinks no one else does. I need to bob there tomorrow to get a couple of bottles of Malbec. I suppose we could do a shop for him and send it on if he needs owt. There's one at the hill next to Iceland, about a mile and a half away. As you well know. All I was saying was, it's generally a 5 mile round trip to most. How much is that in petrol? £2? Possibly? And an hour easy goes by if you're treating it as a 2nd shopping trip once you've got there, shopped, come out and unpacked. Basically all I'm asking is for the amount you save on items you don't get in your big shop, you lose in cash on petrol and extra time doing a 2nd shop. Quote
Pablo Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Morrisons did have a truly sublime Malbec on the other month, 50% off. Quote

For me and others its a minor detour. Personally I think the days of the big shop are dead. Buy regular, buy fresh, buy whoopsies... Quote

Marc505 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Tell you what, their versions of Mars Bars and Twix are great too. Jive and Titan theyre called not sure which is which. Better than the originals! Quote
gonzo Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I think some folk think about things way too much. Quote
jules_darby Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I think some folk think about things way too much.That's not something that's often said about us folk on here Quote
Eavesy Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I've no fucking idea who you are, sunshine, or that you live in H, why would I? Sorry I put as you would know in the wrong place in the response. Basicslly It would be safe to assume that not everyone on here lives within 1 mile of an aldi. Quote
stevieb Posted August 16, 2013 Author Posted August 16, 2013 The Gonzo only buys one product at Aldi Quote
leigh white Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Took my mam to aldi in Tyldesley on Tuesday before she went her big shop at Morrisons, she only went in for a jar of honey what was on offer at £ 4-00 and normally £ 12, she was in over an hour on her first ever visit and managed to get everything she wanted without going to Morrison and saved loads.

That Morrisons is proper biddy though, you can't do a big shop there. You need to treat to the rest of the bargain shops there Edited August 16, 2013 by no balls Quote
Garrp Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Wine, fruit and Chorizo n other cured meats are tip fooking top at Aldi. Pablo, you make cum cum Quote

Sweep Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 She usually alternates between Sainsbury's at Leigh which is always empty or Morrisons, told her that M & S simply food are opening a store in Leigh soon. M&S in Leigh? - fucking hell Quote

That Sainsbury is the biggest in the whole wide world, it must be. I had an incident there once though when some local nutter woman followed me round asking me what I was putting my basket. There's some strange folk over that way. Quote
gonzo Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Do they do blue speckled triangular ones Stephen? Quote
leigh white Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 M&S in Leigh? - fucking hell Like we need another supermarket in Leigh, that Atherleigh Way will be bedlam. Quote
stevieb Posted August 16, 2013 Author Posted August 16, 2013 Do they do blue speckled triangular ones Stephen? Aye. They do a brown speckled one with a double cab and a 2.5l diesel engine. Anyway, Aldi now call them "Groovy biscuits". Fucking shithouses! Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Like they fucking didn't know in the first place, half of their sales probably came from ageing ravers buying them for their kids with a wink to their other half... What's more, who complained? Some people, well, they should have some kind of thought police cart folk like that off to Dartmoor for 're-education' with a load of magic mushrooms, some bongos and a tent. Quote
little whitt Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 thay do good Tbags gold £1.40 for 80 i get some one to get them for me Quote
Walkden26 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Tell you what, their versions of Mars Bars and Twix are great too. Jive and Titan theyre called not sure which is which. Better than the originals! Titan are the Mars version - always drop a pack in on my fortnightly shop. I started going Aldi about 4 years ago and wouldn't dream of going back to Tesco, Asda etc for the shop - save an absolute fortune and love the dump bins full of shite. Love the ale selection at Aldi and the raw and cooked meats are great at the price. They just need to start selling hash browns. Quote
KP Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Sorry I put as you would know in the wrong place in the response. Basicslly It would be safe to assume that not everyone on here lives within 1 mile of an aldi. There's also 2 more at either side of the town centre. So there's no reason anyone would be further away than a usual supermarket. For fruit, veg, meat and some alcohol it's ace. The special 21 day aged rump and sirloin steak is belting. Quote
Breightmet Boy Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) thay do good Tbags gold £1.40 for 80 i get some one to get them for meYou pissing snob. I'm gonna try Aldi, I usually do Morrisons at Harwood. Because I know where everything is and can do a full shop in 30mins. I'm all for saving pennies We ran out of milk at work so I went to that new big shop on Gilnow Road, I'd recommend never shopping their unless you can read Arabic and don't mind getting the North Wales treatment, the English to Pakistani language change as your queuing at the till. Ignorant bastards. Edited August 17, 2013 by Breightmet Boy Quote
bgoefc Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 You cannot fault their prices nor quality of produce, their fruit and veg is IMO the best around. This is correct! shelf life is 3x that of tesco, asda et al. Quote
