Lidl - Supermarket or not?

Brownie talking utter nonsense again.

Often get my parma or serrano ham and parmesan cheese from Aldi's. Some nice balsamic vinegar and roughly chopped tomatoes and red onions. Glorious meal.

and is their cheese fresh Polo...?

Parmesan cheese the more mature the better Brownie.

You can get some nice feta cheese there. Air packed tight in brine or water.

you dont do all your weekly shop in there through do you..?

I alternate mate, dont go there every week, its good value for some things not for others. Youd be surprised, I was once I dropped the "Im not shopping in Aldis" snobbery, theres some really nice food to be had there.

However, for things for the kids pack lunches, and cosmetics its not the best tbh so no I couldnt do a full weekly shop there without going somewhere else.

I would call it a convenience store or a mini-market rather than a supermarket tbh.

Excatly my point, on occasion people would pop in there like on occasions people to treat themselves we would pop into M+S but you couldn't do a full weekly shop in either

Disagree, you could do a full weekly shop in M&S Brownie. I often pop in for something nice for dinner if I am down Cardiff but you would need to be earning a six figure salary to do a weekly shop there.

You are leaving me confused though Brownie, today you are arguing you can only go to supermarkets to do a full shop, yesterday you were telling others to boycott supermarkets and go get your fruit and veg here, your meat there, etc.etc. Contradicting yourself again.

Aldis and Lidls are the dogs bollocks!!! got a 36 pack of Assorted Crisps, beef, smokey Bacon, Chicken, prawn cocktail, cheese and onion, salt and vinegar and plain for 99p. Magners cider 3 for a £5, bread rolls for 20p and everything in Aldis is cheap as chips. f**k the supermarkets and anyway Most cardiff fans i speak to pushing a trolley around the aisles say the same

Not really in my opinion Supermarkets are places where you can easily do a full weekly shop. Not that I agree with supermarkets but that is what they are. This topic has come about because JB last night popped Lidl into th debate when I showed him and others proof that getting your fruit elsewhere was cheaper so then he threw Lidl into the debate my response was that inmy opinion Lidl wasn't a supermarket anyway because you can't do a full weekly shop in one.

Unfortunately this thread has started beause JB wouln't back down about fruit being cheaper than supermarkets thats all

So I take it that a Aldi and Lidl shopper like yourself also don't class them as Supermarkets also because you stated 'f**k the supermakets'..?

I like to shop at M&S. You pay a bit more but the quality is excellent. But the real reason of course is that I can covertly loiter around the lingerie department on the perve whilst making out that I am simply waiting for my wife. DingFuckingDong.

thats why they set up M&S Food to stop all the blokes hanging around the lingerie departments in the main stores.

So you are boycotting supermarkets one day, then championing them the next.

Bizarre

They've just enhanced it in my opinion. I like to drop little bits of Gorgonzola in their knicker gussets and watch with glee of the look of disgust on the face of the unfortunate lady browser. Only kidding of course. I use anchovies.

the term "supermarket" is a monopoly whereby the likes of Asda and Tesco collude to fix prices, thereby they can dictate prices and not pay the correct tax that they are responsible for paying.

On the otherhand the likes of Aldis and lidls are termed "local supermarkets"this is because the are there for the local people and prices are reasonable and the quality of their products are reasonable. that is why is said f*ck the supermarkets. Robbing barrrstards!!

Lidl - Supermarket or not?

Hmmm . . . not sure. All I know is that Tesco keep telling us that 'Every Lidl Helps'.

I'm not championing them at all..?

In fact I just popped down to my Local Aldi and its rough as f**k but I went around and looked at the fruit.However I must say even through the Bananas were was cheaper then Tesco by 15p they were still more expensive than my local greengrocer BUT they looked absolutely rank!!!! The colouring of the skin (both green and yellow ones) where very pale and looked really unhealthy IMO.

Where do you do your weekly shop Councillor Coke?

Got them all within the short distance from me with Tesco being at the end of my road but we get what we can from Penarth Town Centre. Unortunately we still have to go to a supermarket for 'some' of our shop so like yourself we do alternate but they to keep away from Asda as much as possible because that store in Cardiff Bay is f**king horrible

HA HA HA!!!

For 2 days youve been slagging off supermarkets and now you admit to using them

What a bloody hypocrite!!!!

Lets cut the crap Brownie, supermarkets provide a very,very,very convenient service.

If you run out of milk do you pop down the road? or do you wait until next morning for the milkman to arrive? No brainer.

said I do what we can up Penarth Town Centre so its things like bog roll, smellies, work stationary (which is part of our weekly shop these days) and other stuff which you would struggle to find in any town centre these days unless to go into Cardiff or a pound shop

That just made me

Weve got a cracking photo of him on the way up to the FA Cup final.

He fell asleep and someone put a bag of coke on his face and took some incriminating photos.

He was a councillor at the time and was not best pleased when he woke up.

He was almost in tears and went to ask Dave Jones (the book author not the manager ) to tell the boys to stop picking on him.

"Have a word with them Dave FFS mun!!!"

What a f*cking lie!!!!

Never in my born days did I think I'd be reading about where best to food shop on this forum. Now, I'd just like to say how delicious that Waitrose's Heston Blumanthals Teriyaki Baby Swan is. His Salt & Chill-Chocolate Deep Fried Spiders' are also worth a try.

What a f*cking lie!!!!

Its not a lie. If my kids drop down dead tonight its the god damn truth and you know it CC

In fact I am pretty sure said photo is in Modgeys facebook album of that day

No for me as I use the major ones and Lidl sounds like some Russian car just like I don't shop in NISA my nearest super market as it's shit and only good for the basic things.

In fact I am pretty sure said photo is in Modgeys facebook album of that day

You aren't even on facebook but you know excatly whats been said or put up on there!!!!

David Cameron would never answer if he has done Charlie or not, the press gave him a free pass because everybody in fleet street are at it.

One of the myths of the UK.

I do most of my weekly shopping in the Cathays Lidl. Except for meat which I buy from the market

I would never shop in Aldi;s or Lidl & especially the tinned food they sell.

My Mrs bought some baked beans a few years back from Aldi's when preparing my tea opened up the tin & the beans were mouldy.
