Having to cut corners
Obviously, what with this credit crunch business going on shops and businesses have helped out us poor by simply putting their prices up instead of down. Tescos have sneakily done this on alot of items, so as a family we have looked at "alternate shopping".

BTW Britain before I continue I thought VAT went DOWN, NOT UP YOU BUNCH OF MONOPOLIZING CUNTS!!!!!

Ahem. Anyhows, we've taken to shopping in alternate places, and have discovered the joys of Aldi. Now originally, Aldi had the "Lidl" stigma attached to it, which was "It's german, it's good for cheap booze, but the food tastes of gone-off twat". Recently, they've actually changed alot of things and sell not-to-bad stuff (in fact the frozen microwave thai curry is very good, I fattily recommend it).

The one thing they haven't got right though is the toilet rolls. Christ.....just add the smallest hint of moisture and bam, instant falling apart mushyness. After using approximately half a roll on one visit to the toilet, that was enough for me. I threw the spare rolls at passing kids.

So to summarize, Aldi's is not that bad, unless you need to take a shit regularly. Just don't eat too many thai curries then.

Aldi rocks! You can get lobsters in there for a fiver. Granted, their frozen and look like penises wrapped in clingfilm til their defrosted, but that sort of adds to their charm - can scare the girlfriend with um...

Also clicked for "gone-off twat"!
Their ground coffee is excellent, as are the sausages both English and continental.

Also one week they were doing 2003 vintage burgundy for £4.99. High class hangover or what?

A really nice tomoto, basil and mascarpone pasta sauce, goes beautifully with tuna!

Love the chicken too!

Ermm....
VAT isn't charged on food products as they aren't "luxury goods". VAT is only charged on the list of good defined as "luxuries" - which includes just about everything that isn't food and all services.

Thus the argument about charging VAT on fuel services such as electricity, gas and water over the last few years.
