i hate aldi
and everyone who shops there. the one in didsbury should not be there (didsbury is posh) and it was the only place to park near my old job. the amount of times i had to hang around after viewings waiting for pikeys to unload the stuff from their trolleys into the shopping bags in their car boots... one pikey pikey pikey piece at a time...

Meh, I have no problem with shopping at Aldi
If I was to shop there every week rather than Tesco, I'd save myself a good few quid, whilst eating better.

However, I'm currently deal surfing at Tesco, so I'll still be shopping there for another couple of months.

Either Aldi or Lidl has far better cured meat than most supermarkets
however I can never be bothered to go in and find out which it is.

I've never shopped in Lidl, for the simple reason there isn't one near me.
As soon as I'm eating properly again, I'm going straight back to Aldi. But by only buying what's on offer at Tesco, I'm eating tasty food, and it's filling.

Thoroughly bad for me, I know, but 24 Birds Eye waffles for £2? Bargain!

There's one in MK now.
Still no cash converters or anything though.

I never understood the reason for Aldi in Didsbury.
It looked so out of place.
( girlinthehole, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:12, Reply)

correct.
they should have stuck it further up the road in longsight or levenshulme where it belongs with LIDL and NETTO.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:14, Reply)

Why?
Aldi is pikey. The north is unremittingly pikey, Didsbury is in the north... the perfect match, as far as I can see.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:15, Reply)

Didsbury is a little haven of southerness in a sea of northerness.

( girlinthehole, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:18, Reply)

Bollocks.
How do they say 'bath' and 'grass'?

I bet they all have 'serviettes' and 'settees' in their 'lounges' too.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:22, Reply)

They have a cheese shop ffs.
How southern can you get.
( girlinthehole, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:27, Reply)

I bet they eat 'cobs' and 'barm cakes'.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:28, Reply)

Didsbury is full of gay men.
It's a well known fact that gay men are only found south of Birmingham.

I used to get a lovely cheese with cumin seeds.
Can't find it anywhere else.

it's better than Asda
and Tesco
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:12, Reply)

Sticking your penis into a toaster is better than Asda, though.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:14, Reply)

They've got a few good things in there, I'd say.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:16, Reply)

What, in your toaster?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:17, Reply)

Asda I mean.
Things like 24 rolls, vacuum packed for about £2. Cheap, and perfectly fine for making sandwiches.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:18, Reply)

that is very true
although, they do sell very cheap and quite nice towels. I'm not entirely sure why I got towels from Asda, but they are a lot nicer and longer lasting than the rather more expensive Next ones.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:17, Reply)

Probably.
What I think is the biggest Asda in the UK used to be my nearest supermarket, and I didn't have a lot of choice. Luckily I've moved back into central Edinburgh and can go to proper shops.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:20, Reply)

Asda is cheap. I brave there once every few weeks. I don't care that all the fucking pretentious rich people will judge me for being too poor to get a taxi to Harrods and buy some foie gras

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:26, Reply)

mmmm foie gras

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 25 Jan 2011, 10:34, Reply)

I meant a greengrocer, a butcher and a fishmonger
as opposed to Harrods. One of the major benefits of living near the centre of a town. It's not more expensive than Asda, the stuff just isn't shit. But I appreciate most people don't have that option.
