^ pretty much this.
I freely admit to doing most of my basic bulk-buy food shopping at Aldi. Their frozen chicken breasts are half the price of fresh from mainstream supermarkets, you get more and it's not filled with fucking water. I tried stir frying some fresh chicken breasts from Asda once; I may has well have just dropped them in a pan of boiling water.

A lot of their stuff is far superior to anything you can get in mainstream supermarkets.
For basics it's sound. I do supplement the basic shop from other places, but why spend double the money when you can get the same basic quality at half the price?

That was exactly my point
Especially their frozen stuff.

Their fresh produce rocks and you can get a great variety of continental meats and cheeses there
I just don't have one near me

Ours is about 200 metres along from us.
Which is another compelling arguement for shopping there.

Their frozen fish is mostly pretty good too.

Lidl ain't bad and a bit nearer
I should go there when I get my olives/cheeses/meats-type feasts.
