Depends on what you're buying I suppose (and if you can make your way through the sawdust on the floor
)....I wouldn't buy any meat from there cos it's so cheap I couldn't be sure it wasn't cloned in some lab somewhere.
I think peppers, fruit, toilet rolls, some dairy like yoghurts and milk....that sort of stuff is ok. (I don't know anyone who has died as a direct result of eating from Aldi or Lidl)
Have they started giving people proper baskets yet or do you still have to walk around with a box? (That was the thing that put me off when I went in there)
Dear god don't!
That really sent him OTT. They don't give baskets at all in our local Lidl - it is trolleys or nothing. Then once you get in you can't get out so you have to go all the way round the shop to get out again
And then you don't get a bag unless you ask for one,
SOMEONE was very traumatised.
I think it is great for drinks and ( as you say) every day grocery items. But no - I wouldn't buy my meat from there.
