Aldi wins !

Aldi doesn't win with us because we haven't got one. In fact we did have one but they had to close due to difficulty with access. I used to like Aldi and Lidl more when they first appeared in the UK, they had more interesting foods from the "continent" now they have less. I'm not brand loyal so I do what others do and use a variety of shops. As customer service is so basic in Alde and Lidl I think I prefer some of the other shops. I wonder how the survey was geared? If it was just on price I would probably agree.

We have a lidl and they are just starting to build a new Aldi , but I use sainsburys because they are "our side" of the town , and after being in my shop all week ,I just want shop and get home , my brother uses Lidi and gets us some things and yes,the quality is good 

It's a strange survey, the sample sizes are all over the place for a start, and of course no one knows the demographics of the people surveyed.

We used to be keen Sainsbury shoppers, then I had a less than satisfactory experience returning a product, so avoid them now if I have a choice. Then we opted for a Tesco online shop which was just so easy, and we seldom had any problems with products or service. Morrisons are good for fresh veg and fish, always better than other biggies. Being fish eating semi veggies (piscatarians), Waitrose offer some different none meat products, and we use If on our travels as we don't have a Waitrose closer than 10 miles away. Don't use Lidl much, but find they are still more continental than Aldi, and they have a good instore bakery, and do lovely specials at Christmas. Both Aldi and Lidl do some nice veggie products, more so than M&S. We struggle at M&S at times if away, other than for cheese.

We discovered Booths supermarkets last year. Very nice, high degree of local produce. But you can't beat a proper market or a good deli for really nice stuff. We are on a low salt kick at the moment, so I am going back to making my own sauces, rather than using stuff in jars or packets.

Can quite understand that, after a busy day last thing you want is any more traffic or shopping hassle.

It's Cornwall here so we have a good butcher and a really local fishmonger, so no problem with those  - but I only go to supermarkets that stock everything else on my grocery list. Not a few of the things that are on my list - all  of them. The discount supermarkets simply don't do that,  and I'm not going to drive from one store to another to hunt and search for everything I need.   Sweet chilli sauce, elderflower cordial, Parmesan cheese, chocolate truffles, Sichuan pepper and firelighters tomorrow. 

Supermarket fish can be 17 days old and still called "fresh". Supermarket meat is always in the headlines for all the wrong reason. Horse comes to mind and only these last few weeks, incorrect labelling by a processor. So using the big 4 is no guarantee of quality. In most 

Which surveys Aldi or LIdl  come out top in their findings. What you get is unit prices no multibuys and hence food waste. Like for like they surpass the others. but of course Snobbery plays a big part here. 

The BMWs Audis and Range rover "Waitrose shoppers" still use our local Aldi and Lidl but park away from the store and still use their Waitrose "bags for life"for when they offload at home

Some areas are not well served by certain supermarkets, and I wouldn't want to have to travel far either. Of your list ET, Aldi do gorgeous chocolate truffles, at least three or four different types, a very nice sweet chilli sauce and proper Parma Reggiano hard cheese at a fraction of the cost of other places. Not sure on the pepper, and firefighters are seasonal! 

We have two Asda's, two Morrisons, two Tesco Extra's, three Aldi's, a Lidl, two little Tesco's and a local Co-Op all within five miles of where we live. Sainsbury's and Waitrose further away, M&S food as part of a large M&S store. So not short of choice here.

Penzance interests me........unless something has changed, a Morrisons, a Tesco and a Sainsbury's all within 400 metres of each other........The heliport was far more useful!

We use Lidl rather than ALDI mainly because it is nearer and easier to reach and the nearest ALDI is older and quite dingy. As far as we can tell though prices and quality  are about the same but you do have to watch the fruit and veg at both for evidence of rough handling which does happen there.

For us M&S is in the next car park to LIDL so also gets used with Tesco over the road for what we cannot get at the other two.
