Aldi have apparently toppled Waitrose as leaders in the supermarkets customer satisfaction survey.  The top 3 being Aldi, M&S and Lidl.

Apparently customers were impressed with not only Aldi prices but the high volume of UK produced fruit and vegetable that they sell compared to the imported goods of the others.

Volkswagen? Daimler? Sauerkraut? (yuk) laughing

Leibfraumilch? My OH tells me Bismarck set up the first pension scheme as we would recognise it.

Volkswagen? After reading about their recent scandal of using Monkeys to inhale diesel fumes (as well as paid volunteers) to try to prove that theirs were better than some old Ford that they used as comparison makes me want to avoid this company completely. No morals at all.

Anyway, ttda, I could recommend a great eating place in Regensburg that might make you change your mind about Sauerkraut. Mrs WN loved it and she was a non believer!

So do Aldi have a fresh meat counter, fresh fish counter, deli? Do they have a comprehensive wine selection?

as  far  as  the  wine  goes,  David  --  G/nieces  first  boyfriend  post  university  worked  for  a  wine  importer  &  told  the  world  that  Aldi's  wine buyers  were  some  of  the  very  best  in  UK .  Not  being  a  wine  drinker  I,  wisely  for  a  change,   said  nothing  but  most  of  the  others  agreed.

It is slightly ironic that apart from Mercedes and BMW the most famous German exports are Aldi and Lidl!!!!

Aldi Pros & Cons for us

PROS

low prices

superb meat

fast

no multi deals

CONS

don’t stock everything

fruit and veg do not last

small car parks, often no free spaces

We shop weekly at Aldi, and get anything we can’t from the Tesco near us. We probably spend about £25 per week less, since we stopped using just Tesco.

They do have some award winning wines though.

Some interesting comments but like or loath them they are the fastest growing supermarket in the UK and sell more local products than the others which some shoppers go for.

Everybody has commented on food but both Lidls and Aldi have a high percentage of non food sales.  You will definitely find tools, compact satellite systems, pink & blue and maintenance battery chargers on most caravan sites you visit.

Aldi's best products are their Tools, Gardening and DIY products.  The only problem is that they discontinue those too often. 

As far as foodstuffs are concerned --- Yes they are cheap, but lack the quality of some other Supermarkets.

"pink & blue and maintenance battery chargers"

His'N'Hers battery chargers? Bit sexist isn't it?
