I work in sainsburys and have a staff discount but I still prefer Alsi for a few things. Once a week I go in there for 6 loaves of the 37p bread whcih I think is very nice and far superior to Sainsburys basic bread. Also we like the salami and the european cheese slices, especially havarti which I never see anywhere else. For me it is not a supermarket where I could do all my shopping as a lot of the items I need are not stocked. But it is on my run which includes the butchers the farm shop the local co op and sometimes Morrisons as well. No I don't have huge amounts of time as I work full time and look after my family as well. But I am a moneysaver, that's why I am on this site..

I guess it depends on what you want to buy!

it's the lack of choice that frustrates me - my family would get bored with their meals very quickly if that was my only choice of supermarket

I dont think aldi/lidl aim to be a supermarket where you could do 1 shop well imo you cant get everything you want,

I've had the same problem, and yes I do keep it in the fridge.

I think the problem is that (in this case) Lidl don't. It comes frozen and is left in the yard to defrost. Sometimes they leave it there too long.

so true - unless you feed your family on snacks and juice - there's plenty of choice there !
