Aldi v Lidl

giddykipper

Hi all

I currently shop at Aldi but have heard rave reviews about Lidl, and a couple of people have said that its cheaper then Aldi but the quality doesn't suffer.

Anyone know if this is true? I'm getting a bit giddy at the thought of saving a few quid!

Thanks

Hi there :beer: There are several threads in the Shop don't Drop Board comparing supermarkets - I found this one - Aldi or Lidl?

I'll move your question over

Thanks very much, I wasn't sure if I'd posted in the right section.

If it wasn't for the shop names i would be hard pushed to tell the 2 apart.

Even the layouts are similar. There are bargains and favourites to be had in either. Same as any supermarket, some things are better priced than others, some i don't think are that good at all.

If you have never been before then indeed you must be excited, go give it a whirl.

Don'T be put off by some unfamiliar brand names.

Most things are as good and even better than familiar brands.

Try a few things. The chocolate is particularly good. ( Cadbury eat your heart out)

Lidl every time, I find the quality, service, pricing and selection of goods better on almost every level.

I shop at Lidl during the week and pop into Aldi at the weekend. We've got both (and we're only a small town!!). The main difference is that our Lidl opens at 8 am and is on the way back from the newsagent where I work!

hi all, try shopping at lidl, when they are doing fruit and veg at half price, they do it on a regular basis, Lidl online will tell you whan you're local store is doing it. They sell a lot then, and have a fast turnover, specially in salad stuff, so usually nice'n fresh:j

There are things in lidl which you dont get in aldi like the orange juice in the glass bottles you dont get in aldi

Aldi seem to be trying to move a bit upmarket. Of the two, on balance, we prefer Lidl. No airs and graces, just good value, on the whole.

Both are great, both have their own special offers every week, all power tools have 3 years warranty, I would not like to say one is better than the other they are both good value shops.
