I think it's like any supermarket - it depends what you're buying. They are very good for biscuits, cheap olive oil, pasta, passata (however you spell it?!), some frozen food and I recently discovered their tinned tropical fruit cocktail which is lovely.rog2 wrote:No Netto here I'm afraid
I've never tried them - are they ok?
I don't have Aldi/Lidl so I can't compare but certainly Netto is worth a try if you come across one. The prices are a lot lower than 'posher' supermarkets but you have to pay for carriers (or bring your own).
If you search MSE for Netto, there is a thread somewhere with recommended Netto lines.
Happy shopping if you find one - don't forget the olive oil :-)Miggy

Our local Netto didn't have baskets for a while because the baskets kept 'walking' and replacing them would have added to their overheads. It's also the only place locally where you need £1 for the trolley.cempabunny wrote:Only thing I didn't understand was that they don't have shopping baskets???
I hope to wean myself off the other supermarkets but it's sooooo hard!!!Miggy

I picked up a supermarket type basket at an exhibition a few years ago - free of charge - and I take this to LIDL/ALDI - saves time both in shopping and at home. :j :jI am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser.

If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Netto's do charge for carrier bags, I think its 9p for a larger bag.
Its been a while since I brought their bags tho, I also use boxes from their store which are left lying around in the aisle's.
People also give me carrier bags and I keep a stack in the boot of my car.
I purchased a keyring, shape of a £1, so its there on my set of car keys, if I ever go shopping, I dont have to fumble around for a £1 coin.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0 -
we started going to lidl and aldi for their weekly specials (you can get some fab stuff). i used to think they were 'cheap' shops mainly due to their locations. it was my dad who put us on to them due to some brilliant stuff he had got in their specials. now we go to aldi once or twice a week as is quite local and only go to lidl occasionally when their specials are good as they are quite far away from us. you can sign up to both stores emails which tell you what their specials are.:love: married to the man of my dreams! 9-08-09
