Aldi v Lidl cling film?

Has anyone compared Aldi and Lidl cling film. I’ve used Aldi for a long time. I think it is better than some other cheaper ones that are thin. Noticed it in Lidl today for same price. Wondered if it’s as good as Aldi, or even better?

    I've not tried Aldi's as there isn't one close to where I live, but have been using Lidl's for quite some time & am more than happy with it.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
  • Guys, think of it - cling film is health harming substance. Why do you need to use it? What's wrong with glass jars with lids etc... One jar = many years of use: no pollution, no on-going costs!
