    In the last couple of weeks I've noticed that my total bill in Aldi seems to have jumped up.


    I can analyse odd extras I've bought or individual items that have increased in price but I've done that before without such an effect. I really need to get some old receipts out to check why.


    In the past two weeks my Aldi bill has been the highest ever.


    Is it just me?
    No its not you.

    Post a recent receipt and we'll all have a go at spotting the difference :)

    I can tell you that bananas have gone up in price, for example; so thats a few pence accounted for.

    I stand by what I said.


    As far as I can see, you are not a Board Guide, you are not a volunteer helping the boards run smoothly and you most certainly are not a Moderator. Nevertheless, it would appear that you take it upon yourself to assume some of the responsibilities of all three by attempting to lay down the law as to what a member can and cannot do. And then, because I disagree with you, call me a troll!

    Your other posts do indicate that you are a senior citizen, with perhaps, a lot of time on your hands.

    If my 271 posts over 10 years indicate that perhaps I have a lot of time on my hands, what do your own posts, 4688 over roughly the same period, indicate?

    @Vfm4meplse I noticed the bananas have gone up ij price but down in size :(

    I used to take delight in picking the biggest greenest ones from the boxes.

    Seconded.



    Can we have a little less confrontation, and a little more moneysaving action, please. ;)

    I get the mini bananas from Aldi.

    You must be the only person who buys green bananas. :)

    Most of my posts are on a handful of threads. I’ve made dozens on this one in its various incarnations. I make meaningful contributions that by and large, are on topic.
    You, in contrast, decided to come on here just to have a go at me, after I dared to criticise a post for being off topic, in an attempt to keep the thread on track.
    I still work.
    This is my “play”, but I like helping people, so that’s why I post here.

    A troll is someone who posts to spread disquiet.
    The thread was back on track, but you chose to re-ignite a cooling argument.
    So, that is trollish behaviour.

    Back on track. I have noticed rises in milk, but I have also noticed cheap alternatives disappearing from time to time. Cheap beans, cheap pasta and a few other things went missing, so I had to buy more expensive replacements.
    That was my own explanation to myself.
