Its Official, Aldi is the Cheapest Supermarket

We have an Aldi opening on our local high street later this year. I haven't shopped there before so I'm looking forward to seeing what they're like.

I like them myself A, they have a large variety of european foods in the one by me than lidl for instance, and some good household products

My family and I are regular shoppers at Aldi. Most of the products are of decent quality as well as being reasonably priced. Even if I won the lottery, I'd continue to do my main shop at Aldi.

I have always had the belief that it isn't about how much money you have, but it's what you do with it that counts.

Aldi and Lidl are good stores at good prices. I just doesn't understand why people shop at Waitrose. Paying even more inflated prices for same products. The mind boggles.

Been doing my main shopping in Aldi for a few tears now, didn't think I'd swap from Sainsburys but over time I have, always do my main shop in Aldi and just pick up bits and bobs in Sainsbury now.

This Russian one Mere is coming to supercede the all T

At least the vodka should be cheaper M

Shopping around works for me, unless I have vouchers for a particular shop. I like Aldi and Lidl but find it easier to shop gluten free in the Asda, Morrisons and Tesco.

I like Aldi,mostly shopping there,good assortment & prices and tasty food.

No Aldi near me. There's a lidl but it's small and always very busy so I've only gone a couple times

This is revealing my deal geek , but I keep track of what a set basket of goods costs at each supermarket every month. Aldi is usually the cheapest by a few pennies, but it's pretty close usually, and often not quite a fair comparison because of the quality differences:

Aldi only has 2 months because it didn't have all the prices available online until recently.

lol of course waitrose would be the most expensive, glad to hear aldi is cheapest, theyre actually a decent shop too for off brand items, i happily shop there

Wrong it was Asda

Asda v Aldi: I did my shop at both supermarkets and one was much cheaper https://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/asda-v-aldi-weekly-shop-21797599

I must admit I have zero faith in Which to do a fair survey, I think they are a utterly useless organisation. However my own experience of Aldi and Lidl's is some products are not acceptable quality to me and there is a limited range of items. I feel I have achieved better value at Tesco because of the much wider range, lots of half price offers and their value ranges. I also find their fruit and veg better quality. However some people have pointed out alcohol is very good value at Aldi and Lidl but I personally don't drink and the products I generally find poor quality are processed foods like frozen and tinned. I remember buying Rum and raisin ice cream and it was very watery and other such issues.

I can't disagree about Waitrose though. Sometimes I go in and try and get to £10 to get a free paper but its a struggle unless you can find reductions as it is so expensive. There isn't much they price match on, bananas come to mind. Still M&S is worse. I went in there once and ahead of me was a posh woman with a trolley full of food and drink and I think it came to £300 or thereabouts and wasn't that big a trolley. To me M&S is just for occasional treat purchases as some of their food is exceptional high quality but I certainly couldn't fill a trolley.

I've visited Aldi in other countries (PT, ES), and U.K.'s Aldi has honestly some of the best selection for me. Plus, their prices are indeed great.

The only thing I remember loving from LIDL (in Portugal) was their frozen meal "cod with fries" (very loose translation), which I'd let it defreeze, and then cook it with olive oil and scrambled eggs. Sure, not as good as a professional/homemade would do, but it tasted great and pretty close.

I believe you get what you pay now and this includes the quality of food, the customer service and the cleanliness of a store, that’s why I shop at Waitrose.

We don't have Aldi in NI We always go when we are across the border. Love their candles etc and can't believe the price compared to other places! Please come to NI

I love Aldi. I get the bulk of my shopping there. Though I find the veg does not have a long shelf life.

I use Aldi and much prefer it over Lidl, always find their products great and much cheaper than the big supermarkets.
