    I like to collect the club card points when shopping there .

    Hey if you like your shopping habits to be sold on to third parties so they can perform some direct marketing on you, then that's up to you :pac:

    A lot of cheaper items in tesco or aldi etc especially breads, yoghurts and cakes have terrible ingreadients in them ....

    Aldi/Lidl cheap food is not so bad.

    Tesco cheap food, value brand, is mank.

    I prefer tesco over lidl now. I'd only go to lidl for beer or fruit and veg. Tesco has massively lowered their prices and about time.

    Yeah, but the don't deserve my custom anymore regardless of their new prices. They RAPED and GOUGED us all for years - you have a short memory Jaffa!:rolleyes:

    I've had a Clubcard for nearly 10 years, and never ever has anyone performed direct marketing on me - how often has it happened to you?

    Just ate an entire punnet of grapes from aldi. Only 59c though, cheaper than a bag of crisps. I can really see why Caesar had those grape-doling people. Would be great.

    Cashing in on the club points outweigh any worries about being contacted by direct marketing companys .
    I just dont fill in those shopping survey forms anyway .

    I have to split my shopping between lidl and Super Valu most weeks.

    My trolly in Lidl makes us look like a family of processed food eating, obese, spotty idiots who know feck all about food and exist of crisps and ice lollies

    My trolly in SV makes us look like weave your own yogurt, health food eating freaks (and this isn't in my head... several checkout assistants have commented on the freakishly healthy nature of my shopping)

    Most weeks i feel like i have a spilit personality, it's only the weeks i do all my shopping at Tesco that i feel calm and normal. And now that they've dropped their prices i do all my shopping there now, better quality than my Lidl, better choice than SV and clubcard points that i can put towards my OU course.

    I dont take the whole club card thing serious but still , it;s nice to know that the previous months shopping has earned you anything between £5/20 or more ....off your next shopping /air miles .Not like you have to think about it much .

    Tell the shop assistants to keep their opinions to themselves!

    If they were commenting on people buying junk food it wouldn't be acceptable and it ain't acceptable to do it to you even if you buy healthy food

    What pisses me off about Lidl is there are no baskets. I don't want a big fcuk off trolley thank you, and I don't want to carry around my 5 or 6 items in a box either.

    They cut down on convential things like baskets, so your shopping is cheaper. You know this, right?

    Mine is the opposite! Buy all my healthy stuff in Lidl and my processed stuff in Tesco/Dunnes/Supervalu. No one's ever commented on my basket though! I'm raging. I'm gonna buy bean sprouts the next time. And watercress.

    I grew fond of Lidl while I was living in Barcelona. I haven't really shopped there since I got back though. I'm moving to Salamanca tomorrow so maybe I'll start shopping there again.

    I hope they still have those themed weeks. American week was my favourite. It was the only time I was able to find cheap peanut butter in Spain.

    Apparently. I shop once a week/5days and every time I go to Tesco I pay well over a 100e. If I go to Lidl (for a change) I don't go above 70e for buying usually the same stuff.

    Magic?

    :eek:
    Are you buying for just yourself ?
    I buy for 2-3 weeks rather than going every week and would spend about 60 in tescos, including some extra junk like a readymeal

    Has anyone tried those "tiger" loaves in Tesco? They're these big loaves of proper crunchy bread and they're only a euro. I just had some there, it was still warm and all.

    Savage.

    Gorgeous straight out of the oven with a bit of Kerrygold, though Sainsburys do a nicer one.

    Find Aldi do more brands than Lidl.

    60 quid for 3 weeks? :eek:

    my family spend over 300 a week on shopping!

    That's 50 quid per week per person... What do you live on, bread? €20 for veg, fruit, meat, bread, cereals plus extras?

    fair play though

    Its news to me. I was of the belief that they would only supply giant trolleys so we would buy more, and that they could afford to be cheaper because their food is imported.

    I was thinking about that too, my family have very high standards for their meat so we wind up paying crazy money for a good piece of beef. I'd just miss it too much though

    LIDL and ALDI are great and I use em all the time. But beware their tech special offers are not always that good a deal. They have a 22" monitor atm for 179 quid but if you look at Elara or Komplett you can get the same size in a named brand for 20 quid less. Always pays to shop around

    so many of us have failed to detect Tesco's dig at Irish people with

    'Tiger loaves, and have purchased them without pausing to think

    about that product's name.

    The sale of this timed with the collapse of the so-called 'Celtic Tiger', and

    now we are offered humble pie from Britain in the form of cleverly named cut price bread, haw haw!

    I did not buy one - I found it to be an intentional affront:pac:.

    So poster, have you enjoyed your Tiger loaf with lashings of Free Cheese??
