    Then it's not bread, it's toast.

    Wha'? :confused::confused:

    Toast is burned bread - it's still bread, just burned.

    Is there anything (food, booze, household products, shower products, etc...) that you refuse to buy in Lidl or Aldi because you believe they just aren't as good?

    I think you should examine your cooking skills if you're burning bread and calling it toast.

    The cleaning products generally aren't as good.

    Do they sell condoms? NO WAY am I risking cheapo johnnies.

    I hear their cling film is pretty decent...

    The johnnies look dodgy alright. I don't know why they sell them. Lets face it, most people who shop in Lidl don't use them.

    The ould scummers might. Thats why they have so many children

    Making toast is a cooking skill?

    They are called fruity flavours, that's not even a name, it's a description, they look like they fell off the back of a pound shop lorry

    The packaging isn't encouraging I'll grant you that! Also, I can't think of a better way of announcing "cheap b***rd" to your special lady.

    Condoms and wine, the condoms I wouldn't trust and the wine gives you the worst hangover.

    I did buy condoms in Lidl once actually. I was living in Norway and my boyfriend was coming over to visit, (yeah, in hindsight, I should have just made sure he brought some with him). The first chemist I asked seemed a bit confused (language barrier) and I honestly couldn't find them on the shelves anywhere else, so lidl it was. And, well, no pregnancy!

    Coffee in both is awful!

    The instant is rubbish, but I thought some of the ground is not bad. I am not a coffee expert though.

    Coffee, tea, ketchup, mayonnaise, cat food (nobody has told cats that we're in a recession). Apart from that I find most stuff is as good if not better than branded items.

    I love Aldi ketchup, probably prefer it to Heinz.. Mayo isn't too bad either tbh.

    Very good, so we've established there's no mention of burning bread.

    As above, quite a complex one.

    Browning is in essence burning bread, there are varying degrees of course.

    Get over it.;)

    The next person to mention toast gets a free lifetime supply of Lidl condoms, and they HAVE TO use them.

    Ehh..... ok there. You're basing this obviously on lots of research and not just some completely uninformed view that you have from walking by one once.

    Irony is that most of their products are actually supplied by the big manufacturers (Hunky Dorys supply the Aldi crisps), so it's quite possible that the condoms could be from the likes of Durex. Not that Durex are likely to admit it...

    Would you take the risk? Jaysus!

    I would find Lidl very hit and miss, some of there stuff is grand, an awful lot of it is rank though. Their beans are too sugary for example, lunchmeats are expensive and not that nice and their meat isn't the best either.

    Aldi however is the ****, have yet to come across something that tasted like it was made cheaply.

    I always laugh when I see Aldi's version of "Hunky Dorys" http://www.aldi.ie/ie/html/product_range/product_range_19188.htm

    Haven't been in the condom-buying market for some time, but no, I don't think I'd take the risk!
