Anything I buy from Tesco's and Dunnes tends to spoil very quickly. I find the fruit and veg is cheaper and of better quality than either Tesco or Dunnes. I have to admit Aldi's quality isn't great and I don't buy F & V there.

All of that white sliced pan crap is loaded full of preservatives and additives; just have a look at the ingredients like. It's a type of junk food, nothing more.
FTA69 wrote: » I'm all in favour of cheap quality produce and it's clear that Aldi and Lidl have that in abundance; however I'm not too fond of the way that these large outlets open up and end up killing off the small businesses in the traditional town and village centres. Macroom in Co Cork is an example of this; a Lidl opened up on the outskirts offering free and easy parking in a town notorious for congestion as well as cheap and convenient shopping and it led to the demise of the town centre itself. There are closed properties up and down the main street and it's a bit sad to see to be honest. Personally I hate to see complete standardisation in terms of shopping when all food purchases etc is concentrated into large outlets belonging to multinationals.
