Aldi or Lidl?

I'm wondering what everyone prefers? Aldi or Lidl? I love Aldi but it's so far from where I stay, I have discovered there is a Lidl a bus ride away from me. Is this just as good and cheap as Aldi? Thanks

I prefer Aldi. I think it depends on where you are though. My Aldi is frequently restocked with fresh fruit/veg etc. The Lidl is in a not so nice area and the fruit/veg is always really old as it doesn’t sell as much. Friends in the Midlands say it’s opposite there.

Totally depends on the individual stores. Where we are they vary a lot, whereas the variety and quality of stock is pretty similar really.

I have Aldi and Lidl, both new stores quite near to me, along the same road. I tend to use Aldi, as I seem to be able to do a more complete shop there (they stock coffee beans which I can't get in Lidl). The in store bakery and general quality is fab in Lidl though - definitely worth a visit and still cheaper then the main stores.

I have both, along with a small Sainsbury's and Waitrose. I prefer Lidl, I don't think there's that much difference, but Lidl steak is great, along with their cheese, bread and pretty much all the essentials.

We have a Lidl down the road and prefer that to the Aldi we used to go to. I feel like they're pretty similar tbh but more brands in Lidl if we want them, also the bakery is amazzzzing.

I second the pp's lidl steak is great comment.
We had the pack of two rump steak this week for £4.something and they were so soft! Much nicer bit of meat that the ones we usually pay double for in Tesco Grin

I think aldi is better for a big shop, but I love lidl too. Nappies and baby stuff is great from aldi. The almat washing powder, chicken and all of that..

Lidl blue bag of museli and luxury goods - limescale remover and that sort of thing.

Aldi is on a par with Waitrose on the ethical consumer list - Lidl is much further down.

So, if you're concerned about environment, animal welfare etc maybe worth taking a look.
