Prices are going up and I can’t get everything I need… AIBU?

Wasn't it always down hill?

Went to Asda tonight and a basket of shopping was 40 quid and a lot of the shelves were bare. I normally shop at Aldi.

Now ASDA is a good example of a store going downhill. Top prices, but average products. It needs consigning to the history books.

It’s not cheap anymore and hasn’t been for a long time. I just can’t understand the obsession on MN with this supermarket - it’s only a bit cheaper than other supermarkets, the quality of their own suffer is poor and shopping there is invariably a slightly grim experience,

And their cheddar cheese is hard and crumbly

Im iffy about buying their dairy now after that cow food addictive thing. Can't remember name. The fresh fish always stinks too and I hate the vacuum sealed mince.

I’d never liked Aldi. They are no cheaper than better quality shops.

Yes, there’s endless videos on various platforms about this, and most of the comments are from people saying they’ve stopped shopping there. I’ve also noticed that their own-brand “dupe” products are often almost the same price as the branded items. On top of that, Sainsbury’s price-match policy doesn’t help, all Aldi ends up doing is raising their prices.

Prices are going up everywhere. Aldi/Lidl have never kept ranges as comprehensive as the big 4.
Shelves in our Asda are frequently bare.

Have you only just noticed that everything everywhere is shit?

What on earth are you doing wasting your time at Aldi when there'll be a perfectly good Lidl just down the road.

Stop shopping there and go somewhere else then. Confused
