[justasking111]

I am so ashamed and apologise for this please do not think this is the opinion of welsh mums.

I agree it’s ridiculous, but those things specified are the exemptions from the ‘non-essential’ category.

@Marmite27 is right. Read i properly, it says exemptions on them items.

I do thing it is ridiculous as baby all baby items should be exempt

There’s no need for that. However if you look at the list in your photo, the header is clearly ‘Exemptions’.

I agreed the whole essential/ non essential thing is ridiculous, but don’t let that get in the way of your frothing.

Plants and flowers? Essential? But gardening in general non-essential?

And it wasn’t me that reported you btw!

Whoever wrote that list is ridiculous and no wonder there’s been so much confusion. Bear in mind this is probably going to be read and actioned by someone on minimum wage trying to do this alongside their usual tasks.

For example, nappies aren’t on the “exceptions” list - does that mean they fit under another category? Probably, but how many people may read that and think “oh, better block off the nappies then”.

It is bizarrely specific. Laughably so. Except it isn't funny.

What's your point OP?

Dyrne it clearly states it's for the special buys. Nappies aren't in the special buys aisles.

This is your second post about this.

@Spam88

What's your point OP?

Dyrne it clearly states it's for the special buys. Nappies aren't in the special buys aisles.

Ah gotcha, I admit I have no idea what comes under Special Buys.

And, from all the photos of blocked off aisles on Twitter, neither do some of the Store colleagues either...

overlooking the OPs misunderstanding here, but the 'non-essential' items could well be essential:
Stationery- kids home schooling, adults home working. It's not impossible they could need these items to do this. Same for computers.

Furniture- your bed breaks, a fairly essential item for anyone not able to sleep on the floor.

Shoes, umbrellas etc - it's autumn, and weather coming in so entirely possible these things are needed for people to be able to get out of their house.

I get what they are trying to do, I really do, but you can't just block off pretty basic things and say they're not needed! Not everyone can shop online. People/children grow (I spent a few months earlier this year unable to buy clothes for my baby after a growth spurt so he spent a good amount of time in just a nappy or hastily altered items) and things break.

Agree that essential/non-essential can be different for each individual.

If the zip on my child's coat breaks (and it's their only coat) then that's an essential. If I want to buy them a novelty Xmas jumper then that's a non-essential.

This list is from Aldi. The OP is telling people it's government issued, it's not.

OP seems to have problems with basic comprehension.

How many threads are you going to start on this subject OP? You have been told time and again that you have totally misread the essential/non-essential list that YOU keep posting.

You are wrong. You won’t convince anyone that you’re right by posting the same nonsense on however many threads you wish to start on this subject!

please do not think this is the opinion of welsh mums.

Why on earth would anyone think this is the opinion of Welsh mums?

Though based on this and your other near identical thread, I'm concerned people may start to think that Welsh mums are overly dramatic and very easily confused...
