To hate cheap food from aldi??

[sammiejasminemills]

I absolutely hate cheap food , I don't know why I ate it as a
Child but now I refuse to shop in them kind of places ?

You hate it because it is cheap?

What's the difference between an aldi lemon and a waitrose lemon?

Where do you shop op?

Yes YADBU and a snob, Aldi food maybe cheap but quite a lot of it is actually better than name brands.

I only like expensive food. Regardless of quality.

YABU

Aldi food is lovely. Just because most supermarkets are horribly overpriced doesn't indicate quality.

Pure nonsense. Affected nonsense.

It all comes from the same places. You are a victim of branding.

Yep OP, because Heinz ketchup from Aldi clearly is not as nice as Heinz ketchup from Waitrose

It's German and it's higher quality than much of what you can buy in the UK supermarkets. But if you don't like it, don't buy it... not difficult, is it?

YABU - If you can bear having your shopping thrown at you, Aldi Food is, for the most part, just as good as other food.

Like another poster said, a lemon is a lemon. I agree that some of their products are shonky, however, I now do the bulk of my shopping at Aldi and then pop across to an "upmarket" shop for the Kelloggs, Fairy etc that I cannot get at Aldi.

For my trouble, I have cut my shopping bill down by 50%. A great reason to get over my allegiance to marketing campaigns. OP perhaps you should reconsider?

Aldi's fab for cleaning products, lavatory paper, kitchen roll, organic chicken, cheeses, cottonwool pads, concealer, virgin olive oil, rye bread, Crofton cookware (like a knock-off Le Creuset), their specials on gardening tools, sportswear, merino knitwear, BBQs.

I could go on. I'd rather buy these things cheaply and at good quality, and keep my money for the things which ARE expensive.

Just did an Aldi shop. Got free range chicken, pasta, micofiber cloths, olive oil, juices for kids, fish fingers and cheeses.

They aren't great for some things, but seemingly half the people in Aldi this afternoon were walking around with Waitrose carrier bags

Then don't buy it. Next?

I love Aldi! And Lidl! Great quality food, especially the meat, and fruit and veg

You are lucky to be able to get to Aldi OP. My nearest is over 10 miles away with no direct public transport. Petrol to get there would be too expensive for us.

I havent got one. I wish I did.

Honestly op you must have your head in the clouds!

I have worked in food manufacturing...for big brands advertising is @20% of the cost. You can't eat the tv advert so you are wasting your money.

I have just had some very nice King prawns that I bought from aldi, £8 for 1kg, can't be bad.

YABU.

God knows what you consider "non cheap" food. If you think you are automatically getting better quality on every item by shopping at Tesco / Sainsbos / Waitrose you are very misguided.

Most supermarkets meat is not of a great standard, some supermarkets are higher quality on some items and that includes the "discount" stores, some of whose brands are just European and acutally higher quality than the "familiar" UK brands and as other posters have said Heinz is Heinz wherever you buy it.

It depends on what you buy whether it is good or poor quality - not just where you buy it from. I won't buy meat from any supermarket including Waitrose as I dont think the quality is good enough but I will buy a tin of heinz baked beans from anywhere.

I don't like mass produced, frozen, processed shite but all supermarkets sell that. From Farmfoods to Waitrose - if you want to buy it, its avaliable, if you don't - don't buy it.

Its not just Aldi that sells "cheap" food and "cheap" food is not all that Aldi sells.

i find aldi fruit and vg alot better than in tesco asda ect.

i have to pay 5p for a carrier bag, so having any carrier bag is expensive lol

Nobody can make you like something. As long as its your own money you are spending you can spend it where you want.

So, not 'chap' food this time then? I can't believe you redid this thread to complain about Aldi, which sells some lovely food. Just because it is cheap, doesn't mean it is bad.

Have an Aldi

You have beat me to it OP!
Was IBU to throw away a whole Iceland chocolate gateaux on Sunday before anyone else had tasted it?! I bought it, never been to Iceland before and went in to get some jam of all things. I bought the massive gateaux for £2, it looked fine but when it was defrosted and i tasted it it was disgusting, cheap, unbelievably sugary, horrible stodge and it went in the bin.
A friend bought one of those massive birthday cakes from Costco and that was disgusting too.
YANBU OP. I hate cheap food.

...depends if you can afford posh food and pricey stuff from Waitrose etc.
I shop at Aldi and i know some of the fruit and veg is not so good.... the other food from there is fine..
