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 ?

Have you actually shopped in Aldi?

catgirl agree, a lot of shop sell this cheap food.
Not just Aldi, farmfoods, Iceland etc. Tesco, asda, Sainsburys etc. have their fair share too I agree.

Iceland is mainly cheap, processed rubbish. An awful lot of the things on sale in Aldi are great. Their cereals are fantastic value. They sell a decent range of cheeses. The passata is yummy.

Kitty - agree about costco cakes !
Also asda chickens are gross just full of water

Whatever happened to Kwiksave?

price =/= quality

pretty boxes =/= quality

aspirational branding & marketing =/= quality

read the ingrediants list on the side. that is an indication of quality. aldi does a lot of high quality food.

I think if OP had written
'AIBU to hate cheap, poor quality food'
rather than
'AIBU to hate cheap food from Aldi'
There would be a different response.

Some poor quality food isn't cheap. I know, I used to shop in Tescos.

Iceland is quite different to aldi! But up to you op. I like good quality food myself and don't really care which shop sells it. Luckily I don't have brand envy so am happy to look beyond the label.

I wish I could afford to get sainsburys to deliver my shopping. I go to aldi as it's aldi or nothing. If I buy their watery chicken I can afford to buy milkshakes for the children etc. I had to buy last week's shopping on the credit card as I didn't have enough cash to pay for shopping at aldi. I did feel myself getting excited at the choice in morrisons! I shop there because they can't afford to buy free range good quality food.

I have to disagree about Iceland. Their fish is fanastic and very handy. The branded yoghurts are alot cheaper than elsewhere.

Kwiksave sort of became costcutter

Can I just add aldi do lovely hot cross buns !

Spanky you're not alone, food shopping is becoming stupidly expensive.

I shop at the CoOp mainly, the one near me is a new store, really nice. Lovely food but still expensive :(

What I really hate is expensive poor quality food. Then you really feel hard done by.

Some months ago we got invited to dinner by a family we know to be multi millionaires though they never talk about it. We had a fantastic meal and when I asked where they got some particular things it turned out to be Aldi

YABU if you haven't tried it don't knock it

Spanky we have all been there, go knows how we got through last month and totally dreading christmas when we are just scrapping by now

"them kind of places"

What's Aldi's whole chickens like, have one in the fridge for tomorrow? Kids like the cereal, the ones like nestles cheerios, they can't tell the difference and it's only £1 a pack. I did a £41 shop in aldi the other day and then went online to Sainsburys and compared all the prices. Sainsburys would have been £63 - a saving of £20 - the mind boggles.

I love shopping in them kind of places.

Please, please, when it comes to meat and poultry just look at the packs and buy free range, or at least RSPCA Freedom Foods approved. I know everyone has to eat but please, please, think of the animals' quality of life and don't support the inhumane farming practices that abound in this world. A cheap (watery) chicken means that a poor chicken lived a miserable life somewhere. Better to eat meat less often than eat that kind of stuff, surely.
If Aldi etc sell ethically raised meat that's absolutely fine, but not the other stuff, please.

DH cooks from scratch, I do the shopping, he writes me a list every week.
I used to shop in Tesco, in January I switched to Aldi. We have saved TWO GRAND since The New Year.
Some stuff does look but, if you know what you want and choose carefully it is a brilliant place to shop. I nip to Tesco's once every month or so to stock up on coffee as DH likes on brand only! apart from that, everything else is from Aldi.

I go to Aldi, I love it. I find it funny when people are uppity about shopping in 'them kind of places'. I buy rice, its just rice. It doesn't matter where you buy it from. I buy a cucumber, its just a cucumber it really doesn't matter if its from Sainsburys or Aldi.

If you buy ready made frozen meals, bung it in the microwave and eat type things then yes, maybe it does really matter where you shop but for other things, who cares?
