Back from my Lidl trip.
I was unimpressed.
IMO its too big, more like a supermarket. They have lost thier way......again imo.
Aldi has everything i need with a better choice of some items eg cheese, tomatoes and small yoghurt (breakfast type).
The 'middle isle is massive, I gave up trying to view everything.
I will stick with Aldi.

Aldi do seem to be better for some things
but when I have tried it then there are a lot of things that I need that they just do not have so I end up having to go somewhere else anyway
and we do not have a Lidl - 2 Aldi (what is the plural Aldi???) but no Lidl - which seems weird!

Just back from my volunteering at AgeUK
my "boss" (does that work with volunteering??) is stressed
her daughter has just started University and she dropped her off over the weekend
it took 3 trips apparently
when I started it took one trip with 3 people in the car plus the dog!!
also - she can check her daughter's location on Google Maps
apparently she was out after midnight last night!!!
she is going to have to stop checking that!!!!
cos she ain;t gonna stop her daughter staying out!!!
I am glad my parents had to just drop me off and go home - assuming I would ring or something and maybe come back for a weekend in a few weeks time
although my Dad did say - many years later - that the trip back was terrible having just left me in a very blank room with nothing but a single case and a backpack

My daughter has Asda home delivery for the odd things Aldi doesn't do but tbh i think the only item I can think of is air fryer liners.

I got a watermelon out of Aldi recently. Left it sitting for 3 days and noticed an awful smell. It had started to rot and there was a disgusting smelly liquid oozing out of it. I don’t rate their fruit and veg much.

The daughter will have to lose that tracker device!
I think it depends on store size. We have both Lidl and Aldi within walking distance. Originally my preference was for Aldi but now Lidl seem to have more items that we buy. Having said that, Aldo do a Foccacia bread mix which is excellent no dodgy additives and produces an amazing dough. They also stock ' Mighty " yeast extract which is head and shoulders above Marmite since they " watered " it down. The Middle of Lidl has lots of decent DIY quality tools on offer from time to time, and on occasion some real bargains.

We have a friend who still tracks his, long left home, daughters. They are late 20's!

Noticed the downstairs turdis has a leak. Will let it dry out a few days and see if I can eyeball the source.
Not the end of the world, I've three other thrones upon which I can sit and pass judgement, but its just a PITA. Still, Daughter #3 and her feller own a building company and I can always get her to send one of the lads round.
