Too much choice can be a bad thing. Last year I had no idea what I needed or how much I needed to spend. Lidl and Aldi were the perfect places to shop, basic items at a budget price.Aldi depresses me, the lack of choice of everything reminds me of WW2 and rationing. I prefer to have the full benefits of our modern age of plentiful choice.

I was thinking of the food side, following on from Musicbooks mention of their baked beans. There I'd rather not let Aldi dictate what I eat.Too much choice can be a bad thing.
Yes, I'm not keen on that side of it either so I just go in for the specials when I'm after something.I was thinking of the food side, following on from Musicbooks mention of their baked beans. There I'd rather not let Aldi dictate what I eat.

Flecc. Look at the bigger picture - Aldis and Lidls are just part of the choice. Plus they wouldn't have lasted long in WW2.Aldi depresses me, the lack of choice of everything reminds me of WW2 and rationing. I prefer to have the full benefits of our modern age of plentiful choice.

I'm not objecting to their presence, the more the better, just the depressing effect of their "choice of one" food selection.Flecc. Look at the bigger picture - Aldis and Lidls are just part of the choice. Plus they wouldn't have lasted long in WW2.
You feeling frisky tonight, Flecc?I'm not objecting to their presence, the more the better, just the depressing effect of their "choice of one" food selection.
I heard the Aldi chief executive on the BBC's Working Luch recently, and it was interesting that he said they don't have the lowest prices, just what they feel is the best compromise between price and quality.
I don't like the present scene where they are all going for low prices, even Waitrose which I walked out of recently in disgust at the absence of some quality lines and masses of cut price stuff.
Do they think everyone is suffering recession effect, the chumps? In fact only a tiny proportion of the country is and a much larger proportion have enough buying power to not be concerned by how much anything costs. Yet they still insist on catering for the minority.

I've been from one to the other and it seems Bigbee has too, judging from this post of his.I can't imagine you'll find many Aldi shoppers in Waitrose,

I only go in there to check the bike stuff out - honest . Now Sainsburys bicycle section really is depressing.I'm not objecting to their presence, the more the better, just the depressing effect of their "choice of one" food selection.

Yep - it's a couple of kids bells, couple of bike 'dumbell spanners' and a odd puncture outfit if my memory serves me correct.I've never seen a Sainsburys bike section, do any of them really have such a thing?
