My wife insists on shopping at Lidl and Aldi occasionally where it was never really for me. I actually don't mind it as much as I used to. For me it's very good for people watching, bit like a mix between a gulag and suicide watch. I also feel like I'm shopping on holiday, as I don't recognise any of the brand names, as though I am shopping somewhere like Moldova.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Maybe all the people at the top realise they can’t afford for us to live until we are 154 and starve to death whilst draining health and social care so are happy for a bit of self euthanasia; I will certainly not disappoint them

The dates on fresh produce of meat and veg etc is a lot longer than the big 4 so you can buy more and know it’s not going to be binned.

Sainsbury have stopped putting sell by dates on most of their veg as they claim it will cut down on wastage. What they don't tell you is that it's mainly Sainsbury's wastage and not the customer's

Admittedly I haven't visited Morrison's in recent times but I have frequented Waitrose and Sainsbury's on a regular basis and have not seen rows of shelves bereft of products. If it's anything like my local Sainsbury much depends on what time of day you shop. When Covid started I shopped before 8:0am to avoid the crowds and have kept that up ever since. The shelves tend to be well stacked but on the occasions when I go later (from midday onwards) there tends to be gaps in the shelves and early evening onwards it is pot luck what there is available to buy

Certain meats and some dairy products and all frozen food.
