Get it? ALDI-lightful! ALDI... How deligh- oh never mind.
Today we visited Aldi! I haven't been there in yonks since I visited my Dad oop North a lot. That was his local.
As many people, I have a weird loyalty to the supermarket that my main caregiver used to shop at when I was little. My Mum favoured Tesco as we had a nice big one near us in sunny Somerset, so I've just always gone there. I also shopped at Lidl lots at uni and it was magical.
Well, now we live near an Aldi and I ventured in this evening with just under £12 in my purse and some purchases to make.
Well now, let me tell you, dear reader, I am in love with Aldi. I actually said to my partner as we left that I couldn't wait to go back with a proper food budget and get some crazy bargains.
As it was here was our shopping:
1L Sunflower oil - £1.39
Premium pork & apple sausages (6) - £1.99
Diced chicken - £2.69
4 pints semi-skimmed milk - £1.00
1kg carrots - 79p
Loaf of wholemeal bread - 50p
Luxury icecreams - 99p
Ibuprofen - 30p
1kg Long grain rice - 40p
Total: £10.05
I MEAN WHAT THE HELL? That's amazing. I am definitely going back for all the stock foods and the basics like bread and milk again. The meat I am going to venture to the local food market and see what I can find there. If they can't beat 1kg of carrots for 79p though.... well, my my my.
Sorry, I'm excited. Aldi is wonderful.
I think my next post will be about my local market. Expect photographs as well!
