April 14th 2015 - Aldi

Prior to moving North nearly 2years ago I hardly visited Aldi for my shopping, despite there being 2 where I lived.  Both were out of town and involved 2 different buses each way - not fun or easy with kids and shopping!  So we would occassionally nip over in the car.

When we moved house, we started off by shopping at Morrisons for most things as thats what we had got used to as our regualar supermarket.  However, on the same site as Morrisons there was a Lidl, so we would nip in there and get few bits. We then had to go to the other retail park to go to Iceland for any other bits we had't managed to get.  Next door to Iceland is Aldi!

We decided that we would try and do our shopping at Aldi as they say its much cheaper than the other supermarkets.  Yes they are cheaper BUT we still found we had to go elsewhere for few things.  But on the whole we manage to do most of our weekly shopping at Aldi and Iceland.

We were sppening in the region of £90-100 a week in Morrisons and then extra in Iceland.  By swapping to aldi we have reduced the main shop down to £60-70 a week.  Which is great, this extra money comes in very handy with 3 boys who are growing out of clothes and ruining school shoes like you wouldn't believe. 

I wish I had started using Aldi alot sooner than I did and would certainly reccomend it to anyone.  As I said abov we do have to get a few things from elsewhere but I would say 85% of main shop is done at aldi, 10% at Iceland and 5% elsewhere - for the reason Aldi don't sell the product or don't have it in or we don't like Aldi's version.
