    Tesco is one of our major supermarkets, if not the largest..however it's far from the best..that picture is a little misleading...yes all our supermarkets do half price offers...but the picture looks like everything is half price and it's not, it's just the items on the end of the Aisles..you can buy most of their 'half price' items in other stores for less..

    Yes a lot of supermarket offers in the UK have been found to be false, they double prices for a short time and then reduce them back to normal, but saying half price.:rolleyes:

    The two German supermarket chains Aldi and Lidl have changed the shopping trend in the UK, by offering genuinely cheaper prices at up to 40% off, but not everyone likes shopping there.

    Here is the Lidl song :D:D:D a bit irreverent at times :rolleyes:


    Lyrics:

    I've been shopping in Dunnes Stores now all me life,
    When suddenly walks in my lovely wife.
    We haven't got a drop of milk now
    The rent man's on his way,
    I got me hair washed cut and blow dried
    so we've no funds left today.

    We'll go to Lidl, Lidl, whatever the feck it's called
    We'll go to Lidl, Lidl, the prices say it all,
    I got a pair of shoes an anorak scuba gear
    chicken nuggets satellite T.V.
    I got the whole back garden decked out for €13.43.
    I forgot the milk, and she'll f###king kill me.

    Every month the magazine comes out,
    from camping gear to brand new German stout.
    The mother wont touch the meat
    She still thinks that its odd and the father's wearing Lycra,
    just to walk the fecking dog.

    We'll go to Lidl, Lidl, whatever the feck it's called
    We'll go to Lidl, Lidl, the prices say it all,
    I got a lawnmower, vollyball laptop dartboard
    a box of Hitler tea, I have the Christing fecking sorted
    with enough for J.R.B's , I forgot the milk.

    Now me shopping's less that 20 quid,
    Th cheap auld Mars bars take up half me fridge,
    The Tayto's still crap, we'll forgive them for that.
    The vodka almost kills you with a Sip

    We'll go to Lid, Lidl, whatever the feck it's called
    We'll go to Lidl, Lidl, the prices say it all,
    I got a weighing scales, beach towel, head torch
    and a foot spa for herself.
    I got a little German midget to come home and wash the delf,
    I forgot the milk, I forgot the milk, cheers.

    Lol @ Terry Page, bad, yes. But funny as hell! I have an Aldi up the street and they are a lot cheaper but it's true, I don't like to go there. It smells of disinfectant, the industrial kind, not the pretty kind.

    Aldi opened some stores out around my area a couple years ago. I considered going there to see what it was all about, but after reading about paying with cash, and a quarter for a grocery cart, and not bagging your groceries.
    I decided it was just too much work to fall in line with their rules. Never got there.

    So not too long ago, was going to give it another try ... then found out they had closed up all the stores within a 15 mile radius. So, that was that! :D
    .. They are now only in the inner city area ... love people with food stamps I guess.

    I never cared for Aldi, although there might be some in California, there aren't any around here. There is one by my son in Illinois and the nanny that watches the youngest grandson goes there and I went with her once and was not impressed. Not much of a selection and I didn't think the prices were that much lower than any other bigger discount supermarket.
