Daylight robbery
Ok.. this is serious.
A subject very close to my heart.. BISCUITS! As you can see from the pictures, Lidl are now packaging custard cream biscuits like this... Now if you package them as they used to be, you would get at least another three biscuits in there. I feel robbed! Bl00dy Germans, they bombed our chip shops as well ya know!

I'm usually the first one for a bargain, but I detest Lidl and Aldi food, we tried a weekly shop there once; never again.

Shrinkflation strikes again.
Kelloggs now have pack sizes 375gm instead of 500gm |

CUSTARD CREAMS:? eek:, How can you eat such rubbish.
Surely you could at least stretch to Bourbon Creams. Just as rubbish, but taste much nicer.

This thread is about cheap trashy biscuits that still taste nice..,Morrison’s do their own choc hob nobs, can’t remember what they are called, but they are about the same, half the price of the real thing. Atm our local S/bury is selling the large pack of choc hobnobs for the same price as the small pack, well you just have to buy them don’t you? It would be rude not to.

We don't buy any meat from the supermarkets, we always buy meat from a butchers and we have a couple that always look after there regular customers. I also get to choose the meat cut I want not what the supermarket decides to put in a tray. A butcher will also vacuum pack it if you ask so it lasts longer. I also can buy the amount of sausages I want not a pack of 8 and a couple go to waste. |

The only times we enter into an Lidl or an Aldi is for the non-food offers, as for the quality of food; we have found it to be somewhat questionable.
I know the stores are smaller than the average supermarket, hence the small product range, but why bother? You end up having to go to one of the more renowned supermarkets to finish a weekly shop anyway. The whole experience has been unpleasant at times, the small amount of staff that I've seen in one of these stores are generally miserable, they only have one till/cashier operating; so the queue tends to be a mile long. Each to their own I guess. |
