I have seen them run out of milk before, and also noticed that the date on one bottle was use by tomorrow - not ideal No major queues at the till, and the staff have always been polite , efficient and helpful to me. Good store with good products at good prices. I would suggest this is one of the best stores to get ones foods, and of all the ALDIs I have been too this would be my personal choice and recommendation to use

With currently not having a lot of income and the disgusting prices food has risen to recently, I…read moredecided to take a trip to Aldi recently and see if I could save a little on my usual weekly shopping. Aldi was founded in 1946 but the first branches opened in the United Kingdom back at the end of the 80s. A lot of the products originate from Germany. The store's interior was rather shabby looking and I#d wondered if I'd made the right choice but it was also very quiet. It was a lot easier to go about my shopping without crowds of people in the way everywhere. The items have a basic layout - usually stacked in cardboard boxes in aisles bar the fridge and freezer items and fruit. But it was fairly easy to find what I wanted but I bought everything I normally would from the major supermarkets [as well as a few extras] and spent £10 or so less which was nice. Aldi offers a lot of own brand alternatives to common food items like cereals and crisps often at a much cheaper price and they do taste quite similar as well. However I did find that on some items they were a lot poorer than the bigger supermarkets. Things such as toilet roll were quite expensive and you didn't get half as many rolls as you would for a much better price at somewhere like Asda. I also noticed that they don't really have a great deal of variety. A lot of items you'd normally expect to find in a supermarket such as lemon curd or jam to name a few were not stocked and whilst you can easily knock quite a lot of your weekly shopping bill, it still means a trip down to Asda or Tescos to get a few extras. The staff were all very friendly both around the store and at the checkout and the store has a nice bright and feel good vibe to it in general. My only complaint would be the lack of plastic bags or suitable storage containers for the food. We had to rely heavily on cardboard boxes that weren't very big and eventually had to pile most of the food back into the trolley and then bit by bit in the back of the car and out again at the other end. However I would definately reccomend Aldi for anybody who would like to save a bit of money on their shopping though I wouldn't personally shop there every week I still think out of the discount supermarkets I've tried such as Lidel or Netto I definately felt I got the best value for money here. Just make sure you take lots of bags or boxes!

I gave him his hat back which he had dropped beside my car and told him that there was no damage and tried to explain they had not left me enough room to get in. He then said 'don't argue with me' and launched into an unprovoked tirade of abuse. His mother returned and he kindly told me to F*** off then got out of his car and took a picture of me although I told him this would be harassment - which it was.

Really nice to get that sense of community shop from a big chain store. Original review: Great size for a local Waitrose, big enough to be the catch-all, but not a megastore by any stretch of the imagination. It's hard to review a Waitrose it seems. If you really need a lot of info maybe try wikipedia. (btw, their bread counters are always brilliant).
