ALDI & LIDL Food and Drink Worth Trying?
Discussion
That's fair enough. I hate to sound like a tt but when I'm in the UK I don't have time to shop every few Days as I'm usually working flat out, so I want a bit of a longer shelf Life from my produce. I'm not slagging it, but Lidl produce in particular wastes far quicker than the other supermarkets.

Plus chucking stuff as rotten after a few days isn't in any way buying a week's worth. We're talking the small bags, not a big 28 lb one.Budgie old fruit, just for your comprehension, a few days is less than a week, as in 2/3 days. Your experience is different, but I agree with BrabusMog on shelf life, unfortunately.

But I am sure you will realise that vegs are not expected to last so long unless they are chemically treated to do so.

Spuds have a growing season. So they are stored to give availability out of season. It has always been thus.

Originally we were talking about Aldi/Lidl vegs going off--yes or no ??

In our local Lidl a year or so ago there was either an area manager or produce buyer in there going ballistic at the Manager and assistant Manager for the state of fresh veg literally throwing stacks of stuff into a bin as it was either too short or not quality stuff.
Needless to say its been much better since.

Bit of a lazy sod here (and also someone who never really goes into Lidl)...
...But does anyone know if they make any footlong sized subs/breads at LIDL? Don't have aldi near me. I fancy making my own sandwiches much like subway, but don' really want to pay as much as £5 for one like subway. I'm sure it could be done at home for less than half that.
