ALDI & LIDL Food and Drink Worth Trying?

[The Spruce Goose]

Nice cheap craft beer, steam brewery session iPa. Not bad at 1.29 a can per 500ml.

Pity. The entire point of these places is the aisle of dreams.

But if it keeps the kind of people who use Deliveroo out of the stores...

Was this in Lidl? I had a bunch of that while in France earlier in the year. Went down pretty well with a BBQ although some of them where pretty strong at ~8% I think they had a stout and a German red beer too.

Just been to Lidl and picked up 4 boxes of the Belgian beers

Aldi have the Phillips Perfect Draft on special buy, hopefully it means they will start stocking the kegs.

Doubt it, I did they didn’t even sell it with a key of something though.

Online only, sold out and was no cheaper than anywhere else

Quite a few local Premier type shops are starting to stock the kegs now.

"ROB" judging by the numberplate was today.
Car was in click & collect space when I went in, still there when I'd finished shopping.(steering wheel lock in place)

Aldi are determined to open a store in Wirksworth.

Matlock too, but I am not sure where. Possibly in Cawdor quarry, along to where Permanite's site remained after the Sainsbury's was developed.

[paultownsend]

The newer Bakewell shop is good.

I've only known the one Aldi in Bakewell The site of the old Cintride factory on Ashford Road next to the river and across from Pinelog?

I have heard that rumour. With a population of 6 thousand I can't see it.
Although it would be great if it did because it would kill off the Co-Op. I fking loathe the Co-Op.

Significantly more than Bakewell though and their shop is busy. As is Ashbourne's. Matlock would be easier though and it would gain Wirksworth's trade too, which I suppose is what they aim for.

Aldi thread has become very local.

Land is also a problem the only place they could put it would be down near Haarlem Mill and that's not really big enough. Who knows though.
