Is there anything ALDI don't sell?

I went away last week forgetting to pack any t-shirts. I was in Lidl getting some stuff and picked up 4 t-shirts for £10.00.
They're really nice. They've only been washed once but they haven't shrunk or faded. Time will tell though.

Sounds like a good result, but is there any colours apart from grey?

Its a budget supermarket, selling the same basics as Tesco, Sainbury etc just cheaper. It doesn't have the range of others but the quality is excellent.
I dont like the layout and the fact that they often run of certain items. I also find it rather bleak inside...oh and the checkouts. Its a budget supermarket, selling the same basics as Tesco, Sainbury etc just cheaper. It doesn't have the range of others but the quality is excellent.
Its definitely cheap and the quality is mostly pretty good.
I go with the premise that 85% of items I buy the same each month so I can get these in Aldi, and then anything different I can go to Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsburys which are all close by.

You can't have higher overheads and also cheap prices, and if you look at those that went before (scruffy Netto for example) it is an improved experience. Better shopping experience than Costco for example.
It does vary by stores though, Aldi prioritises location above actual floor space/car parking available so some are better experiences than others.
I have yet to find a branch of Aldi that stock a decent range of TVR Parts,
but apart from that I reckon they offer excellent quality and value.
And my local branches are very quick to open up additional tills as soon as people start queuing up. They are very efficient and the staff work very hard.
I always shop there for my groceries, bedlinen, guitars, inflatable canoes and ladies underwear.

3 months ago for 3 days. You'd never know if I were making it up or not (well, apart from the lack of a market to justify it) as they do sell some utterly random stuff.I believe the Guildford branch may have a limited offer of Special Buys: "Once they're gone, they're gone!" sometime next year?
I shall keep an eye out for that.

I'd wear that one above, couldn't give a fk what other people think, one of the few advantage of being over 50.
