But like the similar German chain Lidl they often have surprisingly nice items, like exotic food actions (which are not always a success, in conservative regions, so you can buy them at a huge discount in the end....) Or a compact automotive toolbox for 50 euro's, that not only includes a basic set of sockets and wrenches, but also electrical tester & crimptools, plus a decent ratchet screw driver and dual/in-out battery-post cleaner....haven't seen the latter two items included in such kits anywhere before, not even for more money. -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand > [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] |

Yes, be careful though. Both stores have a suspicious history when it comes to "bargain" delicatessen products. http://www.oliveoilsource.com/script...o=item&p_id=51 I', concerned about this particular example because I'm a farmer in Italy producing a few tonnes of olive oil per year. Both supermarkets sell "Italian" olive oil cheaper than the cost of production. OTOH a few months ago I bought a number of air tools[1] from Aldi, because even if they are disposable chinese rubbish, they were cheap enough to use until broken then throw away/recycle. Spotblast gun Hammer chisel Drill Sander Nut driver Wash gun Stapler Nailer Helicoil framing nailer The girl on the checkpout looked bemused because all I had in the trolley was the "special offers". |

Shame they didn't do that with a cheaper variety of oil....olive oil is a bit too decadent to use for diesel propulsion....) > OTOH a few months ago I bought a number of air tools[1] from Aldi, > because even if they are disposable chinese rubbish, they were cheap > enough to use until broken then throw away/recycle. > > Spotblast gun > Hammer chisel > Drill > Sander > Nut driver > Wash gun > Stapler > Nailer > Helicoil framing nailer > > The girl on the checkpout looked bemused because all I had in the > trolley was the "special offers". Their calculations sure don't include customers who don't get sidetracked one little bit....) -- Bye, Willem-Jan Markerink The desire to understand is sometimes far less intelligent than the inability to understand > [note: 'a-one' & 'en-el'!] |

Hmm, I don't know if the "SIMPLY"Mafia is involved ;-), but around lake Garda I could not find ANY Aldi, though there was a store named Pennymarket, which looked like a spitting image of Aldi's... -- take care, ____________________________Jim© ~ People swear by their Macs.

Het geldt tegenwoordig als "hip" als je, terwijl je je ook een duurdere supermarkt kunt veroorloven, juist bij de (helaas vaak rommelige) Aldi je boodschappen haalt. Je basisboodschappen dan (maar dat is minstens 95% van wat je nodig hebt), want het assortiment is beperkt (geen 100 merken hondenvoer op vijf meter lange schappen bijvoorbeeld). De kwaliteit is gemiddeld. Een groot pluspunt van de Aldi (en ook van de iets ruimer gesorteerde Lidl) is dat je daar niet ongevraagd wordt gebombardeerd met van die vreselijke muzak uit de luidsprekers om je aanwezigheid te "veraangenamen", maar waaraan je je niet kunt onttrekken (sommige restaurants doen dat helaas ook). Winkels waar men dat doet, ervaar ik zeker niet als een verademing en verlaat ik meestal zo snel als het kan. Ik heb gehoord dat sommige vestigingen van Albert Heijn tegenwoordig ook "experimenteren" met muzakloos winkelen. |
