Supermarket Snobbery

[LucianDeville]

Hi

Up until a few years ago, we would pop into a Tesco store and when desperate, went to an Asda Store. However, we would never set foot in a pound shop and never ever been near an Aldi shop. Where we live now, never seen an Aldi shop but when we lived in London and on our journey to our brothers home near a royal Park, we did see an Aldi store..

We still work in central london and at the office many people usually retrun/come with lunch/shopping from M&S and/or Sainsbury. A woman comes in with an Asda bag and some call her a cheap skate. Another came in with a bag from Morrisons and many laughed. We have never seen anyone come in with an Aldi shopping bag.

We have our main bulk of shopping delivered every couple of weeks for a well known, high;y respctable delivery service and shop physically at Waiterose and a few bits at M&S - the M&S where we shop is a flagship store for the higher end customers.

We once read about type of shoppers that went to Aldi and the the like, is it true??? Is Aldi/Tesco/Asda/etc cheaper than M&S and Waiterose for branded goods????

If you do shop at Asda/Tesco/Aldi/etc/etc, do you think you save money or you just go as it's next to your high rise, soical housing estate?

Pound shops, is every thing really a pound or like the news report we saw recently, ie the shop keeper in a certain town that had opened up his none franchised 99p store said "these fools come in and never question pat 3/4 quid for some items in a 99p shop, lol."

ps - we shopat waiterose and at times at certain m and s stores as we feel you get more socially adept people on the whole - at Waiterose, the till assitants put or shopping into bags, ask us how e are, and carry out a polite convesation as they process our shopping and always greet us as we come up to the till and leave and offer to carry our shopping for us - well worht the extra few pence we pay.

I shop at Waitrose then Aldi/Lidl and occasionally at M&S the rest are utter shite.

I do my main shop at Lidl. The standard of the products is great especially the fruit and veg and the in store baked bread.

I did the main shop this week at Sainsbury and I had a £70+ bill compared to the £50 that I pay at Lidl.

Branded goods?
Pepsi 6 pack £1.39
Goodfella's pizza £1.34
Crabbies ginger beer £1.50
PG Tips 240 box £3.99
McVities chocolate digestives £0.99

I have to travel further to Lidl than any other supermarket but it's totally worth it.

Hi

Had a quick look at the reives for Aldi - LOL

Re Lidil - same as Aldi's??? We would never go into Aldi/Asda/Tesco/etc, may go into certain flagship Sainsbury and only Flagship M&S and almost any Waiterose but these are few and far between. One of our relatives from leeds stopped over at our place a few years ago - they live in Leeds, a nicer part of Leeds, ie were we come from ie Roundhay but they had never been to Waiterose, so we popped in to pick up sone expensive wine and champagne, gosh were they impressed by the serive at Waiterose. The relatives now shop at waiterose in Harrogate or meanwood they have told us - they are also moving to Harrogate, a nice, very nice place near leeds - we have family there and it is a lovely place for well to do families.

Hi

We commend you for your honesty and by all accounts the simple food items do appear to be chaper, hence why some hard working people go their. Though we have never set foot in one of these lower end supermarket stores the reviews give a true insight - heopfully we would never need to shop at stores like Aldi/Asda/morrisons/Tesco etc etc - however, it we needed to save money to p[ay bills, we would consider tesco/Asda/morriosns as we see it as it as our duty to pay our council rates, bt phone bills, tv licence, gas and eltric bills, water rates, home insurance, cars insurance, save, buy nice goods etc.

we despise low lives that chsoe to by none enseential items ie drinks inc soft drinks and alchol, fags, sweets/etc and not pay their gas/e/ec bills. most do not pay rent as this is paid for by the tax payers.

We do not have any family/realtives that claim the dole/hosuing benefits but have met people through our provious job many years ago and onlty 25-30% were genuine claimants the others took the piss and led a good life by working cash in had and getting a diability benefit and a new car and 2/3 good hols a year. There is a group of us at work that regualrly report benefit fradustaers - we get info through a colleages contacts that works at a certain place where he/she is aware of those on benefits and has suspicians re them working on the side and this person also lives in a run down social housing estate where 90%= claim benefirs but that person feels most cheat the system - this person is very fair minded and when he/she reports, us or another colleage puts in a seperate complaint and more often than not it is followed up. Last year two cheats lost their higher rate mobility allwance as they lied about their ability - they had to trtun the new cars and this is just on one estate - it made this person and us feel good as we had helped the tax payers and genuine benefit claimsts by remving a cheat/crimanl from handouts

Moral of the Waitrose tale is do your own shopping. I go for the reduced items! You can get some cracking deals, 1K of Estima baking potatoes for 19p a kilo, huge buggers they are too. You need to do your own shopping if you don't want near sell by date stuff in your order.

Lidl is one of my big faves but I have a travel to get to one so normally only shop there when passing.

Hi

a few monents ago we sent a very concise and factual email to the CEO's of Waiterose and cc to the local branch - in the Eamil we highlighted our concerns re 'so-called preice-matching and offers and chear end goods eg water and bread from lower end markets' = we have told them never to cut back on the service as this is what makes us and like minded people shop there.

When we are in Wairose, we have yet to see a smelly person and/or a foul mouthed one that is f/ing and blinding as they talk or swearing at their sprogs - this is the difference as one feels one is with their own class of hard working/assute people.

Thanks

n.b. Your ban from our store is still in force because we really can't have our customers exposed to common riff raff like you so kindly stay away and stop trying to sneak in. Having to physically eject your piss and sick stained drunken self is proving tiresome.FACT!!!!

Aldi shops and their products are fine, many surpass the quality of the more popular Supermarkets. Can't say I've ever shopped in a Lidl, but only because I rarely, if ever see one.

Aldi also have the distinction of paying their staff a very good wage, one that they can live on, without having to resort to top ups from the state. The only slight problem I have with them is that, to pay good wages they keep their staffing levels tight, this results sometimes in largish queues at the checkouts.

The worst Supermarket for service and products, particularly fresh meat, fruit & veg is the Co-Op, I would only buy branded stuff from them and only in an emergency. Their staff are rude, many without even knowing it.

The second is Waitrose, shit products and staffing levels at premium prices. I really don't know how they get away with it.

Marks can be very good if you go at the right time and take advantage of price reductions and some of their special offers. You can get really quality stuff at prices the big 3 sell some of their economy/ own brand lines at.

That is my quick synopsis of Supermarkets
