    As a mum, I prefer to shop at Aldi or Lidl over any of the other supermarkets because there's usually only 1 or 2 options of things and in bigger supermarkets the vast choice can be quite overwhelming with a screaming toddler in the trolley. I like the fact that Aldi is smaller than the bigger supermarkets because I can nip round the whole shop in no time at all and I'm less likely to forget something because I'm visiting every aisle. 🥰

    Grace, I worked at Booths during university. They pay their workers only minimum wage despite being the most expensive supermarket in the country. Bullying and 0 hour contracts were just the start. Just a simple Google search of employee feedback will show. My mental health suffered so badly because of Booths and I will never step foot in there again x

    I love supermarkets ... whenever I visit another country I must go to supermarkets there. We were on a tour in China and stopped at a pearl "factory," but a huge supermarket was at the other end of the parking lot ... I went into the Pearl place for a little while then escaped to the supermarket. The guide was VERY worried I wasn't going to get back to the van in time (I would've) and came looking for me. I bought a variety of snacks not knowing what most of them were and shared them on the van ... we had a great time (there were only 9 people on the tour, it was great!).
    In St. Petersburg, Russia we were on a grand tour of the city and one of the stops was a "gift shop" (which, of course gives a kickback to the cruise company we were on - what a lousy selection of cheap souvenirs) and as we loaded back into the bus I saw a supermarket at the corner!!! I was KICKING myself I didn't sneak away!!!!

    As someone who worked for Waitrose for 2.5 years, but shops predominately in Aldi, I've never been so invested in a video. Fully agree that Aldi lacks variety but in my opinion the prices mean it undeniably wins. Quality is pretty on par as both have items that are fabulous and some that are pretty disappointing.

      ​@@MamaRebelle I shop with ocado for the same reason, I've found I very rarely ever have missing items either with them whereas i used to have a nightmare with other shops before I switched to ocado for most stuff.
      They are surprisingly competitive on a lot of stuff and knowing it will actually all turn up is a godsend for me. I can't just pop to the shop if something doesn't turn up, I had an asda order where none of the chicken turned up and I've rarely had an order from the other supermarkets where at least something wasn't missing.
      I do miss some of the quality but cheap waitrose fresh stuff. Since the switch to m&s the meat and veg that is branded m&s has been a bit touch and go for me so I've since just stuck to ocado branded stuff which is pretty great and competitive for most stuff.
      Definitely have to keep an eye on the prices though as they have of course jumped around a lot for everyone recently.

    When I lived in England, Sainsburys was my supermarket of choice, but I did go into Waitrose once or twice and did notice a big difference in the overall ambience. Coming from Australia, I was blown away at the ready meals options and loved a meal deal from any supermarket but I do have to say the fresh produce was really lacking. I absolutely loved going to the Whole Foods near Piccadilly Circus when I was in London and cannot wait to visit the American version and Trader Joe’s in the US.

    Ocado has such a wide variety of products, whenever I venture to a real supermarket I’m shocked how little they offer.
    Also they partnered with M&S which makes finding fresh organic produce easy.
    I read recently that while fresh produce in supermarkets usually has plastic packaging, in the long run it actually causes less waste as more produce perishes when the plastic isn’t there.
    You could always go to a local farm or just remove plastic packaging right away and wash produce to avoid any further contamination of the food.

If you buy anything and aren`t happy with it ,whatever the problem ,they`ll let you keep it and refund the cost.Great customer service too ,as i found out when searching for my (now departed) favourite ben and Jerrys.I wrote/emailed every supermarket i could think of.Some didn`t bother to reply ,the rest couldn`t obtain the flavour.Then ,as a last thought i wrote to Ocado and heard back within days ,from one of their top people.He not only tracked it down in another area ,he then ice packaged enough to keep me happy for months!!:) They`ll always get my vote.

    I work near Waitrose and I love it. When they reduce, you can get some good buys...especially on flowers (as a horticulturist they are my weakness). I nearly fainted before Christmas, staff finished my shop and the manager gave me it for free. Another time I wanted marshmallows to make chocolate top hats, the staff member checked an order that had just come in to see for me, and offered to ring me when they did. They maybe more expensive than ALDI/LIDL, but I find staff super helpful, and somethings I get from them too.

    One of the main reasons I shop at Waitrose is the quality of the fruit and veg. The two shops near me beside Aldi and Lidl are Asda and Co-op, I’ve constantly had issues with fruit going mouldy within a day of purchase from all of these, every time I get fruit or veg from Waitrose it seems to last at least 4-5 days to a week and the taste is where it should be usually. I feel like if you stick to Waitrose essential stuff where possible for most of the shop it doesn’t cost that much.

    You got a point that Aldi (and Lidl, ASDA etc) are chaotic and messy but that's mainly because of the kind of people that shop there. I mostly shop at M&S as I have one just around the corner and it's never messy but when I go to Lidl I always see customers making mess and misplacing items. Customers at M&S and Waitrose don't act like animals that's why their stores are nice and tidy.

    unironically saved money shopping at waitrose, gotten double the meat for only 20% more than my local tesco. worked out to me being able to make more meals out of it and saving like £4 on the meat. banger. Though, Lidl is still one of the best, if you've got one with a bakery their freshly baked goods are immaculate. Aldi food has given me terrible diarrhoea too many times I'd like to recount.

    If you shop organic, like I do, or simply care more about the quality of the food you're consuming and the welfare of the animals from which animal products are derived, Waitrose is really the only supermarket worth shopping at. And the experience of shopping at a Waitrose is just so relaxing.

    Aldi’s ‘Specially Selected’ curries (black labels) are THE best supermarket curries out there and I’ve tried them all. They are not just far, far superior to the other curries but they are on par with many a takeaway curry I’ve had.

They're by far our most expensive but you can go to a supermarket and have gin tastings, there will be fromageries, organic milk that you can fill in your own glass bottles all sourced from local farms?? I'm thinking Hill Street in Tassie and Foodland in SA (which has a weekend pianist playing tunes) 🤣.

    because an average trolley full at aldi's for. Me is £80
    where in ASDA
    I was spending £140 for the same sort of stuff ;
    I do agree aldi's haven't got the range that ASDA have got because the shop is a lot smaller ;
    so I still have to go in ASDA and spend another £20 to get the bits what aldi's don't have ;
    but I'm still saving myself an average of £40 a week which is about £2,000 a year 🇬🇧 .

    I'm poor but still buy some foods in Waitrose. Things you can't get anywhere else. For instance they sell unpasteurised butter from France and unpasteurised cheddar. So many health benefits! Also the staff are actually polite and friendly there, unlike the other supermarkets!! My health is my top priority that's why I'm happy to spend more on certain food items (when I can.) Oh... and I bought some stolen there at Xmas... it blows anything in Lidl out of the water!

    I have to admit I do like M&S foods - and they do still do meal deals, as do Sainsbury's, Boots, Spar and Superdrug. We've only got one Waitrose in Sheffield and it's at the other side of town for us (but not far from where my OH works), so we don't tend to use it, but maybe will more when he's back in the office full-time. For the supermarket-type shops I like Sainbury's and M&S, because they've both got good bakery sections.

    Nicely presented, fair assessment of both supermarkets. But! Food is not always about taste & price. For example, frozen chicken breasts at Aldi, same weight and almost identical price at Morrisons, when I cooked them had a really soft mushy texture. On looking at the ingredients I could see that there were five of them and only 85 percent was chicken, the rest was water preservatives and gum to bind it all together. Morrisons however only added water and had a higher chicken content. Also I bought a box of Suet (for dumplings) the Aldi Suet same weight as Morrisons had added flour and a raising agent, why ? Morrison's branded version was just pure Suet ! So Aldi are selling what can only be described as adulterated food with cheaper ingredients incorporated. I contacted Aldi but got no reply, strangely a short while later the ingredients on the chicken breasts changed ? You may like to check this out for yourself, it's important.
