Wouldn't you have thought that this company would have made an extra effort at Christmas? Not so. Popped into my local one only to find nothing had changed at all.Still the same cheap, bad quality food for those unfortunate enough who need to shop there. Nothing wrong with that I guess but please, don't think you are getting any bargains because you are not. I too have been in Aldi stores in the Netherlands and they are the same there too. I simply cannot recommend anything they sell, no matter how hard I try. As someone else has said, when it comes to cheap food it means low quality. I agree with that. Oh, I also agree that checkouts are a joke, but in Aldi's favour so are many others. That's all I have to say apart from,as another reviewer has stated, ignore the company reviews by staff!!
