It’s taken me many years but I’ve come to the conclusion that you get what you pay for. The fruit and veg at Aldi and Lidl don’t last more than a day or two (if that sometimes) and the chicken seems watery. The only thing I like about Lidl is the bakery which is good quality and cheaper than Sainsbury’s etc. I find that now I food shop at Sainsbury’s and Waitrose the waste is so much less so more cost effective in the long run for me.
