I finally discovered Aldi after all these years and I must say that I like it (with one caveat -…read moresee later). The store is big and bright. The staff are hardworking and friendly enough - I don't think they have enough time to be as friendly and chatty as they are at the nearby Sainsbury's or Morrisons. The prices are good (significantly lower than the above stores) as is the selection. It is actually refreshing to see some new options both in terms of goods for sale and brands. Yes there are products (largely of German origin) that are different to the bigger stores but we have started experimenting a bit and some are actually better! However Aldi will never replace Sainsbury's for us since the latter simply has a wider selection and their own top of the line "Taste the Difference" brand products are hard to beat. We now see Aldi as nice, moderately priced supplement to the giants. I would never buy bread from Aldi - I like it fresh baked and crispy but the meats, produce and much of the dairy products are good. I do deduct a star because it always seems very busy (the prices!) and they rush you through the checkout at a crazy pace - they need packers as in the US (something I have yet to see in the UK). Will we be back - yes indeed (but also back to Sainsbury's 2-300 yards away Review #63 2019

An extremely popular branch of Aldi, set in the relatively new shopping complex above the main town…read morecentre in Swadlincote. On a corner plot, there is a good view of the local Ski Centre main slope. The outside of Aldi promotes products like snow shovels, de-icer, fire lighters or a range of competitively priced range of garden plants, depending on the time of year. Inside is a small section near the entrance selling a limited of magazines and newspapers. The rest of aisles are stacked to the rafters with great alternatives to more expensive brands. The shelves are constantly being replenished too and the whole store is smart and clean. Always busy, lots of people doing their complete shop here. We tend to flit from one supermarket to the next, but we get most of out fruit and vegetables from Aldi, great quality, at lowish prices, is always going to be a winner. We also like their smoked fish, dairy selection and occasional limited offers, though they prove very popular. An eclectic mix of other goods too like ironing boards, garden ornaments, safety boots and clothing, and lots of cooking utensil and pans. The tills at the end are extremely long, be warned though, the till operators send you produce through at lightning speed, its best to to take your basket/trolley to the back of the store and pack it at a more leisurely pace!

Oooo, it's a biggun. The staff here, particularly on customer service, are particularly vicious…read morethough, so don't expect miracles. Of course, that's not to take anything away from the shelf stackers and dudes that put the reduced stuff out - they work hard for a presumably low wage and can only do so much. As you'd expect this place has everything you could possibly need, including a cafe and also as per expectations it is as faceless and commercial as Madonna drinking Coca Cola wearing a Primark top. If at all possible, divert your course and see if you can get enough fresh veg to feed your family from the market instead - but most of the time I can't because stores like this have killed local business and I too must shop there. Go about 8pm-9pm weekdays for the best reduced bargains. Stick it to the man!

Aldi is one of those shops that I always try to go to before I do my main supermarket shop, just to…read moresee if there are any bargains to be had on the fruit and veg. I particulary like it that they have 6 items on a 49p promotion each week. When it's things like mango, pineapple or grapes you can save loads! I also like there shower gel which is a bargain price of 49p as well. It beats everything other own brand that I've seen for price and the smells are good too! Other things I buy are fresh coffee and coleslaw both good. At Christmas the speciality boxes of chocolate truffles are yummy and better than Thorntons!

Situated behind the Victoria Centre, Aldi is easy to access and just a short walk from Nottingham's…read morecity centre. Like other supermarkets, Aldi stocks the essential everyday products such as fruit, vegetables, toiletries, meat products and frozen foods along with some more luxurious items which you perhaps wouldn't expect to find. The prices are cheap and the goods non-branded. It can be a bit hit and miss sometimes with what you purchase so I only use it as a top up to my main shop when I'm passing by the area. Prices are kept low by having as few staff as possible, non fancy advertising and packing your own items away from the tills.

Tesco Mickleover is one of their Superstores (rather than the larger format Extra)…read more Whilst it doesn't carry a wider range of goods it does have an excellent selection of items including Tesco's F&F clothing range. The store can be extremely busy (especially before and after school and at weekends) but there's ample parking which is free for up to two hours. If you struggle with accessibility then there's a lift in the underground car park with step free access into the store and the aisles are easy to navigate. This store doesn't have a coffee shop but the bakery provides delicious breads and plenty of tasty snacks (doughnuts, cookies) and is well worth a visit. Further the store also provides contactless payments (up to £30) which is ideal if you use something like Apple or Android Pay. The staff are really friendly and will go out of their way to help you.

A sercutriy guard followed me out of the shop and asked me it I had paid for my shopping, I said…read moreyes I had, then he said show me your receipt. It was a good job I had my receipt because I was asked at the till if I wanted It. He said he stopped me because I walked out of one of the aisle. This is true, after I had paid for my shopping I then looked at some magazines on the rack near the exit. This was an experience which did not sit well with me and I shall not be shopping there again. My suggestion to Tesco at Mickleover is to always give the customer their receipt, and once the shopping has been paid for to then leave the shop.

Lidl is a fantastic budget supermarket which has fast become a favourite of shoppers, especially in…read morethe economic crisis. The majority of the shop supplies foreign food (mainly German) at a discount, with chocolates (and various other snacks), dairy products, fruits, meats, alcohol and various gifts, stationary and misc. Not everything in the shop is cheap, but often have bigger sized portions which makes them more economical. If you are not big on brand names, I would recommend Lidl to you. There isn't a great amount of variety and often products that are there one week aren't there the next.

The supermarket is aimed at the cheap variety, but if your looking for a baragin then this is the place to head to. Lidl like most of these supermarkets do offer the choice of bags, so do take your own, or have some cardboard trays handy, great for saving the environment, maybe tesco could start doing this and just change 5p for a cardboard tray, which they proberly have loads of in the warehouse. Very efficent supermerket.

Love it!!!!

They layout is good and there are lots of offers on products. There is a cafe in there now where you can sit and have a snack and a coffee. There is a tesco direct there, too, which is a bit like Argos. They sell books, household equipment, toys and a very small selection of clothes too. There is always somewhere to park and you don't have to pay a pound for your trolley!

But by anything you would want from a supermarket im talking about food so unlike Tescos they dont have a wide variety of CDs, DVDs, Games etc. They dont have much of a clothing line, just mainly back to school clothing. Overall i prefer Sainsbury foods compared to other places, the offers are equally as good as other stores and also equally expensive. The Sainsburys in Loughborough also has a cafe and a pharmacy. There are a good number of tills so you're never waiting too long to be served and there is self checkout which i think is awesome.
