I think the problem is that we have become used to having whatever we want, seasons irrelevant. I find with lidl/aldi that I have to work out what to cook after shopping based on what there was rather than plan and shop to list.
No, you need a 60 or 65 litre rucksack (properly adjusted and worn with the hipbelt fastened, for maximum kindness to your shoulders). I'm not joking.
Stuff like tofu and bean sprouts possibly (but there's the Chinese supermarket for that 
). They stopped doing cannellini and borlotti beans for some reason. The shopping is one of the reasons I love London and Brixton in particular! Plus I work shifts so can shop during the day/week.
It wasn't so much the veg, I can manage with what's seasonal, it was stuff like tortellini that are handy in the week, but only came in meat. And pasta sauce, with meat.
) and then do my weekly 'top-up' shop in Aldi. Works really well for me.
I had the exact opposite least week
I want the meat ones and they just had veggie 
). But I've just discovered they go mad for the stuff in little foil trays, which is only 20p each!
Ha! Snap.
But could I actually fill it with it on my back ?
I get a special dry food for mine. I decided to try the senior version because they're 9 and they eat it fine but it must be lower energy because they're driving me mad in the mornings ATM with demands for food.My cats have to be on a special diet
Use a supermarket trolley to go round the shop (rucksack in trolley so that you can reach stuff without it catching on the shelves). Take the trolley to the packing shelf. Lay the rucksack on it. Fill it. Fasten it and heave it upright. Pull to the edge of the shelf. Reverse into the straps and fasten. Go home, stand near a wall, release the hipbelt, free your shoulders, and slide the damn thing to the floor.
One of the big stumbling blocks to my attempts to avoid Sainsbury's/Tesco was cat food. The furry fuckers turned their nose up at lidl pouches (and they won't eat the expensive stuff from zooplus either
I have to get East End cannellini beans from Tesco. They are in the 'Ethnic' section & are cheaper than Tescos own brand & are a better quality.I can't think of much that I can't get from Lidl tbh.
leads me to conclude that Lidl is much nicer than Aldi. Is this a national experience or is just the difference between Todmorden, Sowerby Bridge and Clitheroe (Lidl) and Halifax and Keighley (Aldi)?
I popped into Aldi in Keighley today for a christmas pudding and to try their wine.
I've only ever been into two Aldi and three Lidl but a survey based on just five stores stores
Also I bought the 12 months matured christmas pudding, does anyone know if that's the one they got all the praise for last year? Or do I need to back again to get the right one
My mum's local Aldi is far nicer than Lidls in Brixton - I assumed that's because it's in leafy suburbia, but it sounds like it's across the board then. Peckham is a bit too far for me, unfortunately.
) and they were very nice indeed...
Orang Utan might like them.
The first time I went they were selling wetsuits which I thought was kind of interesting for Finsbury Park
