One thing I really like about Aldi and Lidl is that there is no messing around at the checkout. No coupons, no loyalty cards, nobody trying to grab your bags off you, no asking if you are collecting tokens for computers… The people in front of me are processed very quickly so I get out sooner. That’s worth a lot to me and it’s one reason I avoid the other supermarkets.
That’s a good point. The only thing about Aldi and Lidl and it always catches me out is they never have bank machines and only take cash but you’re right, they are much faster.
I find that coupons can save quite a bit off my shopping. I also use loyalty cards, though my hubby anti them, cos he hates shops having a record of all the stuff I’ve purchased

Rercy Aldi and Lidl always take cards. I have used coupons since pigsback launched and have no shame about using them.

Don’t think Aldi and Lidl take credit cards, only debits…

Yeah, my local Lidl will only take Laser cards, not credit cards.

Sorry, I meant debit not credit cards.
