Shopping at Lidl

I saw a report in the newspaper that Lidle and Aldi are effectively reducing the market share of the big 4 supermarkets. Lidl have produced a marvellous brochure with all their Christmas goodies and impressive it is too. I can't believe that they manage to source all of their meat in the UK. Fruit and vegetables are much cheaper there too.
I am really pleased that a monopoly. which the big supermarkets have held, is now beginning to be broken. I do wish that more people would realise how the supermarketing gurus are very good at manipulating our shopping habits.

If you Lidl's shoppers haven't tried their choc ices, perhaps you'd better not: you might get hooked on them. Magnum? forget it!

No Aldi or LIDL within 15 miles, but I am not sure whether I would want to use them. Compared with most countries we have a very 'competitive' food market with the big supermarkets continually competing on price. If a smaller chain was constantly undercutting them I would be very worried about employment practices and how they treat their suppliers. In the same way I do not shop in Primark.
