I used to love Aldi and have learned to live with Lidl since we moved here at the beginning of September. I buy a few bits from Morrisons and we have a B and M Bargains which is good for a small number of things, too.Louise Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074355125344865358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505141047279582040.post-26721132328485089182016-02-24T14:49:06.673+00:002016-02-24T14:49:06.673+00:00Could you go shopping with your parents a couple o...Could you go shopping with your parents a couple of times so they can take advantage of your vouchers (and you would collect lots of Nectar points too), that way you would be able to use all the vouchers and qualify for the offer at the end ... or do they live too far away for this to be possible?<br /><br />Anyway I love your strategy with this shop AND the impressive array of food for the cash you actually spent :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505141047279582040.post-72250750848591589382016-02-09T16:05:20.524+00:002016-02-09T16:05:20.524+00:00We don't get the same kind of loyalty vouchers...We don't get the same kind of loyalty vouchers here in France - they're nowhere near as good.

Like you I plan the best way to spend my discount when I get a coupon from the big 4. They dictate to their suppliers, I don't feel the less bit guilty 'USING' them!

I've never shopped at Aldi but we popped in last weekend just to have a look as I've heard so many people say they get good deals there but to be honest, I didn't think the prices were all that competitive, well, not on the things I looked at anyway. I think we need to shop in a range of shops these days to get the best bargains and beat the supermarkets at their own game.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505141047279582040.post-64396154273054501472016-02-05T18:16:14.641+00:002016-02-05T18:16:14.641+00:00Are the vouchers transferable-could your s be give...Are the vouchers transferable-could your s be given to your parents to use, and beat them at the game. What is it with bonuses for new customers or to lure customers back, but little for the tried and true? I've noticed that on a lot of things-cable and satellite TV, phones, restaurants. You did well though, but if Aldi's works for you without having to be a secret agent shopper to get the same value, why invest time in Sainsbury.

I dislike the loyalty system of the big stores, although one of our daughters seems to get good deals by shopping in the same one. It's convenient to where she lives so the loyalty factor is only part of the reason for her choice.

We fill up at BP and save all the points for the week before Christmas, it helps with the last minute stuff we always need.
