There must be loads of people in my boat, I would love to have the time to search about but I barely have enough time in my day to wonder what to make for dinner nevermind shop around to buy it
It can take ages to do and can be frustrating but it's always a good feeling when you get that bargain! lol

I did a shop in Aldi just before Christmas - purely because I had so little time to shop before going to my son's nursery nativity and I am glad I don't have to do it all the time, as I wasn't really impressed with their range or the quality - although it was definitely cheaper than Tesco who I usually use.
Needs must and all that, not to mention I really don't like paying more than I have to!
How can you say Aldi is not good quality
I think a lot of their stuff is better than the bigger supermarkets. Their fruit is a lot better as it doesn't go off so quickly, not to mention it's a lot cheaper. I now drink their tea, which is saying something as I have always had Yorkshire tea. I also get their chinese/curry sauces which are much nicer than the other supermarkets, as well as cheaper. Their prawn crackers are cheaper, and nicer as well. The list is endless.....
I totally agree with the range though and I do have to go to Asda every few weeks to fill up the store cupboard.

I write a meal plan and stick to it. I don't tend to buy any little extras, although some manage to land in my trolley. I also do a lot of baking so don't buy cakes, although I did buy some biscuits this week but only for 50p lol We eat a lot of rice and pasta and I buy that in bulk
