Paid Members FelatioLips Posted September 14, 2018 Paid Members Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I've eaten half a bag of "Cool" Snackrite Tortilla Chips there from Aldi and they're another knockoff product I think I'd pick over the real thing. There are so many cheaper alternatives that are just as good or better but when I was a kid you'd get absolutely pelted for shopping at Aldi or Netto. Netto especially. If it was around today it'd make a fortune. We did Aldi when I was a kid and their Lasagne was the dog's bollocks, as were these little oblong shaped yogurts with fruit at the bottom. Jives are a poor man's Twix but I'd choose them all day long. Crumblier biscuit, smoother caramel. Kids these days have it easy being able to shop there without becoming a pariah. What's the shop everyone even picks on these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 14, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 When I lived in Yorkshire as a teen some years ago it was 18p for 10 fish fingers at Netto. Top stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 The magnum knock offs in Lidl are £1.79 for a pack of SIX! And they are better than the real deal. The only thing with Lidl is there's absolutely no guarantee they'll have what you want. My local one was out of beans for 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted September 14, 2018 Paid Members Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 If Aldi or Lidl did home delivery, we'd shop there pretty much exclusively. But yeah, back in the day, if you saw someone at school with a Netto bag, that kid was getting it. Even knowing full well my own mum was shopping at Netto and KwikSave on the regular.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 14, 2018 Paid Members Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) We used to shop in ASDA all the time, but we'd always take our own bags. We were poor, but we kayfabed it well. Edited September 14, 2018 by IANdrewDiceClay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Blog Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Rumour was that it was easier to get served underage in Netto. Was it fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of thing isn't decided by the chain, it's the individual server. You had to pick the cashier most likely not to give a shit/be intimidated by a gang of youths. Delete as applicable.

Joe Blog Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 When you are 16 and look 12 you don’t have such insight. And thank you for assuming that I was popular enough to warrant being a part of a gang of youths. My one friend and I thank you for that.

Uncle Zeb Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hang on, Asda? Okay, it's not Waitrose, but I'm not having it lumped in with the Purch-U-Foods of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 14, 2018 Paid Members Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 That's what I was thinking. Ok, Asda's reputation is a bit different to what it was in the 90s, but it was never a '4p for a can of baked beans' either. I remember before there was Netto we had Ed. Even cheaper if I recall, a French chain. They sold ridiculous amounts of European bubblegum for next to nothing. You'd get the shit kicked out of you if you were seen in there, but everyone wanted to get cheap sweets from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumblier biscuit, smoother caramel. I'm now at the stage where I reckon Jives are better than Twixes. Lidl's version isn't anything special. Aldi have (possibly just phased out) beef and red wine flavored crisps which are gorgeous, and their Monster Claws are a credible challenger to Monster Munch.

Paid Members FelatioLips Posted September 14, 2018 Author Paid Members Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I back up the Monster Claws. Teddy Faces are a tastier, crunchier Pom Bears too. Some of Aldi's ciders and ales ate great too. They do one called Medusa which is lovely, and their knockoff Kopparberg is just as good too.
