Aldi - NOT amateur radio
For a long time, fellow blogger Steve G1KQH and my relatives have been urging me to shop at Aldi's. Sadly, our nearest Aldi's is in Ely, which is a fair bit further by car than our nearest Waitrose or Tesco. I have noticed that prices for a weekly shop seem to have gone up by around 20% at Waitrose when groceries and food generally have had negative inflation. As we were going to Ely anyway this afternoon, we called in at Aldi's to do a basic shop. For branded items you do indeed pay far less than at Waitrose. Either Aldi has very low margins or Waitrose is creaming off the profits. Either way, we'll go to Aldi's again when in Ely. I like Waitrose as a shop, but do not like being ripped off.

Glad you liked it Roger!
A penny saved is a penny earned!
Shopping at Aldi you will be right on target for a new rig within about 6 months! It averages out at a about 30% saving over the big named supermarkets, so I can see you getting your new FT-991 by Xmas..
Beats Green shield stamps, who remembers licking those and trying to save for the car?

Steve, it was certainly a lot less than Waitrose.
Too be fair I think Waitrose is certainly one of the more expensive supermarkets, it is more up market than the likes of Tesco so you would certainly see a big difference!
I will send you some Aldi notes, buyers guide.
