Only thing i dont like buying at aldi is the potatoes. Theyre not that much cheaper than other places and for some reason they always have black spots in when i buy them. Other than that though i will buy most things from aldi. They dont have the biggest selection of meats but its definitely competitively priced and any slight lapses are made up for in the price

Aldi always gives us affordable Christmas food. Every family has their own traditions. My family always has Turkey, with all our trimmings including Yorkies, boiled gammon, homemade and Roast pork with crackling. Christmas day is a feast. When we were all younger we had 3 meals Christmas Day finishing with turkey and stuffing sandwiches, ham sarnies and mince Pies warmed and homemade Christmas cake. I used to make everything by hand including the sausage rolls my mother always used to make. Boxing Day was cold meats and piles of mashed potatoes and pickles followed by sherry trifle, evening saw a repeat of Christmas Day. My mother saved all year to make a feast at Christmas. My father always travelled to the big London meat market to get the turkey and would dress it when he got home. Britain is renowned for our Christmas Adverts. John Lewis has also made amazing Christmas Adverts. Aldi always releases a Christmas catalogue, so you can make your list. Due to the fact that they are consistently voted the top supermarket every year, now the other supermarkets try and price match them. Robbie Williams hit was Let me entertain you.❤❤❤ Wishing your family an absolutely wonderful Christmas and healthy and prosperous New Year ❤☃️☃️🎄🎆🎁🎁🎅🤶🧑‍🎄

Kevin is brilliant, the food isn't already cooked you still have to cook the essential Christmas Dinner items, this food is there Christmas section with special items not available all Year around, but they are all very tasty and very affordable.

[@doreenbennett2454]

Christmas ads are a very special category. Major retailers are with each other and take the Xmas ad VERY seriously. Don't forget that Xmas sales are a massive percentage of annual total sales. Each tries to be memorable and brand loyalty. I think the UK and US have differing market strategies. In the UK, it's popular to have 'loss leaders.This is where some items are offered at heavily reduced prices (lower than actual cost). This draws in customers who then ho on to buy other things in store. Fresh fruit/ veg are commonly loss leaders

Almost everything is home grown at ALDI UK and will show a little red tractor with the British flag, imports are mainly fruits... It would also appear from you reaction that the prices are very different to.. We have a very competitive super market war over here, ALDI do everything cheaper than the bigger stores, and they are forced to try and price match.. So in Tescos for instance, you'll see some items labbled up as ALDI price match.. That was a great reaction, I enjoyed watching that one guys... 👍🏼🇬🇧🇬🇬🇬🇧❤🇺🇸

I'm vegetarian and although in general I prefer Aldi food, Lidl does - IMO - a better range of vegetarian specialties for Christmas. Last year I got a puff pastry 'wreath' filled with very tasty vegan sausage 'meat' and cranberry sauce, which looked wonderful once baked - golden and glossy! - and served it with a range of lovely veggies, salad and tasty sauces; even my meat-eating friends enjoyed everything and asked for more. Pudding was also Lidl - icecream topped with apple/cinnamon sorbet moulded in the shape of stars, which I topped with whipped cream and edible, biodegradable glitter. I am a little bit disabled and although both Aldi and Lidl don't have staff 'available' on the aisles, once you find one they are always _super_ helpful. I just wait outside the doors from the shop that go into the storage area, or ask a checkout assistant if they can get someone to help me. The checkouts have a reputation for being super-fast but you know what, before I had my eye surgery and was severely visually impaired, I would ask the checkout assistants about the cooking instructions for anything new I'd bought, and NOT ONCE did I ever have an assistant show any reluctance to take time to help me. Rather different to the cashier's attitudes in Asda and Morrissons, I found. Oh, by the way, in summer Aldi does _brilliant_ alcoholic ice-lollies!

The bags of fresh veg range between 500g - 1kg and this year are between 8p - 15p a bag in most supermarkets in England. PS you have to prepare the food yourself 😅😂😂

Aldi and Asda have also reduced their veg to 8p but it looks like Sainsbury's and Tesco are sticking with the 'traditional' 15p. Don't know about Morrison's as I don't have one locally.

[@tracyholliday361]

All the main supermarkets have the xmas vegetables at 15p now, 2kg potatoes, 1kg carrots, swede, parsnips, broccoli, sprouts and red cabbage, can't beat it. Kevin the carrot is an icon. The foods shown are like that.

[@hellsbunniestv584]

I kinda like the idea of the mascot being a carrot, it's a fun way of getting kids to eat their veggies. ALDI do sell really good food, I find the fresh is better than premade though. Both them and LIDL's drop the prices of the ingredients for Christmas dinner to around cost, something that the other supermarkets has had to pick up on. I don't know about this year but I know that last year the Kevin plushies completely sold out, with them having to limit sales per person. Marcus Raddishford is a pun on Marcus Rashford, an English football player who turned activist, in the pandemic, helping foodbanks and bringing the government to task as they were meant to be providing food for children who's parents couldn't afford it. They outsourced it to a massive company that took a nice big profit and gave almost nothing to the children.

Just as added information, Marks and Spencer (another large UK chain store) produced a cake called Colin the Caterpillar and then took legal action against Aldi when they started selling a similar cake called Cuthbert the Caterpillar. The matter went to court and eventually a truce led to the legal action being called off. As an extra bit of fun, in the background of the Aldi Christmas 2021 advertisement (Ebanana Scrooge), they had their Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake being arrested and led off by two police lemons. It is near the start of the advertisement with Cuthbert in the background just to the left of Ebanana Scrooge.
