Yasss we need a part 2 with Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons & Sainsburys!

[@_old_man_]

And m&s!!

[@butterflyqueenuk]

And Iceland, & Farmfoods

[@22hydz]

Poundland

[@caedricthevampire]

B&M and home and bargains too

[@cjs3683]

ALDI FOR THE WIN

[@colleenclothier3108]

The concept of the checkout in Lidl and Aldi is that you bag it all on the long tables opposite the checkouts. Just chuck it straight back in the trolley and then go at your own pace ☺️

[@lester2162]

I thought that's the normal way to pack your stuff 💀

[@arafays]

I see a tutorial video coming up :P

[@cd55896]

That makes much more sense than having an anxiety attack at the till! I'll have to try to remember it next time. :P

[@CharsChronicles]

I had no idea! 😂

[@94frankiec]

Literally what I have to tell my mum every time we shop there 😂 it doesn’t matter about getting it organised at the till, it’s all getting thrown straight back into the trolly and then packed properly at the tables

[@emmafletcher2976]

You should test them by getting the same kind of dish from each store, like a spaghetti bolognaise ready meal or something like that to judge the taste fairly based on the same meal and not everything being different, cause I know there’s so much great tasting food in asda and that wotsits Mac & cheese was a bad choice especially when you don’t like Mac & cheese. Judge it fairly not with food you know you don’t like, Thankyou! Great video!

[@SunnyGee-jd6pb]

Yeppp I agree

[@arletteschu]

also maybe doing a "budget check" where you buy a set amount of things and see where it's more expensive (and if the quality is the same)

[@rachelbird2440]

I think Lidls should have gotten a higher score for availability - like a 7 or 8, not 5. There was such a variety of types of products, which matters much more than having a branded vs unbranded version of one product.

[@mills8]

Agree

[@sbasi2739]

and in living crisis times, it offers people struggling more variety which is awesome

[@CharsChronicles]

Agreed as well as Heinz and Dolmio items that were purchased. Loved the video as always!

[@g-s4995]

She said there was no branded food but brought Heinz baked beans 🧐🧐

[@burlhorse61]

lidl does do branded items-but the choice is limited.I always haveto shop in asda for the stuff i dont get in lidl

[@rodrcastro]

Lidl is my fave 100%. I hate the check out experience, same reason as Taz, I'm always so stressed bagging groceries lol, but it's the cheapest option and most of it is really good. There are some stuff like Ice Tea that I get from other markets, but my main shopping list (and shopping place) is Lidl 100%

[@jemina4646]

In Finland they changed the checkouts to normal ones after ppl complained abt them. Finns aren't used to pack as they scan and Lidl noticed it and adapted. I remember how awful they were at first but luckily it's been decades.

[@puppibanana]

@@jemina4646 same in Spain. They used to have the short ones, but every time they refurbish a shop (which happens very frequently) they install longer check out desks.

[@Michellejaniste]

It’s a really German thing fast and efficient 😂. The key to success is to put your stuff on the belt in the following order: 1. your bag if you want to buy one 2. Heavy stuff first (bottom of the bag). 3.. normal stuff ordered from heavy to light and 4. the fruit and vegetables cause they have to weight them and that’s when you have enough time to pack the last pieces and pick your credit card 😂 Greetings from Germany

[@shady2322]

Taz at Lidl: you can't get branded foods here Next shot: putting multi pack of Heinz baked beans on the till 🤣

[@lubabmohammad9164]

And the Oatly milk 😂😂 They definitely do brands, I get my little ones favourite yogurt from there and it’s branded but definitely better priced than anywhere else

[@OkayDrizzy]

I’m still here laughing at “superficial” and “fictional” LMAO, it happens way too often to me! 🤣

[@jelle3305]

As someone with till anxiety keep your basket or trolley. Literally throw/swipe it in then pack at the side at your own pace. So much less interaction and rush

[@abzyfabzy6055]

Getting the pizza as a ready meal in Lidl was unfair, they have so many other ready meals that are proper food.

[@hellofriend2109]

This is more entertaining then it is informative, it’s kind of hard to compare them this way. It was nice to see different things different places had. Maybe make a list of food you’d eat for a day or a week and shop that same list in different places and compare the same things to see what’s better value money, taste etc then the table you did would make sense

[@CarinaGB]

Yes I agree! :)

[@adriankeitch]

After downscoring Lidl for not having barnds I see Heinz baked beans and Dolmio sauce being put through the checkout... hmmmm

[@ElProf]

For me price weighs heavier than pretty much every other category so lidl wins imo, despite their horrendously stressful check out options.. Ours thankfully has a self scan section but it's also plagued by constant "random" checks

[@CinnamonGelato]

Ours has self scan too which is fine if you’re just buying a couple of things but if you’re doing your weekly shop you don’t really want to put it through a self scanner and they often close all the main tills and only have the self scans :(

[@liamorrison3859]

when your shopping at Lydl or Aldi what they don't tell you is to pack 'scandivian style' ... literally you're meanto to put everything back in the cart and then pack everything on those little shelves at the end of the walkway. I went to norway and they all did this & its so efficient!

[@celine8793]

Aldi and Lidl are both German supermarkets, nothing Scandinavian about them

[@kin1332]

Please do a part two with Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons and Iceland or Co-op. For me personally I go to two different supermarkets for my weekly shop - Lidl or Aldi for the cheap basics like cereal, milk, rice, eggs etc.or and for specific things I can't get there plus fruit and veg I prefer Sainsbury's. From the few supermarkets nearby I find that it has a lot of variety, the quality of fresh produce is one of the best and is not as expensive as it may seem. I do wish I had an ASDA nearby though

[@SunnyGee-jd6pb]

Yeppp same!

[@zoebicknell2200]

I do the same but go to Tesco as I find it's cheaper than Sainsbury's and is also right near the Aldi for us. I get the veggie mince from Tesco because although Aldi has an amazing range, I just prefer a specific brand and it's not extortionately more.

[@misszt]

Lidl deserves way more than 5 😩😩😩❤️

[@zoltanv9987]

Jay is so cute and adorable! Thank you for the vid, made my Monday more bearable 😊

[@notanothersophie]

coming from someone who works at a UK supermarket, I’d love a part two!!

[@almostanengineer]

Top Tip: The shelf labels should tell you how much per ‘each’ or ‘standard weight’, so it’s easier to compare prices across pack sizes.

[@linajurgensen4698]

Lidl and Aldi are both originally German supermarkets and in Germany if you have too much stuff you don’t pack your bags at the cash desk, you take your stuff to the counters behind and pack them so the cashier can continue in lightning speed.⚡️😂

[@momnahyasin3126]

for lidl they are really fast so they can get through more customers in a shorter space of time so they need less employees keeping budget lower and therefore prices lower. to make things easier you are supposed to just chuck stuff back into your trolley/basket and then opposite the till there is a place to stand and pack your stuff into bags properly and at your own pace. same for Aldi.

[@Samarajan3]

Would love to see more! Especially as an Australian who is jealous of the food prices and how many supermarkets there are.

[@cutie7659]

That airplane edit was awesome. Almost gave me a panic attack though. So good editing.

[@puppibanana]

Don't ask me why, but I love seeing supermarkets in other countries 😂 I want more of this

[@_old_man_]

we need a part 2 with tesco, sainsiburys, m&s aldi

[@syubiased6854]

Taz the fact you call LIDL Lidls is cute haha

[@alices3794]

I’m just stunned by how cheap everything is foodwise in the UK, I’m from Sweden (where the Gifflar cinnamon buns are from too) and it’s so much more expensive. I saw the Oatly barista milk costs less where you are than here-and it’s Swedish 😤 Either way, lovely video as always!

[@lubabmohammad9164]

Honestly I was surprised by that Oatly price (I live in the UK and never seen it for that little even though I do shop in Lidl 🤷🏽‍♀️) all the other supermarkets have it for anything between £1.50 - £2.50 (ridiculous price range I know). The Tesco opposite where I work have it for £2.50 which is insane!!

[@krysin]

Same here, as a Australian im a bit jealous of how cheap food is there.

[@SwankyStufff]

@@lubabmohammad9164 I think that price was for a different product, condensed milk

[@lilkitten545]

From what I've heard the UK wages aren't that high so that might be why things are cheaper

[@strangev0id]

We would love seeing Jay again x

Hey Taz (I doubt you will even read this) I just want to say, as someone who rarely leaves his home because, uh, wheelchair and stairs and all that... I *love* your videos :) they always put a smile on my face! I hope you are safe and well and much love from my tiny little neck of the woods that we call Slovenia!

[@Darcy4697]

I really think in order to accurately compare you should do your weekly shop in each of these stores to really compare the costs

[@Damianhairmetal]

Part 2 is needed Taz!

[@CatsPajamas23]

In the Northeastern U.S., the options are almost overwhelming. In most towns, even the most rural in New England (at least in CT, RI, much of NY, NJ, and Maryland, Delaware) there are usually two or three or more large supermarkets (Aldi, which also require a U.S. quarter dollar for the cart, t seems similar to ASDA (in fact, I think that they're owned by the same corporation) Shop Rite, Publix, Walmart Superstores, etc) and a few smaller, like Trader joe's, Whole Foods, and specialty grocers (like smaller health food stores and produce markets), and many towns have farmers markets on Saturdays, which are open-air under large tent-awnings where you rent a space and bring your wares, whether it's home, garden or farm-grown produce, cheese and yogurt, jellies, jams and baked goods, crafts like leather work and jewelry, etc. They're fun to go to.

[@Ariel-de8fe]

Taz: can't remember the word artificial Also Taz: has a law degree

[@oddryblack3066]

Taz i love you, you're so genuine and sweet and i love ur content. I wouldn't see myself watching any time a supermarket run-down BUT when it comes to you it's just so fun to watch

[@kerberno.1982]

You can still get a lot of branded stuff in Lidl tho.

[@bethanymunn3068]

Next shopping trip please do Tescos, Aldi, Morrison’s, M&S, Sainsbury’s & CoOP

[@Elena-fu7jj]

[@MistressKomakino]

[@bryonyforeman1799]

[@sarahgreefable]

My fave challenge we do in my house is random dinner from corner shop! They have soooooo much variety in such a small space!!! Also stock things you never knew you needed in a pinch - plugs, batteries, combs, nail sets, plastic cutlery, raffle ticket books lol

[@saliha.km7]

tesco has to be number one. every single food product will have the official branded stuff and they always give the cheaper alternatives. nutella £2.50 but then 80p chocolate spread option. £3.50 weetabix, but then then theres an option under £1

[@mills8]

Yesss! Part 2 - Tesco, Sainsbury’s, co-op, m&s, Aldi

part 2 yes pls!!!!

[@mercury6316]

was pretty unfair bc u got your favourite meal from waitrose and gave it a 10/10 which affected the overall results but then got mac & cheese which u apparently don't even like from asda ?? lmao why not just get things that you enjoy eating or judge the same type of instant meal from all supermarkets

[@Jamie_D]

Why did you never do part 2? Maybe include Aldi, Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons.

[@dulainey9453]

I need to share a hack. If you get corned beef in the tins, take the key to it with you when you go shopping and need a £1 for the trolley. It works just as well if you Jimmy it around.

[@mamina_]

I am moving soon to the UK for Grad school, so this was quite informative, Taz! Would love to learn more about which stores provide offers and discount codes for students and also good choices for veggies and premade vegetarian food.

Asda has got to be my favourite, you should have tried the scan and go in asda as it is such a smooth shopping experience ☺

[@syubiased6854]

My Lidl has self checkout

[@SydneyEvans]

Honestly Lidl is my favourite supermarket because of the middle isle and the bakery and the price. They do sell branded stuff though! A few branded things like pepperami or Heinz beans and my personal favourite haagen dazs ice cream etc. but still waaaay more than Aldi. Absolutely love Lidl.

[@Bricolage-ph]

These types of videos are actually really useful, you show us how it is to live in England and, as someone who'd like to move there someday, I find them very interesting🥺

[@izasetari8210]

My favorite is Aldi, similarly to Lidl it doesn't have many branded options but the veg/fruit quality is best and prices are very good too. I find that fruit/veg from Lidl/Asda rot quicker and are more expensive than the ones I get in Aldi, not sure why that is but for someone who does shopping only one day a week it's perfect. Good video Taz, I'm waiting for part 2 :D

[@meganpreston7648]

Can you do a budget comparison for the part 2??

[@JeffinerM]

Lidls has my heart 💙💛❤💛💙 Plus, if you're just assertive with the checkout people they will slow down or wait for you. And availability, maybe they don't have many named brands, but I've explored new foods in cuisines I've only had the bland "anglicised" versions of in other shops, so Lidls gives you a more genuine experience.

[@Coralboral]

I have never seen a supermarket (or any other store) with scan-as-you-go devices (and holders for them on the cart). That is cool. I´ve seen the scan-as-you-go concept, where you use an app on your phone to do it, though. But in my country (Denmark) this is still not so used yet.
