Have never shopped at either one ... but if I did, I suppose Aldi, since I've seen more which might mean they're better. I think its best to spend a lot on food, health-wise.
they are owned by the same company. they are all owned by Safeway Foods Ltd. which also owns Safeway its the riches supermarket chain and they offered 120 million for tesco when tesco was in its early stages but tesco refused, tesco is now worth something like 50 billion
Im not skint (or Eurotrash) but I occasionally go into Lidl, but I only go for 2 things. Firstly their black forest ham is not only great value, but it tastes awesome too. Secondly, they get foreign Pepsi which has a slightly mellower taste than our own and I sometimes buy that.
I haven't had to use either for a while BUT I like German food and that is the best place to get German food. A few years ago we had a German student staying with us and she said a good num ber of the stuff at lidls were brands she knew from Germany. They were also the only places for years that I could get iced tea in the UK.
You can tell I live in a classy town because we have both an aldis and a lidls. The one thing Aldis has over Lidls is a 'healthy' range.
Depends on which country your in
In Germany I prefer Aldi over Lidl because of the A brand stuff (like coca cola etc.) But here in Holland it doesn't matter which one you visit, in my town they are neighbours, so if the Aldi hasn't the product I go to lidl, and visa versa...
the thing many people dont know is that the quality of both sortiments is insanely good. big companies like nestle and alike sell their products simply under different name and a crappy package so their brands arent being hurt but its actually the same product they sell in other stores for a lot more (yogurt for example).
I know I read a very interesting article on that
maybe someone wants to dig it up

True....Many products are just the same as A brands, just a different label...
I just don't like the aldi that much, because here, they don't have 'fresh' vegetables...So I still need togo to 2 stores..

Back in school I worked on a project about distribution of brand names, and believe me, almost ALL producers do this to target all markets and to take full advantage of their production, stock -and distribution systems. Even within same stores, you can find same product with different package.
Obviously, I can't start mention names, but this is based on interviewing many managers at all levels. So next time you buy, look at the producer names, not the product name

i know which is why i mentioned it.
i just find it funny when people blame those cheap retailers, saying that the quality of what they sell sucks whereas its the same they buy more expensive elsewhere

Yes, most of the standard products are the same, but there are other factors like service, fresher products, wider product line etc, that make people willing to pay more. And the shopping experience... I don't wanna wait 10 minutes in line or ask for something missing on shelves, just because they have less employees

True
I used to work for a company who delivered optical sensors for the packaging industry, visited a LOT of production plants. And its true, row A makes the A brand for $5.99 a carton and row B makes the same for 3 bucks less for Aldi or Liddl.
Oh yea, chocolate. One of the producers made "luxury" chocolate that looked very nice and with the finest paper. Meanwhile, you could buy it with same ingredients under another name and boring look... but with 5 times the weight and 5 times cheaper
