Their cat food is what my cat likes, so that's what she gets - suits my wallet, too.<br /><br />GB, good to see you are back in the blogosphere! Maybe you'll let us know about what you noticed in other people's trolleys next time you go shopping :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-28432383312344947002012-01-15T13:08:33.399+01:002012-01-15T13:08:33.399+01:00Oh dear.

It amuses me that branches in the whole of Europe mus stock skiing equipment or scuba accessories at the same time regardless of latitude and geography. I love that you get car components next to kids toys next to ladies pants next to stationery.<br />I find a trip to Lidl or Aldi (for they are very similar in business model) to be a real treat. Last time I bought dishwasher tablets, a set of ring spanners, some rechargeable batteries, grape juice (for my winemaking), a fruit loaf, a pocket translator (8 European languages. very helpful to me on my travels) and some socks with sticky traction pads on the sole for Mrs E. Absolutely marvelous value!Perlnumquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719930860859412405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-29046857809684805632012-01-13T08:07:18.994+01:002012-01-13T08:07:18.994+01:00Scriptor, I didn't know Aldi have the same non...Scriptor, I didn't know Aldi have the same non-food promotions in England as in Germany!<br /><br />Frances, is your story on your blog? I'd like to read it! The poor postie who has to deliver those slices of ham in the envelopes... or maybe it will make him friends with the dogs he encounters on his round :-)<br /><br />Julie, love your little background sketch of the woman in front of me! Thank you!<br /><br />Canadian Chickadee, I wonder how many of them really DO think anything at all when they see what you buy, I doubt that many people consciously take any note of it.<br />Not that long ago, the guy behind me in the line was trying to chat me up by commenting on the cat food I'd put on the conveyor. He was not successful, although I was, of course, friendly and polite.<br /><br />Kristi, I rather think of this as not being judgemental but letting my imagination wander, a creative process :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-24460312106294650032012-01-13T03:20:03.822+01:002012-01-13T03:20:03.822+01:00Fascinating to see what you think about the shoppe...Fascinating to see what you think about the shoppers ahead of you in the check-out line!

Its not unusual to see six to eight bottles of wine in a cart, and also by the case. <br />Now about that cart. Baked ham with spicy crust,and clementine sauce (much like orange sauce) parsip souffle, and a simple dessert of fresh clementines and espresso. <br />There is also a chilled reisling to be served but her friend is bringing that.<br />Lots of leftover ham for sandwiches or to add to the omelettes and soups in the days to come.<br />The envelopes are for the recipe for the souffle. (Everyone always asks for it) <br />xx<br />julieJulie Whitmore Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283540996942265818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-58418948895546692732012-01-11T18:14:46.028+01:002012-01-11T18:14:46.028+01:00I think she was going to post slices of ham in tho...I think she was going to post slices of ham in those envelopes, because she's a vegeterian, and the parsnips and clementines were for her dinner.<br /><br />(I've written at least one story about the contents of shopping trolleys.)Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-91524221623962274842012-01-11T18:09:10.182+01:002012-01-11T18:09:10.182+01:00We ended up with some of those Aldi envelopes last...We ended up with some of those Aldi envelopes last week - they were such good value!
