Just been reading that Aldi has confirmed it is to open in Chesterfield. This will create around 35 jobs.
Anyone know where it will be situated?
-
Maybe old Tesco they seem to like building near existing supermarkets.
-
Spot on Handy ;)
-
It's only going to be a small shop though with 35 staff, be good to have it in the town centre
-
I thought it was going on that waste ground near the current Tesco
-
yeah, its the land between the football ground and KFC, building work started weeks ago
-
Apparently it's open now. Should get right up Tesco's nose... I approve. :)
-
It opened a couple of days ago. We drove round thinking we might have a look in but the traffic queue was horrendous so didn't bother.
-
Wasn't there an Aldi Alfreton/Somercoates way years back, seem to remember going there a couple of times tried some of their own brands but didn't take to them.
What are they like these days
Are they similar to Lidl?
-
Similar to Lidl? I'll let you know once I can get in... ;)
We've found washing and cleaning products from Lidl as good as named brands, their meat is excellent, their fresh fruit and veg has improved and we never buy jam anywhere else. If Aldi is the same they'll do well.
-
Think I have mentioned before Dave that we were going to try lidl and we have at times but still use tesco's as well just can't get all we buy from lidl.
I agree with you on the products we have tried as like you say they have been decent.
Have tried some baked beans, soup, coleslaw, bread and other stuff - all been good.
Not tried washing powder, must admit have used Daz since 1970 :-? - old habits die hard on that one.
Will be taking daughter next week to do her shop so will gather some things myself whilst there.
Be interested to hear what you think about aldi

Had an interesting morning shopping for someone who doesn't like shopping I quite enjoyed myself, I reckon it must have been the 'challenge'
After doing daughters run hubby and I went to lidl (sorry JR) :-[
Shopped around, checking on prices and bought some more of their cheaper stuff to try.
Spent £33.00 for quite a trolley full of fresh foods, bread, and other stuff.
Mind you their Daz is 99p dearer than tesco :-? ;D so I passed on that.
Got to the check out realised we hadn't taken any bags!!
Sugar!! Have to pay for them here!
Ran down the isle (yes ran!! ) grabbed some boxes - phew! - saved a few more pennies there ;)
Toddled off to Morrisons ( sorry JR ) as we had a £10.00 voucher from the Mail unique numbers we collect.
Bought yogurts I couldn't get in Lidl and a few other bits which came to just over £11.00.
Hubby suggested we get a drink in the cafe - don't think we can afford it I said straight faced - but my eyes gave me away and he laughinglt told me he would have to sell his body then! :-? :-[
Huh! That won't even buy your coffe love! :))
Had free entertainment whilst we sat with out drinks looking through a window.
Elderly person took 5 attempts to reverse park!
He kept going up onto one of the little islands they have :-?
Eventually after attempt 4, female passenger got out, at this point the chaps side of the car was up on the island and her side much lower, so we presumed she just rolled out!
Anyway she stomped off in the direction of the stores entrance, leaving him to finally manage the parking (only just mind)
He then kept reversing back and hit the hedge at the back :))
EEEEE I had tears running down me legs :))
Oh and on the way out we got some petrol as that was just a tad cheaper than tesco!
-
Sounds like you and husband had a fun-packed shopping trip then, Pam.
I love watching people park - they get up to all sorts of stuff. Sometimes I want to drag them out of the car and park it for them myself! Then I think on to when I'm older, I'll probably end up being the one shunting into a parking space! ;D
-
We did actually Gertie, set ourselves a challenge to see how much we could save.
The free entertainment was a bonus ;D
As you say we probably all get to that stage in our driving eventually :))
I have sworn to pack away my driving glasses in a few years time - other than that I can maybe pm you to be my driver on shopping days ;)
-
To be fair to your 'Entertainment' Morrisons car park is a posterial pain to get round and parked up.
-
Being a woman driver I can't say I have any problems parking up there and I always reverse in ::)
( unless I have wheelchair to unload)
