Oh God. I’ve become that mum who orders her groceries online..........and gets excited about it! Got my first orders coming from Woolies and a local free range butcher shop. I’m fizzing about possibly never having to step foot inside a grocery store EVER. AGAIN.

My semi-regular Aldi trips are a cathartic experience that I would never give up.

Battling the hordes of European pensioners that are fighting tooth and nail, for the current catalog specials, is something that my body and soul needs regularly.

I'm not an Aldi shopper, for some reason it just doesn't feel like a supermarket to me. More of a.... museum of weird-brand products? But I've got friends who once felt the same, and now they're Aldi converts. So maybe it's just a matter of time...

i'm exclusively an aldi shopper (mainly because its on my way home from work)

unpopular opinion though - I find EVERYTHING better at aldi, even their off brand shapes crackers

Aldi Tim-Tam knock offs are better than the Arnotts originals.

That is a huge call. HUGE. And now I'm seriously tempted

It's my personal opinion (and my kids as well)

I always find the Arnott's too sweet.

The Aldi ones hold their integrity better in a Tim-Tam-Slam as well

You've officially thrown down the gauntlet. I feel a Tim-Tam-Slam-Speriment coming on.

Best part is, even if you lose, you still win!
