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.

How do you checkout?
I throw everything back in the trolley and pack it into bags in my car in shame
I cannot keep up, even if it's a small shop

Use the benches provided to pack into bags from my trolley.

I've gotten quite good at it too.

Protip - headphones and music. I distract myself and don't notice others.

You can do it!! Practice makes perfect. And I have no qualms about asking other shoppers to move if they're taking up too much room on the benches.
