Shopping

Food is sold in supermarkets are grouped 

Luxury, Branded, Own Brand, or Value

Lidl and Aldi are different in stocking only one or two brands of each product but are always of a good quality.

Martin Lewis has shown that by downsizing only one level will give an average saving of 33% on supermarket bills.

Try it, go slowly only drop a couple of items at the same time go and be prepared to go back up  if you get a turned up nose on anything.

If you try to change too much too soon it will be noticed and then everything will be viewed with suspicion.

Over a few months Nanny gradually substituted brand corn flakes for Kellogg’s. Topping up and mixing in the Kellogg’s Box. Then after a few more months she opened an own brand box said “try these?”

After watching them pour from the box and a very tentative taste Grandpa said “Definitely not as good as Kellogg’s, but really not that bad, let’s give them a try don’t want to waste them eh.”

He really hates change.

Thus proving we do eat with our eyes I suppose.

Lidl sell their Freeway cola for around 40p per 2 litres and my kids always buy in preference to Coke or Pepsi, though James still reckons Cherry Coke is the best but deliberately only has it occasionally to keep it that way.

I tend to Switch between Sainsbury, and Lidl, mainly now days as I get off the bus outside Lidl, and get back on to go home outside Sainsbury’s.
