nope just correct 👍
Suspect why Aldi and probably Lidl are doing well stock wise is their policy of usually only having one size of a product and only one variety, which as a former Aldi manager explained on 5 Live some time back means the supplier has a guaranteed sale in their stores compared to the Big 4 where it is stocked in a variety of sizes and a number of competing brands. Also the sheer volume of the single product sold allows for the lower pricing.

I am having difficulty getting up the enthusiasm to care, presumably this is some form of snowflake joke, which has caused this whoosh moment for me.

Morrisons, Wilkinson's and BM are cleaning baskets. Sainsbury's has removed them. I don't remember Lidl or Tesco cleaning them, so I did mine.What I do not get is whilst most stores are either cleaning trolley handles or providing the means to do so none seem to doing anything about basket handles

Some people are upset about others complaining about struggling to feed their families. They really shouldn't get upset because at least they're not dying. They could just choose to read another thread.

The local Sainsburys superstore has a cleaning station just inside the doors where you can clean your own trolley, after you've wheeled it in from the trolley bay

Yes, it was the same at the big Sainsburys here the last time I tried it. I took my trailer in as a trolley instead. Not that I needed it with entire aisles almost empty - but now we're going round in circles.The local Sainsburys superstore has a cleaning station just inside the doors where you can clean your own trolley, after you've wheeled it in from the trolley bay

Environment Minister Eustice today claimed at the press conference that "food availability now is back to normal levels and has been for several weeks." https://www.gov.uk/government/speec...atement-on-coronavirus-covid-19-26-april-2020
When did he last do the household shopping, I wonder? They're out of touch, out of talent and should soon be out of office.

We have a Click & Collect from Asda tomorrow, they have just emailed, no red peppers, no dishwasher tablets, okay not essentials, but no milk!!
Although I agree with the first two, not so sure about the third, I'm not convinced any opposition party could have done better, or sooner which is the thing that should have happened.
