We have a store called Action here, and we can pick up Kettle Chips and Hellmann's Mayonnaise for half the price of what we would pay in the UK -@SimCityATYay - a Dutch multinational discount chain, like their version of Aldi/Lidl; we use it all the time when we are back there. -@CynicAldi/Lidl/Hoffer are supermarkets so nothing like Action. Action is more like Woolworths which is expanding across Europe. -@SimCityAT
Aldi and Lidl here middle-isles are expanding at an ever-increasing rate - 4 at our local and they are building extensions to sell even more non-food.
-@Cynic
Down at Balaton (big lake used as summer holiday place), the local Aldi puts up a tent outside with all the non-food. Like blow up animals, BBQ materials, gardening tools etc.
There's a rumour Woolworths might return to the UK. It was on a news site (might have been the BBC).
It's a bit like Starbucks. An Aldi on every corner. Simpsons did a parody of it.
