However, once I'm in an Aldi or Lidl store I struggle (in general) to see any real differences. They stock similar products (probably sourced from the same manufacturers), at similar prices. Even their store layouts are the same. (I was in the Ipswich Aldi the other day and I knew where to find everything because their store is almost identical to the Stowmarket Lidl).
The only major factor which draws me to Lidl (other than simple geography) is their Super Weekend deals which, most weeks, include decent quality wine at really low prices. For example, their Bordeaux Superieur is a damned good wine for £4.99 (which could cost £8.99 elsewhere). However, for those who get there early enough, it's on offer at just £2.99 this weekend. Aldi also have good wines but I've yet to see them match offers like that one.

>>> I prefer Aldi. I just wish they had a bakery like Lidl.

Unusually glib response. Still. It appears that the people of Belgium, Germany and of course Greece are similarly not pleased with Lidl. It was even a topic highlighted on Belgian TV. No such discrimination though when it comes to minarets on Islamic buildings.
//Customers have also pointed out that some of the Halal meat products on offer at Lidl appear to feature buildings with minarets - a piece of Islamic religious architecture.//
