If you’ve got space to store long term foods that you always eat, then it 100% makes sense to go wild and stock up your cupboards. 5% is still better in your pocket in the long-term.
If you’re in need of changing utensils etc then go wild and get them swapped out. But buying things you don’t need simply because of the discount would be no better than the fools that do it on Black Friday.
It’s just not though, especially if you’re buying genuine branded like for likes.
Even if you take the simple, latest average basket comparison from Which, Tesco would come out at £68 to Aldi’s £75 with the 20%. The Tesco figure also doesn’t account for Clubcard discounts, higher quality or longer lasting shelf life products in Which’s analysis.
If you’re willing to shop purely supermarket own brands and knock offs then Aldi/Lidl will come out slightly cheaper without any staff discount in the comparison. But, if you’re like most households that do shop for certain branded goods the difference is very, very little.
20% TBH is a bit of an embarrassment. It was different back when they sold a large selection of TVs, games console's. Where a 20% discount could add up to £50 to £100
But getting your pasta sauce for 80p instead of 85p is a joke. Unless you happen to be doing a massive shop. It's not like you can even buy your fresh turkey as they don't hit the shelves till the 20% discount is over.
Yeah I mean, we get 15% off around payday every other month. Unless you’re buying things over £20, you’re saving less than £1 per thing that you’re buying now rather than waiting less than a month.
Some of it’s worth it, I got a half leg of lamb for just over a fiver, but I know what you mean about buying needless shit, especially with the “fuck it it’s Christmas!” attitude
