I don't buy anything....horsemeat included...from Aldi.
Does that company support local community sporting clubs, like the cricket/footy/netball/ pony club etc etc
etc etc?
Like the long term supermarkets do...
IGA, Coles, Safeway did when we lived, worked and played in central Vic ten years ago,
I don't remember seeing any Aldi signs at the footy ground when we went back in December ?

I read recently that Aldi manage to keep their prices lower by restricting the hours that they're open.

Not sure if Aldi support local sports clubs or if they support anyone at all, but surely giving jobs to people has to account for something.
Why so much negativity towards Aldi?

Head in the sand Woolies and Coles shoppers. Aldi was instrumental in getting those two to lower their
prices in order to become competitive. No 'Aldis' = higher prices. A good friend of mine insists on
Shopping at Woolies because they get a 10% discount on one shop per month. At pains trying to
explain that shopping at a lower priced supermarket will beat that many times in the month.
To be fair though, there are a few lines that can only be gotten at Woolies or Colrs.

Yep, a lot of the Aldi knock offs are very ordinary, conversely some of them are surprisingly good, it's a learning process.

1.
There are no Aldi's in Tasmania thus l can't/won't buy anything from Aldi.
LOL
Got ya there!
We've lived, worked and played in small towns in Vic and Tas for nearly 40 years,
There were supermarkets in all three of those towns before Aldi...who all supported the local sporting community...and the local community supported them.
People in live in major cities or capital city surburbs may not care about stuff like that but it matters in tiny or larger towns in rural areas.
We've got family members in suburbia who rave about Aldi but they are only interested in getting a wonky fishing rod/ hammer at the cheapest price.

Unfortunately, you posted a comment re the brand name suggestive of a location, and I am certain Aldi wouldnt be alone in using them, by inference connect it to a horse meat scandal, then say others talk tripe.
Perhaps that comes from Jindurra Station as well.
Fine, dont use Aldi, say you dont, but please dont try this sort of comment as part of your against argument.
Theres no against argument. I was surprised that they gave a very Aussie, even indigenous name on the articles semmingly to cultivate an Australian connotation. Yeah, seemingly before you loose it.
You are very acetic over nothing so often!

We never shop for meat at Aldi not because of quality issues but quantity issues. Being aimed at families wanting to save money, most of their meat is in larger quantities which isn't ideal when you're only buying for two. We go to a reliable local butcher where we can at least ask for five of those sausages or those two T-bone steaks etc.

Not a huge fan of ALDI, but Community support does not have to be sport related.
ALDI support Camp Quality which is an outstanding charity providing help and assistance to families who have children fighting cancer
Having been involved with local sport for close to 30 years, Ive never seen the local Woolworths or Coles assist sport directly within the area. More likely to see local pubs donate to local sporting clubs, and this is so club members will return the gesture drinking their alcohol, eating their food and putting a dollar or three into their pokies

In Peru, we ate guinea pig. They keep them like we keep chickens and are a family protein staple. More tender than rabbit. Tasty little rodents, too!
