Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Another added: 'I look forward to trying these! Love the M&S loaded dips so let's see how the Aldi ones compare! Enjoy.'
A third commented: 'Ooooft!!! NEEEEED to try the caesar dip! M&S DUUUUPE!'
At the same time, someone else beamed: 'Consider me influenced.'
Not only this, but another savvy shopper wrote: 'Thanks for sharing. I'm going to Aldi.'

M&S shoppers swoon over 'comfy' £40 day or night dress with 'superb quality'
Marks and Spencer's customers are raving about a "stylish" holiday dress that they claim is "perfect" for relaxing by the sea or swimming pool, or for classy evening events. The knitted dress has been praised by plenty of women for its "flattering style" and "superb quality." Following a significant cyber attack, the retailer had to pause accepting online orders, but it has now resumed some of its core shopping services. From April 25 to June 9, M&S was unable to process any orders via its website or app. The item that has made a comeback with dozens of shoppers adding it to their baskets is the £39.50 Cotton Blend Knitted Round Neck Midi Dress. M&S describes the dress as having a "bohemian look and airy feel" due to its knit texture and design. According to the website, the dress features a "flattering slim fit with a round neck and a stylish sleeveless shape". The dress ends at a 'comfortable' midi length and is finished with a contrasting ruffled hem, reports the Mirror. For those interested in similar styles, there's the Love and Roses Neutral Crochet Midi Dress available at Next for £59 or New Look's Black Crochet Square Neck Maxi Beach Dress, which is currently on offer at 25% off for £24.74. However, it's the ivory-coloured dress with black detailing from M&S, offered in sizes XS to XL, that has won over shoppers. (Image: M&S) Based on nearly 120 customer reviews, people can be confident that the fit is "true to size". There is a handy tool online to work out how standard dress sizes convert to the XS-XL scale. One customer said: "Absolutely love this dress, the style, fit and material. Bought as a beach dress but would definitely wear it out at night." Another added: "Really lovely dress fits snugly but without feeling tight or showing any lumps or bumps." A third wrote: "A versatile dress that can be dressed up or down. So comfortable with a flattering style and superb quality." Meanwhile, someone else commented: "This is the perfect dress for my upcoming holiday. The material is of a lovely quality and a flattering cut. It looks great with a pair of wedges." While most reviews were glowing, some critics voiced their honest opinions. The dress did not receive anything less than a two-star rating, and those low scores were minimal. (Image: M&S) A reviewer titled their review of the dress as "shapeless," adding: "Great quality dress and very pretty - but too much material around the middle, the waist needs nipping in slightly." Others wanted to love the dress and balanced that out with some three-star reviews, with people claiming it was "just too long" for their liking, but most women also mention they were on the shorter side, which may explain the issue. Nonetheless, the majority of feedback was positive. Another satisfied customer said: "Great summer dress, lovely fabric, had seen similar on Mint Velvet for four times the price. Like the cotton mix stretch fabric, not too clingy. Very pleased with purchase." Someone else put: "Lovely dress, very flattering, didn't cling to all the wrong places which I feared it might! Retains shape will and didn't go baggy." And, one more review read: "Lovely little wardrobe piece. It is easy to pop on and you're ready to go. Looks great and will take you anywhere - day or night."
