And so they’re trying lots of tricks like Black Friday, which means today we saw this kind of lunacy?

Well here’s Aldi’s response.

And it probably won’t please those competitors….

Hmm, we think we did #BlackFriday last week. Although it was just called “Friday”. And it’s the same every day!

Supermarket staff have been grassed up by shoppers for trying to flog discounted plants – despite them looking dead.Customers at Aldo spotted the drooping pot plants and wilted ornamental grasses outside a branch in Exeter, Devon.They claim workers have continued to wheel out the withering greenery for the past week without realising it’s all gone to pot.

The plants were still on sale today for £1.99 each, despite much of the foliage literally withering on the vines.

A shopper said: ‘I noticed these plants looking the worse for wear last week and was amazed to find what looks like the same batch still on sale several days later.

‘A member of staff must be wheeling them out each morning oblivious to the fact these plants are as dead as a Monty Python parrot.

‘The manager told me he was watering them but it looks far too late to save them. I know Aldi shoppers like a bargain but nobody wants a dead plant.’

Bosses at Aldi – whose slogan is Spend a Little, Live a Lot – are yet to comment.

Pizza giant forced to admit blunder after Aldi shopper snaps Domino’s worker buying cut-rate snack at budget supermarket

Domino’s Pizza staff have been caught buying potato wedges from Aldi and fobbing them off as their own.

A worker at the Domino’s branch in Linlithgow, West Lothian, was photographed buying bags of wedges for 59p each from a nearby branch of the budget supermarket.

Domino’s then sold these to their customers for a massively marked-up £3.49 a portion.

The shopper who spotted the Domino’s staffer buying the wedges told the Daily Record: “I had a bit of a chuckle – but it’s really cheeky flogging Aldi products as their own.”

Domino’s staff first claimed they bought the wedges for their own use.

But bosses later admitted they had run out of their own – and blamed the shortage on the World Cup and Wimbledon.

A spokesman said: “With big sporting events in full swing, the Linlithgow store was faced with no wedges.

“We do not advocate this as a solution. We have spoken to the store to ensure ordering has been adjusted and our customers get Domino’s wedges.”
