We have Greggs at home... (feddit.uk)

And it is delicious.

After the nearest outlet shut its doors, and facing a walk of almost 800m (!) to the next closest, I decided to try Aldi's not-greggs-but-basically-is.

And honestly...They're not half bad.
We tried the rolls, chicken, and steak bakes. They're about 1/4 of the price. And live in the freezer. Ideal.

Not to boast, but we have an Aldi, Greggs, M&S Food, Food Warehouse, Home Bargains, Poundland, and Costa all within 300m of the house. Living the dream.

Goddamned, you could save a fortune by not having a fridge or freezer!

Do you live in a shopping mall or industrial estate? Either one would be The Dream.

Too bad you don't have a Lidl then you could also buy wetsuits, and the mini USB fridge, but pretty much everything else is covered.

The Lidl is 500m away. It's just too far. Almost did my back in carrying the pizza oven home.
