Cut price shops

On Page 3 of today's Birmingham Mail is a story saying that the cut-price supermarket Aldi is opening two new stores and recruiting extra staff in this area because sales are booming.

The reason, one of its managers says, is that hard-pressed punters are cutting back on spending so are switching from mainstream stores to Aldi.

I've never stepped foot in Aldi (or Lidl or Iceland for that matter). But my German-born sister-in-law , who's no stranger to pastries and other sweet things, swears by its cakes and, from those I've sampled at her house, they're pretty good.
